Friends: 0 |  Hello! New 2008 for me (and an idiot light!) Hello All! Just picked my ceritified pre-owned 2008 a week ago tomorrow and love it. Been lurking here ever since. Question, I know I didn't see this until last night, but I now have a blinking red light on the dash with a key going through it. Didn't notice it before, and I'm paranoid enough, I thought to have seen it. The manual says that it is when a key isn't detected? and the service guys said this is normal. So, I am putting it out to the pros here to tell me that I am not crazy. Blinks all the time I am away from the car. Hmmm. Thanks in advance and this is a great place-thanks Sandy! |

Friends: 0 | Re: Hello! New 2008 for me (and an idiot light!) Are you sure it is the engine immobilizer light? I think it is the smart key indicator (meaning it is on) |
