Orange engine shaped light on dashboard - 2005 Nissan King Cab

you might have to get gas. if it goes away after you fill up, its your gas light telling you you need fuel. or it could be your engine light. ifit is oddly shaped and illuminates after you start and when you start your engine needs service. probably low coolant, low oil or something has caused it to go off. you will have to go to a mechanic and get you cars computer checked. as it will tell you whats wrong. tip: don't buy anything the mechanics tell you you need after they fixed your problem. they are lying and trying to get more money out of you. as you are obviously inexperienced and they will take advantage of you.

light is engine fault

Its the Engine Management light. Yon need to get the fault codes read.

from what you describe its the glow plug indicator lamp,it should go out when the engine starts.

hi, all lights the first and important battery light this shows RED when the alternator NOT carging:
the oil light shows ORANGE LOW on oil:
the engine managment light shows when engine sensors detect faults shaped like an engine ORANGE light
head main beam BLUE when ON MAIN BEAM
indicator FLASHING GREEN light
hazard warning RED light
brake fluid low light RED looks like this ( )
brake handbrake ON RED light looks like this ( )
side light GREEN looks like a star
most of the important lights are RED or ORONGE gerry

I suggtes check in the Nissan-Xtrail-Owner-Manual for description and details.

Good luck (remember rated this).

that would be your check engine light you will need to go to the dealer or a garage that has a scanner to read the code stored in the car computer . your car is now running in safe mode, which is not optimum performance.

thats the heater coil symbol for the diesel engines.
does it stay solid at beginning as normal?
if the car drives normal, then maybe its just a loose connection/wire somewhere

You have a Rear Brake or Driving light is Out, Replace the Bulb.. Or check the wiring at the rear, at the lights.
