Default Anyone know what the tach symbols mean on dash?

Simple question, does anyone know where I could find perhaps a keymap or something similiar to it, in order to understand what the different symbols on the dash mean? For instance, The (!) means the tire pressure is low, (BRAKE) means the E-brake/Parking brake is being used, but what do all the other symbols mean?

Thanks in advance!

check your owners manual, it has a layout of all the dash lights.

Brake light can also mean low brake fluid, as in a leak and fluid is low or your pads have worn down to the point where the pistons are pushed out using the extra fluid in the reservoir. So yes check the manual and trouble shooting.

yes, as this person stated, everything is in the manual.

and if not, a quick google search usually produces good results.

That's unfortunate, I didn't get a manual for my car when I bought it, I just recently purchased the vehicle early this month. Thanks for a point in the right direction though.

There's also a "cold engine" light over on the right. That stays lit until the engine reaches 128F. It is best for your engine to go easy with it until that light goes out.
