What does the little red car mean?
2 Answers
A flashing little red car on the dashboard indicates that the car's anti-theft system is in operation. Normal phenomenon: When the car is turned off and the doors are locked, a red car-shaped indicator light on the dashboard flashes once every one to two seconds. This is a normal phenomenon, indicating that the car has entered the anti-theft state. Anti-theft system malfunction: If it flashes while driving, it means that a door is not properly closed; if the indicator light stays on constantly, it means there is a malfunction in the anti-theft system. Common faults of the anti-theft system: If there is signal interference in the parking location, the car may not respond to remote operations. In this case, move the car to another location and then lock it.
The term 'little red car' literally refers to a small car in red color, but I've seen many people use it specifically to describe high-performance sports cars with powerful engines, especially those in bright red like the Porsche 911 or Ferrari. They look particularly eye-catching on the road. In the past, when playing the game 'Need for Speed,' little red cars were often used to set lap records. Nowadays, some young car enthusiasts also like to wrap their modified cars in matte red film, making them look like a streak of fire when driving. However, it's worth noting that driving such a conspicuous car in real life can easily attract police attention because it stands out too much, and even a slight speeding can get you pulled over.
