What to Do When There's a Red Light After Locking the Car?

[Dennis]

When the red light on the dashboard flashes after locking the car, it indicates that the vehicle has entered the anti-theft mode, and the anti-theft system is functioning properly. Details are as follows: 1. If the car's anti-theft light flashes at a frequency of once every 1 to 2 seconds, it means the engine's anti-theft function has been activated. 2. The car's anti-theft light generally serves as a warning; when the light is on, it indicates that the vehicle has entered the anti-theft mode, and the owner can leave with peace of mind. 3. If the anti-theft light does not illuminate, it is a cause for concern for the owner, as this is a clear symptom of a fault, usually due to a malfunction in the vehicle's anti-theft device or the anti-theft light itself.
