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