You're not saying where you're seeing that symbol, but if it's on a round cap on your engine cover it's telling you that that is where you add oil to your engine. If you're seeing the same "Alladin" lamp symbol on your dash display and the engine is running when you see it, it means that your engine is seriously low on oil or the pump/engine is seriously worn out. If you just see the symbol light up briefly on your dash as you're starting the engine, it's just telling you that the low oil pressure warning system is functioning OK.

Look in your manual instrument cluster section. You did not specify the year, make or model to determine what it means. If you do not have the manual, google search year, make, model and manual.

You might want to check your fluid levels right now, as red light on dash is not good.

Meaning of obscure red dashboard warning symbol on BMW 330d sport

Could you possibly comment below with a photo of this light? I'm not sure if it is the boot lid light as that is usually the image of a small car with the boot lid open. Also the noise would keep going if the boot is open as that's it job. A Red light means it needs looking at as soon as you can as it is possibly something serious. Does it have any other marks, letters or symbols inside the shape? This can help identify it.

I own a 2008 dodge ram diesel 6.7 has a lightning symbol in the middle of this ) ( and a check gauges message when this comes on.

The indicator you see is call a water in fuel warning lamp. ==== This a very important warning and you will need to take corrective action ASAP. ==== As a diesel owner,you need to know diesel fuel can attract moisture. When condensation (water droplets) collect inside the fuel tank,it will contaminate the diesel. ==== The corrective action is to locate the drain **** on the fuel filter and CAREFULLY drain the water from the bottom of the filter housing. (with engine off / key out) ==== The water in fuel warning light will go off as soon as the water is drained. ==== Use one bottle of RED Iso-Heet to remove any additional water inside the fuel tank.mustgo_54.jpg

Hi there have a picture of a car and a cross coming up on it? what does that mean?

According to the handbook for my 97 V40 that symbol means "immobilzer on"

The book says that ...........

"If the ignition is switched on and the key is recognised the lamp in the instrument panel will glow for 3 secs

If the signal of the key is NOT recognised the lamp will blink fast and the immobiliser will stay on.

If the lamp stays on after the 3 secs a system fault is diagnosed. Go to your dealer hope that helps please vote thanks

WE HAVE A SYMBOL THAT LOOKS LIKE A GENIE'S LAMP WITH A FEW DRIPS COMING OUT OF THE SPOUT

The engine is telling you to add oil or you have an oil pressure problem. Take a look at your owners manual for more descrip info.
