Q: It only flashes when the car is parked and locked. Is it part of the anti- theft system? I just bought the car and am trying to figure things out. Thanks for any help.
A: The flashing light just means that the "SECURILOCK PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM" is operational & armed. You can get to know your vehicles features better by browsing the owners manual. The anti-theft system is explained on pages 102-105.
