If by that you mean:

"warning light goes on when I start the motor, and goes off after first time I use the brake pedal"

, don't worry, it's normal, it's how it work. If it stays on even after the use of brakes, you have a bad bulb on brake tail lamps

Please, what does an inverted y with green color in the middle of orange light means in an s40 1997? I guess it is lamba light.

Hello, Phillip -

Apparently the lit lamda warning light means there is a problem with the emissions system, indicating that the engine management system is no longer able to control the fuel mixture. It means you need to take your Volvo in for service.

What does it mean when all the lights on the dash board is on?

It generally means you broke you alternator belt.
The alternator is used to turn off the diagnostic mode to show if any main warning light bulbs are burned out. So if the alternator were to stop functioning, they all go on as if you had not started the car, but just turned the ignition, to this diagnostic mode.
