Yellow light on instrument panel

[TomHollywood]

I have a yellow light on instrument panel which comes on when I turn on the ignition and only goes away after the initial checks it does, when I turn on the engine. I've only just bought the car but it hasn't got handbook. Can anyone tell me what it might be and if there is a problem I should be looking at?

Thanks

if its the engine light.....
as long as it goes off just after the others its normal. if it stays on, flashes or comes on whilst driving it means the ecu has recorded a fault.

Yes it is the engine light and it stays on until I start the engine then it goes off and doesn't come back on. Thank you for that. It's put y mind at rest until I get a handbook.
