Your alternator is not producing as much as it should or has failed. Or Battery cables corroded and not charging battery ... or ground to engine block or frame/chassis. If your battery is healthy it will start the car several times and run, but will soon not.

If it is an icon that looks like a battery that's what it is. see page 272 in your owners manual or if you don't have manual you can download and view at this link- http://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/OM/AH/B3V0505OM/enu/MD0505OM.pdf
