The orange light with the picture of the oil can with a wavy line underneath it is the LOW OIL indicator. There is a sensor on the side of the sump that detects when the oil is low.

There's another light for low oil, to the left of the brake light - this one has the wavy line underneath the oil lamp. Something to do with heat?
Some vehicles have a temperature sensor for the oil in the auto transmission.
