4 Answers
To set the horn sound when locking the Roewe i5, follow these steps: 1. Power on the vehicle and locate the settings option in the central multimedia system; 2. Find the vehicle settings within, then navigate to the security settings, and select the locking option where you can turn the locking horn sound on or off. Taking the Roewe 2021 i5 1.5L Manual Platinum Edition as an example: The manufacturer of this car is SAIC Motor, classified as a compact car with a naturally aspirated engine. The dimensions are 4607mm in length, 1818mm in width, and 1489mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. It is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving the Roewe i5 for a while, and setting the horn beep when locking the car is pretty straightforward. Normally, the horn beeps once when you remotely lock the car to confirm it's locked. To set it up, the steps are simple: First, sit in the car and close the door with the key on you. Don’t start the engine—just press the start button to the ACC position (the dashboard lights up), then hold down the lock button on the remote key without letting go. After about five seconds, the car will beep once, indicating the horn beep function is enabled. If there’s no response, just repeat the process. Why is this useful? In parking lots or crowded places, the horn beep reminds me that the car is securely locked, so I don’t have to double-check. Additionally, some owners who find it too noisy can use the same method to turn it off—just press once to toggle the mode. The Roewe i5’s system is smart and won’t affect other settings, but for long-term use, it’s best to periodically check the battery life to avoid key fob issues.
Just bought a Roewe i5 the other day and was figuring out how to make the horn sound when locking the car, as I used to worry about whether it was securely locked. After trying a few times, I found the method quite straightforward. Before starting the car, sit in the driver's seat with the door tightly closed and the key inserted or in the sensing state. Press the start button without stepping on the brake to illuminate the dashboard. Then, take out the remote control, hold the lock button for a full five seconds, and listen for the sound change—usually, a single beep indicates a successful setup. This feature is user-friendly for beginners, adding an extra layer of reassurance, especially when returning home at night or after shopping. If the horn doesn't sound, the car might be in its initial mode; you can have it adjusted at a 4S shop, but doing it yourself saves time and money. Roewe's design is quite considerate—occasional mispresses can be adjusted in the settings. Don’t forget to test the synchronized settings when unlocking as well.
From a mechanical perspective, setting the car horn to sound when locking is for safety confirmation, and the Roewe i5 triggers this signal through the vehicle control ECU. The operation is simple: enter the car, close the door, have the key ready but do not start the engine. Press and hold the lock button on the remote for about five seconds, and after the system detects the signal, the horn will emit a confirmation sound. This poses no risk as the current is small and does not affect battery life. In fact, the method is similar to other brands, with the key being the button combination and waiting time. If issues arise, consult the manual or use the APP for assisted settings, as some models require adjustments in the vehicle settings menu options. I recommend keeping the vehicle's software updated to ensure stable execution of functions.
