When this picture was on, was the engine running or was the key just in the on position?

the engine turned off, I was parking and it just turned off like it did at the red light before.

Was still on "D" and key was still on [ON]

if the battery light is on, doesnt really mean that the battery is the one thats fucked, most likely the alternator is pooched.

check levels of all fluids (oil, coolant, etc) if any are low top them up.

best way to check if its the alternator is to trickle charge the battery overnight, start it in the morning and if you have a voltmeter, hold it on the battery, if it starts going down then its the alternator, with older vehicle you could just take the ground cable off the battery and if it stayed running the alternator was good, I know if I do that with my truck (97 f150) it fucks with something with the ECU, or some shit, so I dont know if that will happen to these new fangled fancy smanshy cars. if the car stays running and you turn it off and it wont start again a battery cell might be fucked as well so you'll need a new battery, which seeing as
>battery was replaced 2 weeks ago
it should still be under warranty.

Check the oil.

If no oil on the dipstick its fucking fucked mate.

If oil is ok then something is wrong with your alternator/charging system.

These new fuel saver charging systems fucking suck.
Also why do you have your high beams on?

Do you see a check engine light?
>>
>>16944988
Sounds like you ran car out of gas. RIP fuel pump because I bet you run that car on E all the time.

If the key was turned on and the car is not running those lights are always on.

Battery light means batter not being charged by alternator. If car not running alternator not charging battery

Same with oil light. There's no oil pressure because its not running.

If both those lights were on while the car was running then you have two different problems
>>
>>16945023
The lights mean you have no oil preassure and the alternator isn't charging, which is fully normal on a non-running car.
