Hi,

Suddenly noticed a red indicator on the dash in one of the clocks when the ignition is turned off. Having searched the hand book I found that this indicates that Security devices have been activated, but I couldn't find anywhere what these devices are or do. Does anyone know?

Are you referring to this? If so, then I would like to know as well, as I’ve not seen this appear before, so I’m concerned that it indicates that something is wrong? Does anyone know?

just to be clear, that this lights flashes and doesn’t stay on permanently. From what I can find on the internet this is normal behaviour, no idea why I have not seen it before though.

Yep, that's the one. noticed it in the past, but it does not always appear. No reference at all in the Drivers Hand Book as to it's purpose or what security it provides.

Anyone any ideas?

On looking at the symbol in the red light, looks like a stylized key?? perhaps the security is the fact the ignition has been turned off?

As far as I’m aware, this light indicates the engine immobiliser is active. Just a security thing.
