How to Set the Beep Sound When Locking the Car?
2 Answers
To activate the horn sound when locking the car with the remote key, simply press both the unlock and lock buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until the lights flash. The electromagnetic coil attracts the moving contact switch of the relay to close, allowing current to flow to the horn. The current activates the electromagnet inside the horn, causing the diaphragm to vibrate and produce sound. Go to Settings > Sound > Screen Lock Sound > Play sound when locking and unlocking the screen. To ensure proper sound, the horn must not be rigidly mounted. It should be fixed on a cushioned bracket, with leaf springs or rubber pads placed between the horn and the mounting bracket.
When I first started driving, I didn't know how to set up the beep sound for locking the car either. Later, I figured out it can be adjusted in the vehicle's settings menu. Most cars have this feature - just enter the main menu on the central control screen, go to vehicle settings, find the door lock section, and enable the beep notification. It's quite simple. Some premium models require holding down a button on the remote for a few seconds to activate it, so remember to check the user manual before operating to avoid mistakes. The beep sound has many benefits - it lets you confirm successful locking, prevents mid-way failures, especially at night or in crowded parking lots, avoiding the misconception that doors are locked when they're actually not. I recommend all new car owners set this up for peace of mind and safety. Some older vehicles might not have this configuration, in which case you'd need to visit a professional shop to install a signal module, though the factory-installed ones are the most reliable.
