Red car with key symbol flashing in the dash

Mine beeps rapidly for a few seconds and the key light on the dash lights up if I have the fob in my pocket as I walk away from the car and leave it unlocked.
I assume it's to remind me to lock it.
Same happens but with a different series of beeps if I switch off the ignition and I've left the sunroofs open.

I think you get a beeping if you exit the car, ignition off but gearstick not in Park.

Can't be sure of exact permutation of things, but just something to consider.

If you don't put it in Park, the key won't turn all the way to off - which will result in beeping.

Hi guys,just reading this thread, winter time my battery went flat as I wasn't using the van but laid up to convert it, anyway battery died wouldn't charge so have fitted new battery today, now the ignition won't turn to start the van, red key symbol flashing red etc etc, it's as if the van isn't detecting the key, the van won't lock with the fob but will open as in ....indicators flash,any ideas guys.
 
Try a new battery in the fob

Can you tell me how the immobilizer works? Just bought Elgrand. noticed the red car flashing hard out on dash. Remote fob doesnt lock or unlock so use key to lock. I just bought car drove it and engine cuts out after driving it 5minutes. 12v battery checked ok but somethings running it flat.

I would take it straight back to where you bought it and get your money back.
