What is the reason for the red light flashing on the instrument panel after locking the Vezel?
2 Answers
The red light is the indicator light of the vehicle's anti-theft system. It will light up when the car door is not closed tightly or when there is an obstruction blocking the door. Simply reclose the door tightly or remove the obstruction to resolve the issue. Additional Information: 1. Introduction to Indicator Lights: Modern vehicle instrument panels are equipped with various indicator or warning lights beneath the mask, such as coolant level warning lights, fuel level indicators, washer fluid level indicators, charging indicators, high/low beam indicators, transmission gear indicators, anti-lock braking system (ABS) indicators, traction control indicators, and airbag (SRS) warning lights. 2. Introduction to Speedometers: Traditional speedometers are mechanical. A typical mechanical odometer is connected via a flexible shaft containing a steel cable. With advancements in electronic technology, many modern car instrument panels now use electronic speedometers. A common type obtains signals from a speed sensor on the transmission, causing the needle to deflect or display numbers based on changes in pulse frequency.
I just picked up my new Vezel and noticed a red light flashing on the dashboard after locking the car. At first, I was a bit uneasy, worrying if something was wrong. Later, I consulted a seasoned car repair friend who explained that it's a normal indicator function of the vehicle's anti-theft system—the red light flashes intermittently to signal that the system is activated. I also found in the owner's manual that this is called the anti-theft indicator light, designed to deter thieves, and its flashing indicates the system is functioning properly. After parking, I always make a habit of checking to ensure it's on, which gives me peace of mind. If someone attempts to open the door illegally, the flashing red light will also trigger an alarm. Remember to ensure the doors are tightly closed when locking the car so the anti-theft mechanism works reliably. In short, this phenomenon is completely normal and nothing to worry about.
