Usually that symbol indicates that something relating to engine oil pressure is not right, and needs to be checked out, and figured out so you will not cause damage to the engine.

What is the meaning of a dashboard alarm light in the shape of an engine?

Means check engine ... could be no water, no oil , no fan, or a dozen other things. Could also be fouled electronics or simply some low fluid level. Ignore it at your own peril. I suggest you speak with your mechanic about this as soon as you can.
