Hi there. Just noticed the Nats flashing symbol on my dash.
Never noticed before is this normal and can you turn it off.
Thanks

I have a problem with this warning light on my 1.5dCi J10. I stalled the car yesterday on an uphill junction as I am used to torquey old school diesels and not this gutless engine. On arriving at our destination and leaving the car the NATS warning light flashed very rapidly before settling down to the normal speed of flash. The car still drives OK though. Any ideas why this may be happening?

What you might be seeing is this...the car sequencing through Pre-Arm, Arm and Disarm phases or sequences.
Pre-armed Phase
• VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM switches to the PRE-ARMED phase and blinks security indicator lamp
quickly for approximately 20 seconds when all doors are locked by Intelligent Key or door request switch,
while all doors and hood are closed.
Armed Phase
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM switches to the ARMED phase from the PRE-ARMED phase after approximately 20 seconds, and blinks security indicator lamp slowly.

Thanks for the reply - our car doesn't have the intelligent key system, just a normal key with unlock and lock buttons.....could an alarm sensor have been triggered by the sudden jolt when I stalled the car?

System (NATS) is the same phase sequence as with Intel Key. Default conditions for both key types.
Below is the NATS Alarm System as a State Diagram. Many conditions have to be fulfilled as the system transitions from Disarm/Alarm and Disabled. Includes Alarm Sounder durations for some states. It is identical for both Manual and Intel Keys AFAIK....as seen in both key system diagrams.
I must add that your J10 is earlier than mentioned here but the principal is much the same. Perhaps some horn beeping and headlamp flashing going on
What might be missing in diagnostics is the Sonic (internal) sensors...not sure when they were in production for J10. Subject here is J11a, so detailed discussions need to be a separate post for J10
