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

SOURCE: dash warning light not found in manual - hot to turn it off

The flashing key-inside-a-car means the anti-theft system is working properly. On page 84 of the 2009 Prius owners manual, the explanation indicates that a flashing key-inside-a-car is normal, and is desired. It should extinguish when the automobile is operating. It may be distracting, but it's a good thing!!

use a wedge to wedge the door open a lital bit on top and use a strait peice of metal that can bend fairly easy to go down inside of the car and hit the unlock button. or call a tow truck company and they will come out to help for $40 or $50

SOURCE: i have a key symbol

This is your security or anti-theft light. Check your owners manual first, but I have reset them on other cars by unhooking the negative battery cable for a minute or two, then using the key fob to lock and unlock the doors a couple of times. I believe your car has a microchip in the key, so make sure nobody tried to start it with a hardware store copy.

Testimonial: " thankyou for your reply i will follow your advice, thanks again, very much appreciated"

Sign of car with key warning light on dash

Security and Immobilizer System Indicator Symbols Symbols & Tell-tales
engine_immobilizer.gifsecurity_indicator_symbol.gifThese are Security and/or Immobilizer System Indicator symbols used by manufacturers. One of these symbols lights momentarily to indicate that the ignition switch is locked and will need the proper transponder-equipped key to re-start. The vehicle is immobilized otherwise. Green symbols will flash when the vehicle is immobilized.
lock.gifIf the symbol is visible when the vehicle is on, it indicates a malfunction in the security system. If the engine does not start with the correct key, and the security indicator remains on, the system may have a malfunction. You will need to contact your dealer in either case.

WHAT DOES THE KEY ICON ON DASH MEAN? MY CAR IS STALLING DOES THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE KEY ICON. 2000 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED

The symbols should be explained in your owners manual. The symbol could mean that the key you are using is not recognized by the controller as being the correct key. I think this would not allow the vehicle to start at all. Are you using a key that is a copy obtained from anywhere besides a Jeep dealer? The keys have a chip in them that must be programmed by the dealer. If you are using the correct key, I would have the SKIM module checked.

Oil lamp and wrench warning light buick lacrosse

The oil light with wrench symbol means that your car needs an oil change and quickly. However, if you believe that's an error, use the Digital Instrument Cluster located on the dash to reset it or carry out the following steps to reset it:
1. Put the key into the ignition and switch to ON position
2. Once the dash lights have turn off - fully press the accelerator and release it three times in a row within five seconds
3. Now start the car and the error should have gone away

Car symbol with a key appears on dashboard,what does this mean??

That is a symbol for the immobilzer system in the car. Your keys have chips inside that are programmed to a computer in car. If the computer inside car does not recieve the signal from keys the car will start and then shut right down. Its an anti theft feature. It seems that there maybe something going on with your immobilizer system. If all keys work fine, have the dealer scan the computer for any codes.
