2. ABS: There could be something wrong with the brake system.

3. Check Engine: it indicates there is something wrong with the engine system management.

4. Tyre Pressure: You may need to top up the air in your Tyres or check for puncture.

Informative thread tho I learnt the hard way a few years back with a manual Mazda 626. Oil icon was on but being a learner I was still driving. I didn't know what it meant and the engine knocked half an hour later..pls always pay attention to the dashboard, the warning lights are there for a reason.
