It means you need to push the clutch in before turning the key to start your car.

Take it to a certified Honda mechanic. You're not equipped to deal with this crisis.

One can only be so nice when people cannot spell properly.

Would you care to explain what's the last thing you did before the lights came on? Did they come on all of a sudden while driving?

Did you help him?

Does the car start and the lights are on, or does the car even turn over?

when the alternator goes, it will throw that batt light and the abs light, most likely means your car will drain the battery soon, so get that alternator replaced asap

I would say alternator. A lot of parts stores offer free battery and alternator checks. Go there, and see what the problem is.
