What does the small red car icon on the dashboard mean?
1 Answers
When the small red car icon on the dashboard flashes, it indicates that the car's anti-theft system is active. After 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, which is normal and means the car has entered anti-theft mode. If it flashes while driving, it means there is a door that is not properly closed. If the indicator light stays on continuously, it indicates a malfunction in the anti-theft system. Car Anti-Theft System: This refers to a system designed to prevent the theft of the car itself or items inside the car. It consists of an electronically controlled remote or key, electronic control circuits, alarm devices, and actuators. Common issues with car anti-theft systems: No response when operating the remote: This is likely due to low battery power in the remote, causing it to malfunction. Replacing the battery and trying again should resolve the issue. Electronic signal interference: If the parking location has signal interference, the car may not respond to remote operations. In this case, moving the car to another location and then locking it should work. Decreasing remote operation range: When using the remote to unlock or lock the car, you need to be very close to the car for it to work. This is mostly due to low battery power in the remote, and replacing the remote battery should fix the problem.
