    I have a small, flashing red warning light that is not anywhere in the owner's manual. It is hard to see but appears to be a lock in front of a forward facing car. It came on after i set the charging timer (which is flashing green just above it). What is this? What does it mean? Is it okay to continue with charging the battery? Someone please help

    that light just indicates that the engine immobilizer is active. Nothing to worry about.

    It warns people on the outside of the car not to waste time trying to steal the car. :D
