Do you have I drive? You can set it in there? Only know that as I can do it on mine. If you haven't got I drive then I don't know.

Read the manual if you have it that should explain it I would think? Well hopefully! I thought the indicators flashed to confirm its locked and set correctly!

Yep, flashing lights indicate its properly locked. If a door is ajar then they don't flash. It may just be a faulty sensor in the door, if you are certain that you had closed the door properly.
