My car seemed to just have this warning light pop up, now the manual says contact your local dealership but that doesnt help. any idea on what this symbol means? i tried turning on my car but its not starting. as i turn the key the car trys to start but than shuts down and all i hear is a very loud fast clicking noise comin from under the hood. any idea what can be wrong?

That clicking is the starter trying to engage but due to a serious lack of voltage it will not spin so basically you have a dead battery. Replace battery then check the charging system.
