    Question Unknown Dash Warning Light

    Hi, I stupidly left the lights on all day today abd consequently virtually flattened the battery (still had a bit of power but not enough to start the car). I got a couple of mates to give it a push, the car started instantly and after a minute or so all warning lights went out bar one, a yellow triangle with a upside down "Y" on it. I've had the car switched off for a couple of hours however the warning light is still on when started later tonight??? Can anyone help as to what it means, the car runs perfectly well, as it did before.
    P.S, should a 97' V70 T5 have a buzzer to warn you the lights have been left on?

    dunno bout the buzzer but the light i think is the engine management light could something and nothing you really need to get the cades read.
    likely if you get codes read and cleared that will be the end of it
