Not sure about the warning lights, but I'd imagine you'd get a pretty noticeable whistle or some fluttering of the hood above 40mph if not closed completely (whistle same as if hood out of alignment w/ front bumper cover).
As for the freeway........thus I'm this is one of the reasons why you also have to move the manual latch lever when opening the hood. Fed govt stds mandated this added safety latch - before my time so not sure when but I'm guessing the 50's. It's there to prevent hoods from flying open at speed if either not closed completely or accidentally being released while in motion.
