why don't you just take the dash off, and hold it up to a light or the sky and see what the pictures are?

Could be the choke light. Kinda looks like a level on a slant. If you're engine is carbbed it would make sense that it should come on when you start the car.

so..
check engine
seat belts
brake
choke (for the carb)

Maybe a Power Level...

there is possible 5 of the eight... maybe one or so is a dummy since it is a auto?
