The row of lights you may be referring to are service interval indicators. They start all green(5) then to yellow and then red. There is a possibility that considering the age of the car, these service indicators may be malfunctioning and it does no harm to treat this as an aggravation and not a threat. However, if you have maintenance items that require attention(timing belts, oil leaks, regular service) then I would recommend that these items be dealt with and documented.
