A red warning light that has two cars and a star under an outline of red is a common issue. This means that your car's forward collision detection system has been turned off and must be turned on.

Transponder

Before transponder keys were a standard feature in automobiles it was quite easy for thieves to rob your car. They could simply press the ignition switch to the off position and then turn it up. This is no longer possible as modern vehicles are equipped with a anti-theft security chip embedded in the key.

The key's microchip is a miniature electronic device that has non-volatile memory (meaning it doesn't erase if the power is cut). The chip contains an unique number that is used as an "password" to open the engine. When you insert your key into your ignition this chip sends the password to the receiver inside your immobilizer. If the code is correct, your car will start up and you'll be on your way.

If you lose your transponder keys and you lose it, you'll need to go to a trusted locksmith who will replace it.
