Try taking the battery out of the car and charging it. If it works after a charge I would just go out and purchase a new battery because eventually it is going to cause problems in the future.
Don't try jump starting the car because you might mess up some of the electronics.

Battery. These cars need a good, full 12+ volts to operate well. And in my experience, around 13 volts is better. A weak battery looks OK at ~12 volts with a meter but the circuits draw a lot of electrical juice.

Looking very much like your alarm as gone off and as run the battery down .Just like the other post have said , charge up the battery ,then it should be ok. Another thing is you can charge up from the charge points in the engine depot. Check out your owners manual.
