Dash lights typically come when there's a problem or for a reminder. In this case, the light means that your emergency stabilization and emergency braking assist systems aren't working properly.
It could be a clock spring, a wheel sensor, a transmission speed sensor, or it could be some other component failure. The first and easiest to try is a recalibration. Start the car and while in park, turn the wheel all the way left until it stops and then all the way right until it stops. If the light doesn't reset, you may have one of the previoulsy mentioned issues. Take it in to have it scanned. (Programmers and hand held scanners usually don't read these codes.) As long as the light is on, the safety systems mentioned earlier ARE NOT WORKING!
