Read your owners manual it will tell exactly what they are. A low fluid slsymbol could be your winshield wiper tank is low on fluid or it could be your coolant level is low in your engine. Try filling the windshield fluid first if the light goes out, then there you go. Become aquainted with your owners manual.

SOURCE: what does the low light indicator mean

this symbol usually indicates that the radiator is low on coolant. on some cars a similar light means low washer fluid. so check both of them.

I don't own a Chevy, but the description sounds like low brake fluid. Dashboard lights normally reserve red for brakes- I believe that it is a standard of some kind.

I got message on my car dashboard oil pressure stop engine off and other sign oil low glow plug and seleaplary sign what's that mean and tell me the soulation please

Have you changed oil in proper an timely manner? Is the oil low? If it is is it leaking around vehicle? If oil is full does car make any odd sounds? If all is well it could a bad sensor, if not you should keep check on fluids in vehicle. Maybe simple if oil is at proper level, but more serious if not.

The oil light shows on the dashboard

That means your oil pressure is low. Check the oil level. If its low, your oil pressure will go down. This also means you've probably got a leak somewhere, or its using, or burning oil...i'd check the level. If it's low, definitely add some oil. Then park on top of some dry concrete or newspapers or cardboard. If there's a leak, it should become evident after a while

The yellow symbol with a line under it means only to warn you if the engine oil level is low when its running. If its RED sign then this is your low engine oil pressure warning light.

Just bought my Honda accord 2007 but it did not come with book. When the wrench sign on the dashboard is lit what does that mean. It also shows oil......15% does it need oil change?

The wrench on your dash board means that maintenace is required. if your oil is at 15% it is time for an oil change and the tech that changes your oil will reset the light.
