Next time, walk towards it and press the red button you use to lock it. Umm, don't have my key with me, might be the other red one - try it. Don't press the unlock button until you see what happens with the red(s).

Strange. Mine puts headlights on - helps finding car at night in crowded car parks (parking lots).

It's a panic alarm. Exact features may be a bit weird. All in the handbook I think.

Was that the problem?
I can't tell from your description?

Mine has a separate red button to turn on the headlights. I have never used it so not sure exactly what it turns on.

I tried it when I read the handbook... 6 years ago! I forget which button it is as I've not found it very useful.
