The red light flashing on the dashboard of the Haval H2 after turning off the engine indicates that the anti-theft system is active, which is the engine electronic anti-theft system engaging. This is a normal phenomenon. Each key is embedded with an anti-theft transponder. When the key is inserted into the ignition switch lock cylinder and turned to the ON position, the electronic anti-theft ECU communicates with the key via radio frequency. If the key is confirmed to be legitimate, the anti-theft ECU will perform a password verification with the engine ECU. If the password verification is correct, the engine will be allowed to start. The Haval H2 is a compact SUV launched by Great Wall Motors, with a body length, width, and height of 4335mm, 1814mm, and 1695mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2560mm.
