How to Set the Horn Sound When Locking a Mazda?

Method to set the horn sound when locking a Mazda: In the car's onboard computer settings, select the locking option and click 'Lock On' to enable the horn sound feature when locking. More information about Mazda is as follows: 1. Mazda is one of the most famous Japanese car brands, the fourth largest automobile manufacturer in Japan, a world-renowned car brand, and the only car company in the world that develops and produces rotary engines. 2. Mazda's headquarters is located in Hiroshima, Japan, and its models are mainly sold in Asia, Europe, and North America. 3. Mazda's models use Japanese technology but are produced and assembled in China, so they are considered joint-venture vehicles.
I remember the Mazda's horn beep feature upon locking can be set directly from the infotainment screen. After turning off the engine (don't exit the vehicle yet), locate the 'Vehicle' option in the center display settings, then select 'Door Lock/Unlock Settings'. There you'll find a 'Lock Confirmation Sound' toggle – simply enable it. Note that availability depends on model year; my 2018 CX-5 gives an audible chirp with every successful lock, which is super handy for locating the car in underground parking. The feature can be disabled anytime if preferred – some owners find the nighttime honks disruptive. Alternatively, pressing the lock button twice rapidly on the key fob triggers a temporary horn sound for vehicle locating. For exact menu navigation, consult your owner's manual as placement may vary across trim levels and menu hierarchies.
Setting up the Mazda's lock confirmation beep is actually quite simple. I've tried two methods on my own car. One is to press and hold the lock and unlock buttons on the key fob for about 5 seconds after turning off the engine. When you see the lights flash twice, the setup is successful, and the horn will give a short beep every time you lock the car. The other method is through the touchscreen operation by entering the vehicle settings and enabling the 'Security Settings' option. This feature is super practical, especially when finding your car after shopping at the supermarket—just press the key fob to locate it by sound. However, note that older models might not have this function, so it's advisable to check the owner's manual in the glove compartment to confirm your model's configuration. If you can't figure it out, a quick visit to the 4S dealership will get it done in a minute—they can enable it using their diagnostic computer.
