This is a Loose Wheel Warning Indicator symbol. The indicator is represented by a drawing of a mounted tire and wheel with a wrench or spanner above it in red. A loose wheel is potentially very dangerous so please find a good repair shop or your dealer as soon as possible!
Do not ignore this warning light. If a wheel is actually loose, it could and will damage the wheel and wheel studs. Further, if it stays loose, it could cause a loss of control and lead to an accident.

These are various Traffic Sign Recognition System Indicator symbols. If one is displayed as a sign (far left), it shows the actual sign as it was recognized. Shown here is an example of a speed limit sign of either 50 miles per hour or kilometers per hour.
With two exceptions these images are displayed in black and white in the vehicles message center. The first yellow/amber/orange version will be seen as a warning light in the instrument panel. It and the image of a sign set next to a vehicle indicates a laundry list of potential problems with the system. They indicates that the car will not currently recognize traffic signs. This is also the case if an exclamation point is seen in the message center rather than a recognizable traffic sign.
The second one simply says that the traffic sign recognition feature has been turned off.
A text message may also be seen on the instrument panel describing the problem. It will range from view restrictions due to surroundings; a malfunction in the navigation system; sign based speed warning; no valid navigation data and no speed limits detected by the navigation system; the data may be unavailable in the current geography; or an actual malfunction in the system. In any of these scenarios the system will switch itself off.
If the text displays an actual malfunction, have your dealer or qualified service shop repair the system.

These are Pre-sense Fault Indicator symbols exclusive to the Audi brand. It is seen either as the front of a car inside a circle and brackets with a star at the top in red or It appears as a broken circle with a triangle and exclamation point as part of the circle and the outline of a car inside in yellow/amber. Either may mean something as serious as a failure requiring service – likely in red – or as simple as a dirty sensor, so it makes sense to start with a car wash! The fault will not impact normal driving functions.
Pre-sense detects collision hazards around the car and initiates specific safety measures. A given vehicle may have only front, front and rear or 360° options.
If a problem is identified, the system may intervene with the Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC) system in the event of a skid. If a collision is imminent, the system warns the driver with visual, acoustic and haptic warnings and, if necessary, it will provide braking assistance to reduce vehicle speed or even a full brake application to avoid the collision. The system would then pretension the seat belts to reduce the driver or front passenger forward or lateral movements; close the side windows and sliding sunroof; and finally activate the hazard lights.

This is the MDM Mode Indicator (M Dynamic Mode) text symbol. Quite simply, it refers to a drive mode available in one model, the M, from one Manufacturer, BMW. M Dynamic Mode makes it possible to “drive on a dry roadway with high longitudinal and transverse acceleration but with limited driving stability”. This is automotive tech speak for transferring near full control to the driver.
M Dynamic Mode is activated by pressing the stability control off button. This results in the illumination of both the MDM and the stability control OFF symbols. The use of MDM actually shuts off the stability control system. According to BMW, stability control will only be activated when the absolute limit of stability is reached. This is pretty much impossible to define.
