Now I'n pretty sure that the "1" in the box is only a calender symbol (as "Paavju") wrote and the three "clovers" or what ever, are "stars" for economical driving.
And I suppose three stars in the best you can get, since I have been broken in my car.

To be even more exact, what do these "guys" (marked yellow) mean?

I do not know. I do not have them - at least not yet; however, I only have 450 miles on the clock. We will see what happens later on mine. I do notice that the instrument clusters are reversed for your right hand drive version. The economy meter on yours runs clockwise. The US version/left hand drive runs counter clockwise.

Sorry, let me be more precise - the Efficient Dynamics gauge is the only thing reversed. Your right hand drive has it on the left whereas my left hand drive has it on the right. Very strange that they would not be the same.

It's not right hand drive. They have the steering wheel on the left side in Finland, just as all mainland countries in Europe. It's the average consumption measurement that is different. Liters per 100 kilomters instead instead of miles per gallon. This reverses the efficient dynamics gauge.

Thanks again for the information.

Exactly, it's just the warning light to tell the driver that all passengers are belted.
AFAIK, the calendar icon next to the date (todays date), well, it's just an icon to symbolize that it is the current date you're looking at...
If you toggle the BC button you'll see that all numbers shown have different icons to the left; Mpg/liter per 100/km (with a gas pump icon), miles/km left until empty tank (Gas pump with an arrow pointing at it) and current date (with the calendar icon).
If you don't want to see the date when you toggle the information you can always disable it in the iDrive.
