Key Out
This is the Key Out Indicator symbol. This light will blink if there is an attempt to start push button or keyless start vehicle when the key fob is not present. A chime may be heard as well. Most manufacturers use picture symbols for this purpose, like the one shown below.

Without the key fob present, the vehicle will only go into accessory mode. The light will go out if the key fob is removed after the car is started and the car begins to move.

These are the Recuperative or Regenerative Brake System (
The two additional version to the left are Regenerative Braking Icon Indicator 
These also appear as household batteries, but as Max Regeneration indicators, they are meant to indicate that maximum regeneration capability has been engaged and operating. They will be accompanied by the following instrument cluster messages: Max Regeneration On when the feature is turned on, Max Regeneration Off when the feature is turned off, and Max Regeneration Unavailable when the feature is requested, disabled.
These indicators come from another manufacturer, Kia, which uses arrows and the colors 
This is a Regeneration Boost Indicator 
Similarly, Honda Motors Corp. offers the option the increase or decrease the rate of regeneration using a paddle on the steering wheel stalk. The result is the symbol to the left, a Deceleration Paddle Selector Indicator. Using the deceleration paddle selector, the driver can you sequentially shift through six stages of deceleration. The more larger V shapes are seen, the more deceleration is chosen. The M indicates that the choice has been locked in, suggesting the letter should be an L!
The symbols to the right are also used as Regenerative Brake System Indicators. 
If a standard or typical instrument cluster is chosen, the symbol to the left will be shown if a collision with a person detected is imminent. The symbol looks like a human male with energy beams radiating from his hands! It is meant to look like a man standing in the driving lane.
If a different display type is chosen, and a collision with a person detected is imminent, the symbol to the left will be shown inside the display. It looks like a more generic human with sound waves coming out of him or her. It is meant to indicate radar beams bouncing off the person.
These systems are generally capable of detecting animals as well, and some manufacturers add the image to the left to separate animal from pedestrian detection. As a driver, your reaction will likely be very, very similar.

This version replicates an actual speed limit sign that would be seen on any highway coast-to-coast in North America. It would be displayed in the information center along with a depiction of the car travelling on the highway. It is known as Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA), which is uses information from the detected road signs and uses the navigation system data to inform of the speed limit and to help maintain the proper speed automatically.
A step ahead is a system from Fisker Inc. that adds the detection of a road’s speed limit and adjusts the vehicle’s speed accordingly. As part of the company’s Advanced Diver Assistance System (ADAS), Fisker Intelligent Pilot, or Fi-Pilot, uses the symbols to the left to indicate that the system is available, in gray scale or on, in 
These images include the exclamation point and indicates a malfunction in the Speed Limiter system. The numerals found in the first image above are replaced by a broken line. The system will be unavailable until it is serviced by a qualified shop. Note that the system is a part of the cruise control system, and it too may be unavailable.
The symbol to the right is from an Active system and may be related. 
These are Electric Power Steering (or Electronic or Electronically controlled) (EPS) Indicator 
As an electronic system, there is a chance it can be “reset”. Pull over as soon as possible and shut down the engine for a short period of time (on the order of 10-20 seconds) and restart the vehicle. If the light does not go out you will need to take the vehicle to your dealer or authorized repair facility as soon as possible.
