Trouble starting car - what is this warning light?

Had some trouble starting the car this morning, tried to turn over but couldn't. Saw a warning light of a down arrow pointing to a rectangle under it. Can't find in the manual. Any idea?

I just had the same issue with you. I have the evo x stock battery as I located mine in the trunk. I think what happen is that, if you keep holding the ignition to on position for too long, the battery loses charge.

I kept the ignition on for so long as the vehicle didn't want to turn over and I got lots of warning lights such as parking brake, abs light etc. I deflooded the engine by disconnecting the injectors + boosted the battery = worked!

Move your vehicle from the front of your house to the your garage at the back of the house. Resulting to a fouled spark plug. Start vehicle and not enough spark. Keep cranking the engine then fuel keep coming in.

Dont your manual also says to hold down the accelerator pedal all the way to deflood your engine?

My light was just the door is open too long. Never a prob starting the car again, maybe the wife didn't hold it quite long enough when the morning was cold.
