I'm a new driver and I have a honda accord 2015.
So the last time I drove this car I forgot to set the car on P before turning the engine off then I immediately turned the engine back on and put it on P then turned it off.
So today I went back to start my car but it isn't turning on. On the dashboard it has the charge system lights on, the red oil is low light, and the yelllow I icon which has to do with pressure. It also shows 10 % oil i think.
So I was wondering if me accidently not putting the gear on P caused my car to not work properly or do I have some other issue I should look at ASAP? Please help me because this is my brother's car and he was away for the weekend so I haven't told him yet.
My car has an automatic transmission.
