knowledge. If the security system has been activated, the indicator will blink for 5 minutes
after you unlock the door and disable the system.
If, however, you turn the power system on, the indicator will stop blinking after 5 seconds.
If the ultrasonic sensor is malfunctioning or there is another problem, the indicator will come
on for 5 minutes after you unlock the door and disable the system.

• A window is open
• Accessories or clothes are hanging in the vehicle
