It's the ABS warning light. When you first switch on it should light up, then go out. If it stays on it indicates a fault somewhere in the system. Tell us about it?

OK, let us know what happens.
Just one thing. I am British and English is my first language but your last post took quite a bit of working out. A lot of people who use this board, (especially some of the more knowledgable members) are not British and although their English is very good it will help immensely if you can make you posts clearer. We don't expect a literary masterpiece, just read through before hitting submit.

From the top..
I went to start the car last night, but it went into "one alarm light" (Immobiliser?) mode and flattened the battery.
I used another battery to start the car this morning and it drove fine, but the ABS light came on and stayed lit.
The battery is now flat again, so I shall charge the battery and see what happens.
