Red dash lights are warning lights that require immediate attention.
The low oil light is easy to recognize. It looks like an oil can with a drop of oil dripping out the end of the spout. Probably not that light.
The brake warning light is usually just the word "BRAKE" lighting up, so that's easy to recognize as well.
That leaves the battery or the charging system light. It usually lights up as a drawing of a battery, but not always. I would guess that you are having a problem with your alternator not charging the battery correctly. Could be a bad alternator or the belt that drives the alternator is loose or slipping.
You will have to determine what the problem is with the charging system quickly or you will kill your battery and get stuck by the side of the road when it dies.
