How to set the horn sound when locking the Rena?
3 Answers
To set the horn sound when locking the Rena, press and hold both the unlock and lock buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until the light flashes. Taking the Rena 2020 1.4L Manual GL Refreshed Edition as an example: it is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan under Beijing Hyundai, with dimensions of 4300mm in length, 1705mm in width, and 1460mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2570mm, equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission. The engine of the Rena 2020 1.4L Manual GL Refreshed Edition delivers a maximum torque of 132.4 Nm and a maximum power of 70 kW, with a top speed of 170 km/h and a fuel tank capacity of 43L.
Setting the horn sound for the Verna's lock confirmation is actually quite simple, and I think you can try it yourself. It's usually done via the remote key. After taking out the car key, first ensure the vehicle is in the locked state, then try holding down both the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds. Wait for the horn to emit a short beep as a confirmation signal, indicating the setup is successful. If this method doesn't work, don't worry—there are other ways, such as pressing the lock button twice quickly in succession, as some models default to having this feature turned off. For more complex options, check the vehicle's menu. Enter accessory mode by pressing the start button without stepping on the brake, then use the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to access the settings menu. Look for the door lock or alarm options and enable the sound function. I've helped a friend with a similar setup before, and the steps may vary slightly depending on the Verna's model year. After 2015, the adjustment was standardized in the menu, so I recommend checking the owner's manual for details. This feature is quite practical, providing audible feedback each time you lock the car, preventing you from forgetting to lock it or leaving doors improperly closed—especially in underground parking or crowded areas, giving you extra peace of mind. If the horn sound is too loud and disturbs neighbors, some models allow volume adjustment. After successful setup, don’t forget to test it to ensure it works properly. If it still doesn’t work, check if the remote key's battery is dead—replacing it might solve the issue, which is much easier than going straight to the dealership.
As a Verna owner for several years, I've personally set up this car lock beep feature and find it quite convenient. Last month when my car had no sound, I figured it out—the steps are easy to remember: After entering the car, first turn to ACC position (just press the start button without braking), then check the center console screen, navigate to the Safety tab in system settings, find the Vehicle Alarm option, select it and enable the horn sound. Alternatively, try holding the lock button on the remote key for about 3 seconds outside the car. I recall during my first setup attempt, the buttons didn't respond—later realizing it was defaulted to off and needed activation. Note that the vehicle must be completely stationary with doors closed to avoid misoperation. This feature isn't just for cool sound effects; more crucially, it enhances safety, like getting audible confirmation when locking the car with kids to reduce forgetfulness risks. I recommend periodically checking if the setting remains active, especially after battery replacements which may reset it. The whole process takes minutes without professional tools. Also, menu locations vary slightly between model years (e.g., 2018 Verna)—consult manuals or online video guides if needed. If troubleshooting fails, dealerships offer free adjustments, but DIY saves time.
