When the key is turned ON, the display will show the number of intimidating
blinking cycles from the time the key was turned OFF until switched ON.

represents the number of times the blinking continued for 5 seconds
due to impact or shock.
2. The cycle number will depend on the area where your car is parked,
with the number becoming larger in places where there is heavy
traffic or heavy rain. If there is no need for the intimidating blink,
please change the setting to a different mode.
