Yes it is, it is the electronic stability control indicator coming on. It's just the vehicle telling you it is trying to adjust the speed of the wheels to acheive maximum traction.It will affect the transmission and braking so I owuld have it checked asap .Its safe to drive to the local dealer .Most common is a faulty abs control unit or pump or abs wheel speed sensor.Hoped this helped.Positive feedback and bonuses greatly appreciated.
