That is the "Enhanced Traction System" warning light. According to my owners manual, the light will come on if the parking brake is on and the engine is running. (So make sure the brake is all the way off.) It also says it comes on if the gear selector is in "1" or "2", as the traction control system is turned off. It also comes on normally if the system is activated (by wheelspin) and is working. (It should go off a few seconds after traction is regained. Lastly, it comes on briefly when the engine is started as a bulb check.

it will also come on along with your check engine light and abs light if your wheel speed sensor is out
