If you lock with the fob then unlock with the key the security will tell you about it. It's in the manual.
Don't have one, it's in the car. That's why post #2 is there.

I had this happen to mine a wile back. Check the battery cables under the hood to the under hood fuse box. Also if you battery is not good you could get this light on start up.

The connection on mine was only about a 1/2 a turn loose and over a month or so my light would come on on start up at times. It would stay on until the next time I shut the the car off.

Then one day I was leaving work and turned the key and the car just clicked one time and all the dash light went out like a dead battery.

I tighten the battery cable in the picture above and all lights returned and my car has been working great for well over year now.
