This is the fuel filter light

But if you mean the engine light

this is what the manual says

Quote

Check engine - AMBER*
The light illuminates as a bulb and system check when the starter switch is turned on, and extinguishes as soon as the engine is started.
Illumination at any other time indicates an engine fault - if the light illuminates while driving, avoid high speeds and seek qualified illuminates when the handbrake is applied with the starter switch in position ‘II’.
The light should extinguish when the handbrake is fully released or shortly after the electrical circuits are switched on. If the light illuminates
whilst driving, a fault with the braking system is indicated. Stop the vehicle as soon as safety
