It was had to steer and there was shuddering in the steering column. After a few miles the light went and it returned to normal.

The Prius has electric power steering. The "PS" in a rectangle means that the computer has detected a problem there. The red triangle with an explanation mark means that the computer has detected a problem with the Hybrid System. Usually it is accompanied by red symbol of an automobile. In any case you should take the car to a dealer who can read the diagnostic codes from the computer and determine the cause of the problem.

STOP engine light. There is something seriously wrong so do not operate/drive the vehicle before finding and repairing whatever is causing this light to come on!

What does a yellow exclamation point inside a triangle warning sign mean. Now check engine light just came on.

The yellow triangle with an exclamation mark will typically be accompanied by a message explaining what's gone wrong. Hopefully it will be self-explanatory - such as a low reservoir for the windscreen washer system.

What are the reasons for the engine management light staying on

There are way too many to list. The main reason it comes on is there is an emission failure of some kind. I assume when you say engine management you mean check engine light. Or the light with the picture of the engine and exclamation mark or a red triangle in the case of a hybrid.

What does the triangle with the arrow round it mean and what does the triangle with the exclamation mark in mean please

The triangle with the arrow around it is for the wheel speed sensor. The triangle with the exclamation point is for tire pressure. Low tire pressure would set both of these lights off.
