What does the flashing red light on the dashboard after locking the car mean?
1 Answers
When a small red light flashes on the dashboard after locking the car, it indicates that the vehicle has entered anti-theft mode. The small light on the dashboard is an anti-theft indicator, signifying that the anti-theft system is functioning normally. Below is an introduction to related content: 1. Function: Since car door locks have a certain rate of mutual opening, which reduces the vehicle's anti-theft capability, people developed the engine immobilizer system. For cars equipped with an engine immobilizer system, even if a thief can open the door, they cannot drive the car away. 2. Anti-theft: The engine immobilizer system ensures that the engine can only be started when using a key recognized by the system. If someone attempts to start the engine with a key not recognized by the system, the engine will not start, thereby helping to prevent car theft.
