Default orange/yellow light on far left of dash

this is your low coolant level light or otherwise known as the birdcage light (looks like a birdcage)

this means your coolant bottle is low and needs topping up or you have a bhg and spewed it all out... here's hoping the latter isn't applicable

and a funny sig i've seen

yay a sticky. and that sig is amazing. i remember the first time i saw that light on my friends 300z, i felt like what that old guy looks like. i was like..."why is here a roman building in your dash dude?" cus his looks a little more like a builing than a birdcage

thats because when you turn sharp, the fluid shifts in the bottle away from the sensor telling it that it's low when its not
