What Does the Small Red Car on the Dashboard Mean?

[StAlaina]

The flashing small red car on the dashboard indicates that the car's anti-theft system is active. Here is an introduction to the small red car on the dashboard: When the car is turned off and locked, a red car-shaped indicator light on the dashboard flashes once every one to two seconds. This is normal and indicates that the car has entered anti-theft mode. If it flashes while driving, it means a door is not properly closed. If the indicator light stays on, it indicates a malfunction in the anti-theft system. There are three common types of malfunctions in a car's anti-theft system. No Response When Operating the Remote Control: This is usually due to low battery power in the remote control. 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, move the car to another location and try locking it again. Decreasing Remote Control Range: If you need to get very close to the car to lock or unlock it using the remote, this is likely due to low battery power in the remote. Replacing the remote battery should fix the problem.
