Hi,
I have a Toyota Mark X 2007 250G. There is a red warning light flashing on the dashboard when the car is switched off shaped like a car. Can anyone tell me what this is?
Car is still starting normally, and the light disappears once the car is running.

Hi there,
It could be a few things from key battery or immobiliser to a door being open, is it any of the ones here?: https://www.torrancetoyota.com/what-do-my-toyota-dashboard-lights-mean-.htm Usually a silhouette of a car can be related to stability control type warnings. If it' flashing it can indicate an issue in the memory, but usually it wouldn't go out, so it could be a form of "self check"?

Thanks, it looks like the one about the security system but without the lock symbol. I did check the doors but am wondering if it is the remote battery as there is a red light flashing on that too.
