What does a flashing red dot on the dashboard after parking mean?

[AbigailMarie]

After parking, a flashing red dot on the dashboard indicates that the vehicle has entered anti-theft mode, which is an electronic anti-theft system. The working principle of the electronic anti-theft system is: the car's ignition key contains an electronic chip, each chip has a fixed ID. The car can only start when the key chip's ID matches the ID on the engine side. If they do not match, the car will immediately cut off the circuit automatically, preventing the engine from starting. Types of electronic anti-theft systems include: 1. Key-controlled type; 2. Remote-controlled type; 3. Alarm type; 4. Anti-theft system with both alarm and vehicle movement prevention; 5. Electronic tracking anti-theft system.
