Have you thought about looking in the owners manual?
RTFM dude, really. It's so simple that I hope nobody answers
your question and you take the time to read.

"Blue Water Light" is temperature indicator
This light comes on initially after start up until the engine reaches normal operating temperature, if we're speaking of the same light.

The blue light is the low engine temp light...the red one is the high engine temp light...the blue light goes out when it reaches a certain temperature...
The manual recommends that you warm up your car by driving, not by idling...I usually let mine warm up for about 30 seconds in the garage before driving, and then keep the RPMs down for the first few minutes of driving...

If you just let it idle for like 2 mins that's a good warm up for all of the moving parts. Then all that's left is easy driving until the car warms up. If you use a coolant enhancer (i.e. Redline Water Wetter) you will in general warm up quicker.
