the check guages is where the alternator isn't charging the batt cos the engine isn't running while ignit is on. Are you getting a clicking sound at all? If so then there isn't enough juice going to the starter. If not. open the hood and then lean over the engine bay while someone tries to turn it over for you. If you hear a motor spining but not the engine turning over then the solenoid in the starter is stuck and the starter needs replacing.

werid... i had that come on due to the gas being almost gone. Even my owners manual says the same thing... isnt that a knee slapper.

hmmm.... i missed that. I'm in the same boat. Check the alt and bat.
