That's a low coolant warning. If your radiator fluid is full, it may be old and needs to be changed. But if everything is fine, then there's a malfunction in your computer system.
If your coolant temperature gauge (at the far left) jumps up near the red zone when you're driving, then there's likely a problem. It could also be your oil that's mixing into the coolant fluid. Another possibility might be that there's too much of either in the reserviors.

that tends to happen on a lot of f-bodies. there are a number of people, including me, that just unplug the sensor. just keep an eye on your coolant level and you should be good.

The low coolant light is not connected to the computer. It only monitors the coolant level sensor in the radiator. You can either replace the sensor or unplug it to turn the light off. The sensor is located on the back of the radiator about 4 inches below the cap.
