    +1 probably your low-coolant light.

    Check the coolant level WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD and top off with distilled water as necessary. Then check it again in a couple of days, even if the light doesn't come on. If the level continues to drop, you have a coolant leak somewhere.

    The oil level/pressure light looks like a little oil can, or like Aladdin's lamp.

    Well, some people actually need it to look up indicators on dashes. As seen in the OP
