Chevrolet Spark Owners Manual: Charging System Light
This light will come on briefly
when the ignition is turned on, and the engine is not running, as a check to show

It should go out when the engine is started. If it stays on, or comes on while driving, there may be a problem with the electrical charging system. Have it checked by your dealer.
