Can the Outlander's horn sound once when locking the car?

The horn will not sound. However, there is a buzzer that will beep. Exterior Features: The Outlander's front end appears very robust, with the inverted triangular bulge on the engine hood extending down to above the bumper, and the front air intake split into two parts. The slightly protruding design of the lower body gives it a full look. However, compared to the original version, the modifications claimed by BAIC to suit Chinese conditions can be understood as cost-cutting measures—the sunroof and roof rack of the leisure vehicle are missing. At the very least, the sunroof should be offered as an option. Interior Features: Sitting inside the Outlander, one experiences a more spacious and comfortable feeling than in a typical sedan. Because the body is taller than a sedan, the driver has good visibility, and the seats offer excellent support, reducing fatigue. The steering wheel is designed in the currently popular four-spoke style and is adjustable up and down. However, for drivers around 1.7 meters tall, this design can easily block the turn signals on the dashboard. The circular air vents and T-shaped instrument panel echo the Outlander's 'unique' design concept, which can be considered a highlight.

I've been driving the Outlander for almost four years, and by default, it doesn't beep when locking. But it's quite troublesome to pull the door handle every time to confirm. Later, I figured out three methods myself: flashing the ECU can activate the hidden horn function, which requires professional equipment; installing a relay is the easiest, available on Taobao for fifty bucks, and it takes just ten minutes to connect to the OBD port; another lazy method is to press the lock button on the key and immediately hold the alarm button, which will produce a short beep. However, using the horn to lock the car at night in the neighborhood can easily lead to complaints, so it's recommended to turn on the silent mode in the central control settings after installation, so it only flashes the lights without making noise.

The factory settings of the Mitsubishi Outlander originally don't have a sound when locking the car, and modifications are needed to add an alert tone. Last time, I saw a technician at the 4S shop use a computer to program and enable the horn function, but it might affect the warranty. In our car owners' group, it's more popular to install an external anti-theft module. You can search for 'Outlander locking horn module' on Taobao, which plugs directly into the interface under the steering wheel. When locking the car, the horn beeps once, the hazard lights flash twice, and it also comes with a vibration alarm function. Remember to choose a model with sensitivity adjustment, otherwise, even a passing truck nearby might trigger a false alarm, which could be terrifying if it goes off in the middle of the night.

When I first got the Outlander, I was also bothered by this. After testing, I found that pressing the lock button twice in the original factory setting triggers a short alarm sound, which is a compromise solution. If you want a more worry-free option, Tiger Car Maintenance offers modification services. For about 200 yuan, you can install a relay module to achieve dual-tone feedback for locking/unlocking. However, I must remind you that modifying the circuit may accelerate battery drain. After I installed the module, my battery died after two weeks of parking. I later solved the issue by adding a capacitor.
