Only if you don't understand what it means.
I agree the 35 seconds is not set in stone, but it's NEVER 12 seconds... unless something is broken.
even understanding what the light is for is fairly useless. for the general user, it's just an indicator of glow function and a reminder to wait before hitting the starter. ya gots to wait for the full cycle on cold mornings with older motors, and generally that's 35 seconds.
