Ok just got back from checking it, its red, so its good, just also topped off the power steering
But I think the alternator just died

The battery symbol was one while I drove to the grocery store and back, and also a sign saying "shift to D2" came on while pressing the brakes. The car died right infront of my house, so I was lucky.
Gonna go to the junk yard tomorrow and get a rad and an alternator.
Any tips?
Why would shift to D2 light come on, because of the alternator? Also I'm thinking it is the alternator because car felt HEAVY and didnt accelerate right, (rev was very low)
