Portuguese term or phrase: "luzes espia"
Outra fonte importante de informação são as luzes espia que servem para alertar ou informar o condutor sobre uma anormalidade ou a ativação de algum dispositivo do veículo.

Se trata de las luces que aparecen en el tablero de instrumentos. ¿En español sería simplemente luces de advertencia o hay algún otro término más común?

gracias!
