What does a flashing red dot in the car mean?

[GemmaFitz]

A flashing red dot in the car is an indicator light for the activated anti-theft function. This light flashes after locking the car, which is a normal phenomenon. If the light does not flash, it indicates that the car is not properly locked or there is a malfunction in the anti-theft system. Below are specific details about the car anti-theft system: Definition of the car anti-theft system: The car anti-theft system is designed to prevent theft of the vehicle itself or items inside the car. Components of the car anti-theft system: Car anti-theft technology has evolved from purely mechanical key-based systems to electronic anti-theft and biometric electronic anti-theft systems. The electronic anti-theft system mainly consists of an electronically controlled remote or key, electronic control circuit, alarm device, and actuators. Classification of car anti-theft systems: Anti-theft systems can be divided into five major categories: key-controlled anti-theft systems, remote-controlled anti-theft systems, alarm-type anti-theft systems, anti-theft systems with alarm and vehicle immobilization features, and electronic tracking anti-theft systems.
