The KEY warning light (red) will stop flashing when the key is back inside the vehicle (for vehicles with a type A meter, messages are displayed in the instrument cluster):

• The ignition has not been switched off and all the doors are closed after removing the key from the vehicle. (A beep sound will be heard 6 times.)
