Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Cynthia Coan: "Iron mark" seems most likely, though I'm not certain how it fits into the context of an instrument panel symbol disappearing when the ignition key is turned to a certain position. The term, though, often comes up in connection to Volvos. (See reference.)
