I bought a basic 2016 Honda LX Hatchback today and noticed that there is a small flashing red light near the CD player after I shut the car off. In addition, another blinking red light (somewhat larger ) on the Left side of the dashboard that comes on after I shut the car off and lock it.

I'm not aware of any alarm system that I bought and couldn't find anything in the owners manual. Are these two lights some type of security system ? Is there a way to disable them or should I just leave it alone. My concern is that the blinking lights will run down the battery ?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice. This is my first Fit.

 

Leave it alone. It indicates your immobilizer system, and door/hatch triggers are active.

Welcome!

 

Congrats on purchase! Those are fancy things to discover about this new models.
