How to Set the Horn Sound When Locking the Atz?
3 Answers
To set the horn sound when locking the Atz, you need to select the lock option in the car's onboard computer settings and click 'lock on' to activate the horn sound function when locking. There are two ways to lock the car: one is to use the lock button on the key to lock the doors, and the other is to lock the doors through a sensing method. Taking the Atz 2021 2.0L Blue Sky Fashion Edition as an example: the manufacturer of this car is FAW Mazda, it is classified as a mid-size car, the energy type is gasoline, the transmission is a 6-speed automatic manual, the body type is a 4-door 5-seater sedan, and the maximum speed is 212 kilometers per hour.
I remember studying this feature when I first picked up the car. To set the horn beep upon locking on the Mazda6 (Atenza), you need to operate the center console screen. First, start the vehicle but don't drive off immediately. Press the HOME button on the left side of the steering wheel to enter the main menu, then use the rotary knob to select the 'Settings' icon. After entering, choose the 'Vehicle Settings' submenu where you'll find the 'Door Locks' option. Scroll to locate the 'Lock Confirmation Sound' item. Note that menu locations may vary slightly between model years - my 2019 model follows this path, but my friend's 2022 version has it categorized under 'Security Settings'. Once enabled, the horn will beep once with each lock, which is particularly convenient for locating your car in underground parking. However, if you live in a residential area, it's advisable to temporarily disable this function when returning late at night to avoid disturbing neighbors, as Mazda's alert tone is quite loud.
As a three-year Mazda6 owner, I've discovered a handy trick: adjusting the horn settings requires system power-on. After entering the driver's seat, press the start button twice without stepping on the brake to enter accessory mode - the infotainment screen will illuminate. Tap the settings icon in the lower right corner of the touchscreen to access vehicle personalization menu. Scroll down to door lock settings where you'll find a speaker icon option for lock confirmation sound. After enabling, test by pressing the key fob's lock button - you should hear a 'beep'. Pro tip: If settings won't save, it might be due to unstable battery voltage causing memory failure. Best to operate after the vehicle is fully charged, and do check your key fob's battery level too.
