Answer
Bryan,
In the States we only have left hand steering cars and do not use that light. However it means exhaust temps are too high. Your car has a system that checks for exhaust temps and has recorded a fault. Check your owners manual or call a dealer for more options. On the State side 850's 96 and up the system has the ability to read fault codes. If your is in that year range you should also have that feature. Codes are read with a scanner in the OBD socket inside the car.
