That means the computer has stored trouble codes that need to be retrieved.
We don't have that vehicle here so that is about as far as we can go with this.

Will take a machine/device hooked up to a connector to read codes. Shops should all have them some places here will read them for free and sometimes you need higher end devices and you would expect some fee charged for that,

It's pretty simple......................
Take it to a qualified repair shop and they will know what to do.

roshan233 : Most people don't read the "owner's" manual that comes with a car which should advise you what to do with what warnings and lights and will frequently want you to return to a dealer of the car but you don't have to. As Hammer said let a shop read them as the equipment isn't cheap and needs to be interpreted on what action to take.
Just know the ignoring warnings of any kind is NOT good as what could be a small issue could grow into something much more involved and expensive or unsafe.
As said this car is not sold to where most regulars are and the readings are frequently done for free either parts outlets or other places to gain business but that "free" isn't always good. Your vehicle, you decide from there but it will take a shop to interpret what to do from those results,
