What year/engine?

If its the engine management light the more you drive it the greater the risk of an even bigger repair bill when you do take it in.

That would be the engine warning light - the one that tells you something is broken. By all means continue to ignore it. Put a bit of tape over it if it annoys you.

Just don't complain when your car completely breaks down and it costs a ton to get it fixed.

Do you take the same attitude to stuff like brakes, tyres, suspension and steering?

You got an image of that? Sounds more like the brake warning, rather than engine management.

Looks like the "Check" pic !



Engine warning light

Illuminates when the ignition is switched on. It should extinguish as soon as the engine starts.
If it illuminates with the engine running, it indicates a malfunction with the engine management system. Have this checked as soon as possible.
If it flashes when driving, reduce the vehicle speed immediately until the light illuminates constantly. If it continues to flash, avoid heavy acceleration and high engine speed, stop the vehicle and have it checked immediately.
On some vehicles this light may be red – again stop the vehicle and seek assistance.
If it is safe to do so, try stopping the vehicle, switching off the engine, wait two minutes, then restarting the engine to reset the engine management system.
With the light illuminated, the vehicle is still safe to drive as long as no other faults are apparent with the engine. Have the vehicle checked by a dealer or garage as soon as possible to avoid any damage being caused to the catalytic converter.
