Default What does this light mean?

There was a question on my local board so here it is:
alright, i have a lexus ls400 that i got a couple months ago used, but it doesnt have a manual...

what does this mean...

on the instrument panel, a light came on..

Its the orange silhouette light of a top view of a car, and it has like 3 lines on each back tail light shooting out...

what does that mean
I guessed it had something to do with the parking sensors? But then again, I really have no idea what it could be. It doesn't help that she didn't give the year, but I told her I'd try to find out anyways...

Is there a picture of the gauge cluster with all the lights on that I could get ahold of? Or if someone wants to tell me real quick what that symbol represents that would be great too!

Thanks in advance!

MeanLex is correct. It's probably a brake light bulb that burned out.

Is there anything else, less common than the possibilities you presented? I really appreciate the help - straight to the point. Thanks

So that would mean that the lights still wouldn't operate, if there was a short...

Since all the lights operates, apparently, I guess she's just stuck with an annoying little problem, but at least it's not a problem that is serious!

I thank you for your knowledge and advice!

When does the light come on? When you press teh brakes? or when you turn on your parking lights? That should steer you closer to your problem. Also, lots of people forget to check the 3rd brake light.
