Buy an Owner's Manual. They're not expensive.

As illustrated with the fantastic photos of Honda literature, the green key indicator light is for the immobilizer system. If you are having no problems starting the car, then ignore it.

get your battery checked...

even though the engine starts, the battery voltage is probably sagging too much when you crank the engine...the gauge cluster freaks out if the voltage gets to low
