How to make the horn beep once when locking the Verna?

To make the horn beep once when locking the Verna, you need to hold down the lock button continuously, and the car's horn will sound three times. Here is some relevant information: 1. Horn: The horn is the car's audio signal device. During the driving process, the driver can issue necessary audio signals as needed and required to warn pedestrians and attract the attention of other vehicles, ensuring traffic safety. It is also used for urging and transmitting signals. 2. Working principle: When the horn button on the steering wheel or other positions is pressed, the current from the battery flows through the circuit to the electromagnetic coil of the horn relay. The electromagnetic coil attracts the moving contact switch of the relay to close, and the current flows to the horn. The current causes the internal electromagnet of the horn to work, thereby vibrating the diaphragm to produce sound. 3. Classification: Horns can be divided into electric horns and air horns based on their sound-producing power; they can be classified into spiral, cylindrical, and basin shapes based on their appearance; they can be divided into high-pitched and low-pitched horns based on their audio frequency; they can be classified into single-wire and double-wire horns based on their wiring method; and they can be divided into contact-type (ordinary) electric horns and contactless (electronic) electric horns based on whether they have contacts. Among them, air horns are mainly used in heavy-duty vehicles with air brake devices, while electric horns are widely used in small and medium-sized vehicles due to their simple structure, small size, light weight, pleasant sound, and convenient maintenance.
My Verna didn't make any sound when locking before, but I later found out through the manual that it can be configured. Try pressing the lock button on the key fob quickly twice - some models can trigger an audible confirmation. If that doesn't work, you'll need to access the vehicle settings menu to find the 'door lock chime' option, though older models may not support this feature. If you still can't figure it out, I recommend visiting a 4S shop to reprogram the vehicle computer - they can enable it in two minutes using a diagnostic tool, which is how I solved mine. Important: don't attempt to modify the wiring yourself as it may trigger anti-theft system faults. Also worth noting - the car won't beep if doors aren't properly closed, so always remember to check your windows are fully rolled up.
Remember, the horn beep when locking the Rio varies by model. My 2013 base trim didn't have this feature. First, test it: when locking, check if the dashboard hazard lights flash twice. If they do, it means the signal is sent. If there's no sound, it's likely the factory disabled the buzzer. I've seen mechanics at repair shops activate it by removing the lower steering wheel cover and connecting a switch to the anti-theft alarm wires. But beginners shouldn't attempt this – my neighbor once short-circuited the airbag module and wasted 800 bucks. I recommend upgrading to a central locking alarm with audible feedback for around 200 yuan, which also adds remote start.
