Be very careful with this one!
The check engine light could mean one of a whole host of things, for instance see my recent problems here
As stated already, get yourself to the dealer ASAP, or if you can't wait - check the fault code yourself.
To do this you must go underneath the dash above the driver's side footwell. There you will find two black plugs which fit together. Connect them and then turn on the ignition (don't start car). You will see the Check Engine light start to flash. It will do some long flashes and some short flashes. Each long one means 10 and each short means 1.
ie - long # long # short # short = Code 22 (knock Sensor)
Look here to match the code you get.
Good luck.
Ps - remember to disconnect the black plugs again.
