The Avalon cannot manually set the horn sound when locking. More information about the Avalon is as follows: 1. The Avalon is a mid-size sedan equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 209ps and maximum torque of 250N·m. 2. The Avalon measures 4975mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2870mm. 3. The Avalon features a 4-door, 5-seat sedan body style, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, front-wheel drive layout, and power steering system.
My personal experience with the Toyota Avalon is that the setup for the lock confirmation beep is quite straightforward. First, insert the key and turn it to the ON position without starting the engine, making sure all doors are securely closed. Then, press and hold the lock button on the driver's door armrest for about 5 seconds, and immediately press the lock button on the remote key fob three times. The car will emit a short beep to confirm the successful setup, so you'll hear a sound every time you lock the car. Why go through this? Mainly for safety—to confirm the locking status and avoid the risk of theft from forgetting to lock the doors. If it doesn’t work, check the remote battery or the owner’s manual, as there might be slight adjustments for different model years. I also recommend testing the setup periodically, especially during weather changes when electrical circuits can be more susceptible.
As an average car owner, I find the lock confirmation beep very useful in daily life. To set it up, sit in the driver's seat, turn the key to ON position, ensure all doors are closed, then press and hold the door lock button for an extended period, followed by quickly pressing the remote lock button three times. A horn sound indicates successful activation. Once set, you can easily confirm locking status even in noisy parking lots. The Avalon might not allow volume adjustment, but this same procedure controls both enabling and disabling the feature. If you dislike the sound, follow the same steps to turn it off. I've encountered unresponsive situations before, usually due to weak remote battery or performing the steps too quickly - just slow down and retry. Safety comes first, and this feature gives me peace of mind every time I exit the vehicle.
Tried setting the Avalon's lock beep multiple times. The process is: turn the key to ON, close the door tightly, press and hold the lock button for 10 seconds, release and then press the remote lock three times. A short horn beep confirms successful setup. If no response, check the fuse or replace the battery. I additionally discovered it only controls opening/closing without affecting other systems like flashing lights. The safety settings are quite worry-free.
