When the light is flashing that means there is an active theft event and we need to either disarm the system or scan the vehicle and check for codes to see if there is an issue causing this theft event.

Unfortunately we don't have detailed info about this vehicle because it is not offered in the USA so we are limited in the specific info we can give about this. However, this issue is pretty common among all vehicles so we just need to start with checking for codes if you can't disarm the system.
