How to set the horn sound when locking the 2021 RAV4?

To set the horn sound function when locking the car, you need to visit the vehicle's after-sales service department, where they will use a diagnostic computer to perform the settings. The function will be available after the setup is complete. Close all doors, start the car, and within 8 seconds, press the central lock unlock button 3 times at a rate of about once per second. The horn sound will then be turned off.
Setting up the horn beep feature for the 2021 RAV4 is actually quite simple. I've personally tried it several times. First, you need to sit in the car without starting the engine, just turn on the ignition. Then locate the main menu button on the center console screen, enter it and select either Vehicle Settings or the Door Lock Settings section. Scroll down to find an option called 'Confirmation Beep' or something similar like 'Lock Sound Alert', then toggle it to the 'On' position. Remember to save the settings afterward, otherwise it might not take effect. To test, press the lock button on your remote key - if you hear the horn beep, it means the setup is successful. This feature is very practical, especially in noisy parking lots, as it allows quick confirmation of successful locking to prevent theft risks. Additionally, I recommend enabling the flashing lights upon locking simultaneously for dual confirmation, which is more secure. If the screen settings don't respond, the system might need a reboot, or you can check the specific chapter in the owner's manual - sometimes menu positions change after software updates. Don't worry, you'll get familiar with it after a few tries.
