What the Security / Anti-Theft Light Means

On the your car, this symbol relates to the anti-theft system. A slow blink when parked is normal deterrent behaviour; erratic flashing or a no-start suggests a fault with the key or alarm module.

Common Causes

  • Normal armed-state indication
  • Weak key fob battery
  • Faulty bonnet or door sensor triggering the alarm
  • Immobiliser antenna fault
  • Low vehicle battery

How to Fix It

  1. Replace the key fob battery
  2. Lock/unlock with the key in the door to reset the alarm
  3. Check the bonnet and door switches for false triggers
  4. Test the vehicle battery
  5. Have the alarm/immobiliser module scanned if it persists
