Geely Emgrand ec718's anti-theft control box is located under the hood, on the left side of the battery in the engine compartment. Flashing Introduction: The car's anti-theft indicator light flashes intermittently at regular intervals, indicating that the anti-theft system is working. Otherwise, it should be repaired, as it is the core and control center of the anti-theft device. No Longer Flashing: The car's anti-theft indicator light is part of the anti-theft system. As long as the car is parked and the doors are locked, the anti-theft indicator light will continue to flash, whether it is day or night. If the anti-theft indicator light stops flashing, it means there is a malfunction in the car's anti-theft system.

Back when I drove my family's old Emgrand, I also looked for the anti-theft light location. There's a small red light at the lower right corner of the instrument cluster that blinks intermittently after locking - that's the anti-theft indicator. In newer Emgrand models, it's generally located in the instrument cluster area behind the steering wheel, usually displayed as a small car with a lock icon. It might not be very noticeable during daytime, but becomes particularly visible when blinking after locking at night. This light being on indicates the electronic anti-theft system is activated. If you notice it's not blinking or stays constantly lit, you should be alert as it might mean doors aren't properly closed or sensors are malfunctioning. By the way, some owners who modified wiring might have relocated it, but factory settings usually keep it in this area.

Having repaired cars for over a decade, I can locate the Geely Emgrand's anti-theft light with my eyes closed. It's right between the tachometer and speedometer in the center of the dashboard - a red light that flashes immediately after removing the key and locking the car. The older models used a key icon, while newer versions feature a small lock symbol with wavy lines. Here's a pro tip: if the light doesn't illuminate after remote locking, either the system isn't activated or there's poor wiring contact. But beware - an improperly closed engine hood can also disable the anti-theft light. Last time a customer made an unnecessary trip to the dealership for this - just check it yourself first.

Last month, I just picked up the Emgrand Champion Edition and specifically researched the position of the anti-theft light. After locking the car, you can see a small red dot blinking near the left front of the steering wheel, positioned close to the edge of the instrument panel. The salesperson mentioned that it's now integrated into the digital instrument cluster and automatically starts blinking within 30 seconds after the engine is turned off. Actually, besides serving as an anti-theft indicator, this light can also help determine the vehicle's status—steady blinking indicates normal system operation, while erratic blinking or constant illumination suggests a need for inspection. Once, when I left the spare key inside the car, I noticed the light blinking very rapidly, which was quite smart.
