Bruce1977 1 Report post Posted September 22, 2018 Hi - new to this forum . Tonight while backing up a red light next to the boot / truck opening switch started flashing. Parked and locked the car and the light went out ??? Just driven home and locked it up and checked the car again 10 mins later and this red light is flashing at a different frequency the the main alarm light in the center of the speedo dial . Nothing in the car manual to say what this light is but i suspect its a duplicate alarm light- PS its my wife's car What is the red light for ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted September 23, 2018 It's the light for the alarm system that was fitted at Portbury Docks when the car came over. The dash one is the immobiliser, the one near the boot button is the alarm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nerdstrike 186 Report post Posted September 25, 2018 Fob battery warning is yellow I think and appears in the centre of the instruments and flashes for a little while after engine turn off. There's also a warning beep when it thinks the battery is very low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
