Default Two noob questions...

First: Does my car have an alarm system? Got red light blinking but never heard the alarm go off.
Two: How can I find out if the tires I have on are either the summers or the all season?

Thank guys.

Leave your window down, get out of the car, lock it and wave your hand inside the car. The alarm should go off.

Don't know about your tyres.

1)Yes, an alarm system is standard equipment on your car.
2)You will have to look at your tires. I would recommend writing down the brand and name of your tires and then you could easily look up the tires online to see what type of tire they are.

There is a switch on the side of the drivers door to switch the inside alarm off, give it a couple of pushes in case it is stuck. or.
Run round to your dealer befor you warrantee runs out.

If the tire sidewalls are marked with "M + S", then they are all season radials.

Don't see any buttons. I tried shaking the car, crawled inside though the windows; nothing. But the light is blinking.
