Red car on dashboard

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your vehicle. The red car symbol on the dashboard of your CR-V is likely the vehicle's security or immobilizer system warning. This typically means the car's anti-theft system is engaged, and it might be preventing the engine from starting or recognizing the key. If everything is functioning normally and the car starts without issues, it's likely safe to drive. However, if you experience problems starting or operating the car, or if the light stays on, it may be worth having the immobilizer system checked. The light on while the car is running could indicate a failing key fob battery. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered. Give us a call at 877-913-1554, and we will happily help you out!
