Explanation:
de wikipedia:
In a vehicle, a tell-tale is an indicator on or near the dashboard to inform the driver that a system or device is operating, switched on, or that a problem has occurred with the vehicle. The name itself indicates that it tells you a small story related to the vehicle.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tell-tale

Há também luzes que servem de alerta aos condutores ou informam a ativação de algum dispositivo do veículo. Há símbolos convencionados entre os fabricantes para tornar a leitura destas luzes mais fácil.
