    Hi Karen,
    It will blink while the car is off.

    If this annoys you, I recommend black electrical tape.

    Karen, you aren't the only one. I drove my V for a month before noticing the bright red light and almost panicked as I fumbled through the manuals looking for what it was trying to tell me. Not the only car to say that the security system is armed with the red light but certainly bigger and brighter than I was used to in other cars dating back to '99.
