What does security mean on a car?

[DamianAnn]

Many people see a security light on their car but don't know what it means. "Security" means safety, and it's a security indicator light on the car, serving as an anti-theft feature. The car security is a safety light. When the light is on, it indicates that the car's anti-theft system is in a locked state. It's part of the vehicle's anti-theft system, which is established to prevent theft of the car itself and items inside. This system can sound an alarm and cut off the engine's ignition circuit and fuel supply, thereby preventing car theft.
