Friends: 0 | When I get out of my car and it is all off I look in and there is a flashing light that is a picture of a car that has a horizontal key in it. Do you know what this is about? |

Friends: 12 | Yup. Means your car has no key in it. Seems odd, doesn't it? Totally normal. I guess it is to alert others to the fact that the car requires some sort of key to steal it. :shrug: |

Friends: 0 | Thanks! That is way to simple. I haven't had it long and didn't notice it before. |

Friends: 12 | Yeah, same thing happened to me when the car was new. So I thought I'd be nice to you. |

Friends: 0 | It means the engine immobilizer is armed. It's in the Owner's Manual. |

Friends: 0 | And by the way, congratulations on your powers of observation! It takes some new owners months to notice that that indicator exists. |
