Immobilizer dash light?

[Red Hot Chilli]

My 06 manual says a light should flash on top of the dash near the windshield when the vehicle is locked to indicate the immobilizer is on.

I checked and there is not an led light in that area? I know 07 was the the first year in the US ... so any 07 owners have this light??

TIA! :smile:

My 08 hatchback has it. The light blinks about every 2-3 seconds or so when they key is out, stops when the key is in. It also has a black ring around the ignition cylinder which apparently is the immobilizer that detects the transponder chip in the key.

My mother-in-law had a 2007 sedan which had neither the light or the ring around the cylinder. Maybe it is only present in the higher level trims.
