There may have lights on the cluser for brake pad wear, seat belt off, wiper fluid low, coolant low, battery charge low, engine temp high, head lights on bright and oil level low to name a few.

The last owner of the car I have grounded the oil level sender wire to the oil pan instead if replacing the sensor, so if I remove the ground my oil light will stay on. It could be that you need a new oil level sensor or could be the 02 sensor light if the vehicle is equiped with one. They come on at 60,000 miles and the bulb must be removed to stop them.

The lights are diferent depending on year, but I will try to help you here. The round one with the dashes around the edges of the circle is the brake wear sensor light, this would come on if pads are to low or someone did not replace the sensor or have it even in there when the last brake job was done. Some people do not buy a new sensor. Front brakes only I believe. The oil can one is for low oil. The radiator looking one is for low coolant. There are also lights for ABS, ASR, ASD, high beam, battery, brake is for parking brake engagement or low brake fluid, SRS, Washer Fluid low, O2 sensor and Check Engine. They are pretty self explanitory from there I hope.
Left to right they could be: High Beam, Battery, Brake Sensor, Parking Brake/Fluid Level, Oil, Engine Coolant - Temp Display - ASD, Washer Fluid, ABS, SRS, O2 Sensor or Seat Belt, Check Engine.
These can vary depending on year and equipment as well as country it was built for.
