Anybody have any idea what it's for ?

It came on the other day whilst he was driving, but everything seems in order and the vehicle is driving/running normally.

He rang the Isuzu dealership the car was purchased from, but they seem to have no idea, and said that if it's not hindering the operation of the vehicle in any way to just ignore it (it has since gone off and not come back on again)

Indicates that the vehicle is ready for a service. Can come on intermittently, or continuously. Prolonged use can cause damage to emmision controls.

If the light comes on, and the engine shuts down, its gone into protection mode.

Indicates a service is due.
