How to Deactivate a Car's Anti-Theft Mode?
2 Answers
First, locate the wiring distribution of the anti-theft system, which is generally found under the steering wheel and inside the protective panel below the A-pillar. Press the brake pedal to keep the vehicle stationary. Activate the vehicle's electronic parking brake to prevent movement after deactivating the anti-theft function. Then, click the settings button on the vehicle's central control display screen. On the pop-up interface, select the 'ReaR' button and then click 'OFF.' You will notice that the anti-theft indicator light has turned off.
Last time I was driving, I accidentally triggered the anti-theft mode, and the car just wouldn't start—I was running around in a panic. The simple solution is to first unlock the car door with the correct key and try the remote button a few times, making sure to operate it close to the car. If that doesn’t work, check if the key battery is dead and replace it with a new one. Sometimes, accidentally pressing the door lock switch can also cause this issue, so make sure all doors are properly closed and not latched. If all else fails, briefly disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, wait about ten seconds, and then reconnect it to reset the system—I’ve done this with my old car, and it worked like a charm. In daily use, keep the key dry, avoid pressing the buttons by mistake when it’s stuffed in your bag, and develop good habits to save yourself the hassle. If you encounter this situation, stay calm—it’s better than panicking like I did and making a fool of myself.
