Meaning of dash symbols,one light on - 2001 Chevrolet Malibu

Look in your manual instrument cluster section. You did not specify the year, make or model to determine what it means. If you do not have the manual, google search year, make, model and manual.

You might want to check your fluid levels right now, as red light on dash is not good.

all lights on dash will light on start up but yours means that you have 2 programmed keys for the vehicle. it is part of the anti theft system. I hope you have both original keys

How would someone know what funny shape means

If you have no owners manual google dash board symbols

When you turn on the key you should see & know every
symbol on the dash
After the engine starts they all should be off or you got problems

It means that the vehicle can not go into overdrive.It is for towing or going down a steep hill.It is in the owners manual.Simply press the small button on the side of the shifter of on/off.

orange would mean service engine, like the old orange colored service engine soon lights that are computer or emissions related. red would mean oil or engine problem. it's probably a motor symbol so we can dismiss ABS or other red brake light.

Brake pads
●
Have the brake pads checked
immediately.
For your own safety: use only
brake pads that BMW has
released for your particular vehicle
model. BMW cannot evaluate nonapproved
brake pads to determine if
they are suitable for use, and therefore
cannot ensure the operating safety of
the vehicle if they are installed.<

if its yellow and on the tachometer side of the dash it means you have a burnt out bulb.
