It's the traction control. Your manual has symbols and explanations regarding warning lights on dashboard. What it means is when you are driving and the road is wet or slippery, the traction control feature activates so you won't slip or hydroplane when you are stepping on the brakes. good luck ms pretty...

Blue flashing light on dashboard on a 2007 versa nissan . And vehicle shakes at times .. what is this indication?

I'll need more information for this. Where exactly on the dashboard is this light? Is it next to a dashboard button? Is it a simple light on the display behind the steering wheel? Is it on the main information screen Does it look like a picture of something?
Blue usually means something is turned on that is normally off or only used occasionally like the high beam switch for your headlights.
As to the shaking, when exactly does it do it? Accelerating? Braking? Turning tight corners? Changing gears? More information please.

What is warning light on arrow pointing down wiggly on the bottom on?

What make/model/year of car. On cars that have the automatic stabilizing/handling sensors systems for people that over-drive in poor road conditions (rain, ice etc) and the car starts to go out of control. Believe it's called an ECS (electronic control system). If there is a problem in this system that little wiggly arrow might be the warning light. Best advice is to get a Chilton/Haynes repair manual that covers your car. These warning lights are covered in these manual. If you have the owners manual it should be in there as well.

I am noticing a flashing light on my dashboard. The item flashing is a car with lines coming from behind the car. it is beside d seat belt icon. What does it mean, and how can I fix it?

the symbol with a car and 2 curved lines behind means:
"Slip control" or "Stability control" (also known as ESC, ESP, ASR or DTC) warning.
Toyota Trac Inop Light Toyota's traction control helps you maintain traction on wet, icey, loose or uneven surfaces. There are complex wheel speed sensors that will trigger the traction control safety feature as needed. If you see the trac inop light illuminate, this feature might be disabled. A Toyota service rep can access the trouble code and identify what is needed to fix any potential issues. - See more at: http://jeffwylerclarksvilletoyota.com/section/secondary/toyota-dashboard-indicators#.dpuf

Flashing light on dashboard

I would have to say it is the anti-theft light since it only flashes after you lock the doors which if this is that is normal,shows system is armed. However when looking through the owners manual on a 2003 model it shows it as THEFT and not a key,2002 shows the same,however 2004 shows a lock. The only thing I see that even closely resembles a key is the temp warning indicator.

You can go to this website and pick owner guides on the left task bar,then input your vehicle info,then pick get owner guides,then pick the owner manual and it will show you a picture of the instrument cluster and what everything means.
