What does this button do?

There is a button on the dashboard in the headlight group that I can't figure out what it does. It has a symbol of a 1/2 upside down sun with a 45 degree line through it. It is a push button and is either in an on or off position. I looked in the manual; there is a picture but no expalnation. It is not the fog lights; I found that switch.

What does yellow sun symbol on dashboard indicate?

Headlights failure.
If the yellow symbol appear as soon as you turn on the dashboard, stop's light bulbs may be the problem.
If the yellow symbol appear when you switch-on lights, the problem may comes from the position's light bulbs.
Ensure that all of the light bulbs are fully working.

I have a 2000 holden barina and had a warning symbol come up on my dash. It was a yellow s with a gear symbol around it. Can anybody tell me what it is? Also I have a yellow button under the headlight...

That sounds like a TPMS (Tyre Pressure Warning System) Light. If that's the case check your PSI by blowing tyres up to recommended PSI levels (this will be on your doors) or resort to owners manual.

Alternatively check this guide on all dash lighting http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/tips-and-advice/152578/car-dashboard-warning-lights-the-complete-guide OR

I have a spanner symbol on my 407. what does this mean??

You need to carry out the periodical car service due (e.g. engine oil & filter, air filter, fuel filter, cabin air filter). The "service" spanner symbol "reset" button is placed on the lower right corner of the dashboard. See picture below:

Then you should reset the "service" spanner symbol by pressing on the "reset" button on dashboard, when ignition key is in OFF position. Hold the button pressed and turn ignition key in ON position. Hold the button pressed and see on the dashboard successive numbers will appear: "10", "9", "8", ... , "1", "0". Then release the button and switch OFF the ignition key. The "service" spanner symbol followed by "20000 km" (or "30000 km" depending of the engine type), will appear for few seconds after turning ignition key in ON position, and will dissapear after engine starting. The car service due was reseted.

Please do rate my response. Thanks!
