I had the same problem. I unplugged the relays from the fuse/relay box under the bonnet. (Top left side) and replaced them. The problem disappeared. (2001 Prius 109,000 miles)

your owners manual should show all of the symbols and what they mean.I tried to get one to look at it but no luck...they should be in the manual though

This the hybrid master warning light, which means the system has detected a malfunction, there are many causes that turn the light on, there are about 24 computers involved, the best advise I can come up with is that you have the toyota dealer check this and diagnose it, this may also still be under the powertrain or hybrid vehicle warranty
There are quite a few things that can cause this light to turn on and yes you are right it has something to do with the hybrid system, unfortunately this going to require that a suitable diagnostic scantool be connected that can communicate with all the onboard computers, this will retrieve any diagnostic codes that are stored, a technician can then start to diagnose the system based on the trouble code information.
