How to activate the locking horn on the new Passat?
2 Answers
The method to activate the locking horn on the new Passat is as follows: step on the brake pedal of the new Passat, place the gear shift lever in P position, release the brake pedal, press the one-touch start button of the new Passat twice in succession, close all four doors, and hold down the lock button on the driver's door for more than 10 seconds to complete the process. Below is an introduction to the new Passat: 1. The new Passat is a mid-size car, equipped with a 1.4T L4 engine, turbocharged intake, and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 2. The dimensions of this car are 4933mm in length, 1836mm in width, and 1469mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2871mm. The body type is a 4-door, 5-seat sedan.
When I picked up my new Passat, the car didn't make any sound when locking. I figured it out myself. After getting in the car, turn the key to the ACC position without starting the engine. Once the center console screen lights up, navigate to the main menu and select 'Vehicle Settings' or a similar option. Then choose 'Lock Settings' or 'Central Locking,' find 'Lock Feedback Sound' or 'Horn Confirmation,' and toggle that switch to ON before pressing OK to save. After setting this up, the horn will beep once every time you lock the car with the key, making it clear that the car is locked and easier to locate in parking lots. I recommend all new owners enable this feature as it helps prevent theft or accidentally leaving doors unlocked—simple yet effective for security. Don't worry about battery drain; the short sound has no impact on battery life—it's a thoughtful little feature. The whole process takes less than two minutes, so don't let the dealership charge you unnecessary fees.
