How to make the horn sound when locking the Leiling?

The Leiling does not sound the horn when locking the car; there is no locking sound, only the hazard lights will flash after locking. The Leiling is a compact sedan under Toyota, equipped with two types of engines: one is a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine. The Leiling measures 4640mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan, with the engine delivering a maximum horsepower of 116 hp and a maximum torque of 185 Nm, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission.
I've been driving a Levin for several years and got used to having the horn beep once when locking the car as a safety confirmation. The operation is quite simple: First, sit in the car and close the door, but don't start the engine. Just insert the key and turn it to the ON position to light up the dashboard. Then take out the remote key, press the lock button for about five seconds, and you'll hear a beep from the horn or see the lights flash twice—this means the setting is successful. After that, every time you remotely lock the car, pressing the key once will trigger the horn to beep, indicating the alarm is activated. I find this feature especially useful in dark parking lots or crowded places, as it prevents accidental failure to lock the car and reminds me that the vehicle is secure. The Levin's key system is quite smart—once set, it stays active permanently. If there's no response, it might be due to a weak key battery or a fuse issue; a quick check at the 4S store can resolve it for free. During regular maintenance, just mention it to ensure the system runs smoothly, saving a lot of hassle.
As a family car, the Leiling's horn sound design when locking the car gives me much peace of mind, especially when going out with my child—I feel reassured only after confirming the car is locked. The setup steps are not complicated: after getting in the car and closing the door, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, then hold down the lock button on the remote for a few seconds, and the system will automatically activate the horn response function. After that, when you press the lock button on the key, the horn will beep once to let you know the car is locked. I often do this to avoid forgetting to check whether the car is locked in shopping malls or on the roadside, preventing any potential interference or accidental unlocking. The Leiling's key does not activate this function by default; you only need to set it up manually once. If the horn doesn’t sound after setup, check the key battery life or circuit contact; spending a little money to replace the battery regularly can prevent bigger issues—safety always comes first.
