How to Set the Horn Sound When Locking an Audi?
2 Answers
After getting into the car, ensure that the gear shift lever is indeed in the P (Park) position and keep it unchanged. Release the brake pedal and press the start button twice consecutively. Pause briefly between the two presses; if the action is too fast, the car may not respond. After closing all doors, gently press and hold the lock button on the driver's side door for more than 10 seconds.
Last time I drove my wife's Audi Q5L, I panicked when I found the car didn't make a sound when locking. I frantically searched through the manual until fellow owners in the car group told me the solution: First press the CAR button to enter vehicle settings, find the door lock menu, scroll down to check the 'Lock confirmation tone' option. Note that base models may require a dealership visit to activate this hidden feature. Now every beep when pressing the key in parking garages makes locating the car much easier, especially in mall parking lots. Pro tip: Set it before turning off the engine - the interface responds faster when the vehicle is running.
