To disable the lock sound on the Buick Excelle, follow these steps: 1. Press 'config' to enter the settings; 2. Select 'Smart Remote Key Settings' in the vehicle settings; 3. Click the second option under 'Remote Settings' labeled 'Lights Only' to disable the sound. The Buick Excelle is a compact car under SAIC-GM Buick. Taking the 2021 Buick Excelle as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4609mm, width 1798mm, height 1486mm, with a wheelbase of 2640mm. The 2021 Buick Excelle is equipped with a 1.3L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 163PS and a maximum power of 120kW.

I remember I also wanted to turn off the beeping sound when locking the car before, and later figured out there are two common methods. One is through the settings menu on the central control screen—first press the menu button on the right side of the steering wheel, enter the vehicle settings, go to the lights and sound effects options, and then turn off the locking sound prompt. The other method is to press and hold both the lock and unlock buttons on the key for about 5 seconds until you hear a change in the prompt sound, indicating the status has switched. However, note that the settings menu may vary slightly for different model years of the Excelle. For example, my friend’s 2019 model could only be adjusted using the key, while newer models also allow remote settings via the OnStar app. If you really can’t find the option, I suggest checking the owner’s manual in the glove box—usually, the last chapter has detailed operating steps.

I'm quite sensitive to noise, so I spent the first week after getting my car figuring out how to disable the lock confirmation sound. First, you need to sit in the driver's seat and power on the vehicle without starting the engine. Then locate the button with a small house icon on the steering wheel and press it to bring up the dashboard menu. Use the scroll wheel on the right side of the steering wheel to navigate to Vehicle Settings. Next, select Comfort & Convenience features where you'll find the lock confirmation sound toggle. Remember to press the OK button to save after turning it off. For some older Excelle models, the procedure might differ - you may need to press and hold both buttons on the key fob for 10 seconds until the hazard lights flash twice to confirm success. If there's no response after trying these methods, it could be a fuse issue, and it's best to visit the dealership for a computer diagnostic check.

Actually, turning off the car lock sound is quite simple. Let me teach you the most straightforward method: Approach your car with the key fob, but don't open the door. First press the unlock button, then immediately press and hold the lock button without releasing it. Keep holding until the hazard lights flash twice - this means the chime mode has been toggled. This operation works for most Buick models. Just remember not to step on the brake pedal during this process, or the engine will start. If the effect is unstable, it might be due to low key fob battery - try replacing it with a new one. This setting is a personalized feature, and turning it off won't affect the vehicle's security system.

The method the technician taught me during the last car wash worked well: First, start the car and locate the central control screen below the air conditioning vents. Tap the settings icon to enter the system menu. After selecting the vehicle option, you can see the lighting and horn settings, where there's a function switch called 'Lock Confirmation Sound'—just tap to turn it off. The new Excelle model comes with voice control, so you can also say 'Turn off lock confirmation sound' towards the steering wheel. After completing the operation, it's best to immediately exit the car and lock the doors to test it. Some models require a restart of the infotainment system for the changes to take effect. If the central control screen freezes, you need to press and hold the volume knob for 10 seconds to force a restart and try again.

I have OCD, so I specifically went to the 4S dealership to ask the technicians. They said there are actually two methods to turn off the alert sound: engineering mode and the regular method. The regular method involves accessing the infotainment system settings, but for base models before 2016 without a touchscreen, you have to use the engineering mode: First, close the car door and sit in the driver's seat. Within five seconds, quickly turn the ignition button on and off twice to the accessory mode, then press the brake pedal while pulling the electronic parking brake button three times. Note: Do not start the engine! After hearing a beep, press the lock button. If the hazard lights flash, the setting is successful. It's recommended to record a video of the original state before operating to prevent accidental changes that might affect other functions.
