I believe what this symbol is the radiator. It comes on when the coolant level is low. Take a look at your radiator coolant level and if low add some to the full mark. Do this when the engine is cold to avoid getting burned from hot water and steam.

What does a symbol of a car with a lock on it mean on the dashboard

Use the Comment menu to add information to your question, please.

A possible dashboard symbol:

https://www.directline.com/car-cover/understanding-car-dashboard-warning-lights

"Brake system light. The first thing to do if you see this symbol glowing on the dashboard is check the handbrake hasn't been left on. ... That could relate to the worn condition of the brake pads or discs, a lack of fluid in the system or a problem with the anti-lock brakes (ABS) or stability control (ESP)."

Make, model and year of automobile.

Color of dashboard symbol or icon, and is it flashing?

Unknown dash warning light. Almost full yellow circle with arrow head at one end. Anticlockwise direction. Open at the bottom. Exclamation mark in the centre.

It's similar, but not identical to the standard brake warning light (these usually have two circling arrows, one on each side). Check your brakes. The park brake may be on, or there is a fault in the brake system.

I think it's time for a rule requiring warning indicators to have a printed label as well as an icon. Too many people have trouble figuring out the hieroglyphics, especially when they don't follow a standard. Even if you don't read the language, you can look up the word on Babelfish. You can't do that with an icon.

Dashboard warning light as a circle with wavy lines through it

This is probably the coolant level sensor indicator for the antifreeze reservoir.

Not sure what the icon on the dashboard was signalling

Semi-solved. It looks to be some sort of headlight warning. Fog lights?
I'm still investigating.
