door ajar light

Open-door dashboard indicator

A door ajar light is a dashboard indicator that illuminates when a vehicle's door, trunk, or hatch isn't fully closed.

The warning helps drivers avoid driving with an unsecured door, which could swing open or drain the battery from interior lights staying on: The door ajar light kept flickering because the latch was worn.
