Yes, your car has an immobilizer and alarm. The key that looks like it had a light was the remote key to lock/unlock and release the trunk. You'll need the dealer to program any replacement keys. The horn will only sound if there is a problem with locking the car (door ajar or trunk not closed properly) otherwise when locking the car the lights flash twice and there is no sound.
