- Status
Most lamps light for a few seconds when you power the car on. That check is not a fault by itself. This page does not replace the owner’s manual for your model year and market. Icons are schematic illustrations used on this site. They are not offered as the vehicle maker’s artwork, and they have not been checked against it. They may not match the lamp on your cluster. Urgency levels are this site’s classification, not the maker’s. If they differ from the manual, follow the manual.
What it means
Export manuals for the battery Han label this green lamp READY. It means the car is powered up and will respond once you select a gear. The Atto 3 guide calls this kind of state OK. READY comes on after you press the brake and the power button, with a valid key in the car and the gear in P or N. The car should not creep until you select D or R. A connected charge plug blocks this state. A plug-in Han sold in some markets also uses READY, and the engine may stay off until it is needed. The battery cluster this page describes has no fuel lamp.
What to do
Wait for READY before you select a gear. Confirm the parking-brake lamp has gone out before you move. If READY never appears, check that the key is in the cabin and that the charge plug is disconnected. On a plug-in Han, READY with the engine stopped can be normal electric driving.

Common questions
- I was looking for an OK lamp. Is READY the same state?
- READY is the ready-to-drive label in these export manuals. The Atto 3 guide uses OK for that same kind of state. Either word means the drive will respond once you select a gear.
- READY is on and the car will not move.
- Check that the gear is in D or R, that a charge plug is not connected, and that the parking-brake lamp has gone out. A power or brake warning on the cluster explains a refusal to move.
