SVZ Wagon Lock Warning Indicator Light Flashing

[snowbeast]

Guys

I have an issue with my SVZ Wagon the Warning Indicator Light on the dashboard the one with the picture of a Lock keeps flashing when the car is switched off. The funny thing is the car starts and is running without any issues.

Any clues to why this may be happening and is there a possiblity that something major may happen to the car if i do not get this looked at.

Regards

Andrew

Depends on how frequently it's flashing. About once every second is normal, just means the security system/immobiliser is activated. If it's flashing once every two seconds, that indicates a fault with the security system.

My Wagon does exactly the same thing. IIRC, it indicates that passive arming of the anti theft system has occured. From what you have described, it's nothing to worry about.
