Default Battery Symbol Warning Light
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.
