   One on the left is handbrake, next is oil, next is I think an earth problem?, last one is the ECU light

   I initially thought the 3rd was oil. the light only shows for 2 seconds then disappears.
   
   I topped up the oil today and still get these lights but they all go once im rolling.
   
   the last light I have only noticed since putting oil in.

   first is defiantly handbrake. only concerned about the orange ones. if it an ECU light, any ideas what the problem is or what can happen?

   All the lights should come on with the ignition then go out once the engine is running - unless there is a problem. Do you have a manual for the car? All should be explained in there

   First one is to do with the braking system
   
   Second one would come on with low oil pressure
   
   Third one is low oil level (will flash for 15 seconds then go away)
   
   Foruth one is EML (engine management light) and will need diagnostics equipment

    Hi,
    
    VTRelite has nailed the descriptions.
    
    The braking system light means: Handbrake and low brake fluid level warning. If the warning lamp remains lit when the handbrake is released, check your brake fluid level.

    yeah i do believe as said the 3rd one along is oil level mine used to come on every time started my car, but i found that if i let the light go out first before i started it, it didnt flash so aint sure what thats all about.
