Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

This is the Electronic pedal control warning light, you have what is called drive by wire, that is there is no throttle cable but a sensor at the pedal giving percentage commands to the ECU for throttle response, you will need to see a dealer to get a scan to see what exactly is going on, but it should be ok to drive there, just keep driving to a min as if it fails you will have no throttle response and you may be stranded.
