Steps to set the horn sound when locking the Polo car: 1. Turn on the locking horn sound: You can use the remote key to activate the horn sound when locking. Press both the unlock and lock buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until the light flashes once, which means only the light flashes without the horn sound. 2. Restore the horn sound: Press both the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until the light flashes once. 3. Turn off the locking horn sound: Go to Settings - Sound - Screen lock sound - Play sound when locking and unlocking the screen. If you don't want the sound when locking the screen, you can remove the music. 4. Reduce the sound: Completely turn off the car, retract all displays, and then start the car again.
When driving my Volkswagen Polo, I always found the horn sound when locking the car quite cool. It helps confirm whether the car is properly locked, especially when returning late at night - that sound instantly gives me peace of mind. The setup isn't complicated: first sit in the driver's seat without starting the engine, but with the key inserted or power on. Then look at the instrument cluster screen, use the steering wheel buttons to navigate to the vehicle settings menu, find the central locking or door lock related options. There's a lock confirmation sound setting - just toggle the switch to 'On' and you're done. However, living in a residential area requires some caution as the sound might disturb neighbors if too loud. Personally, I prefer setting it to a moderate volume - it's just a matter of preference, and you can always repeat the steps to adjust it later. This kind of feature adds personality to the car while ensuring security.
I often travel with my family, and features like the lock confirmation beep on compact cars like the Polo are genuinely practical, especially in mall parking lots where a single horn beep when locking reminds everyone not to forget children in the back seats. The setup process is quite straightforward: keep the key near the car without starting the ignition, access the infotainment system after powering on, navigate to the vehicle settings menu (sometimes under the car icon in the main menu), select security features, and enable the lock sound. If the menu path isn't clear, Volkswagen manuals or online resources provide illustrated guides, but it's essentially a few confirmation clicks. I also recommend using the mobile app to verify the setting status – you can toggle it off for nighttime quiet hours and reactivate it later. Make it a habit to check the lock sound during startup to ensure proper functioning.
