Setting method for the horn sound when locking the Roewe RX5: 1. Turn on: Press both the lock and unlock buttons on the remote key for 3 seconds until the light flashes once; 2. Turn off: Press both the lock and unlock buttons on the remote key for 3 seconds again until the light flashes once. The horn sound when locking is a very user-friendly reminder. Owners usually use the remote to lock the car, and it may be difficult to confirm whether it is locked when in a hurry. With the horn sound when locking, owners can easily confirm the vehicle's status through the sound. Taking the 2021 Roewe RX5 PLUS 300TGI Automatic Ali Guochao Haorong Lin Edition as an example: It is a compact SUV launched by SAIC Motor, with a length, width, and height of 4571mm, 1855mm, and 1719mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2708mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 127kw and a maximum torque of 275nm, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Last time I set the horn sound when locking my Roewe RX5, the operation was super simple: sit in the driver's seat, no need to start the engine, but press the power button twice to light up the center screen. Then tap the 'Settings' icon on the main screen, scroll to 'Vehicle Settings', select 'Door Lock Functions', where there's usually a 'Lock Confirmation Sound' option—just toggle it on. When you lock the car with the key, it beeps once, which feels really cool and makes finding the car in parking lots much easier. If there's no response after trying, the settings might not have saved properly—exiting the menu and re-entering or restarting the car battery should work. Menu positions may vary slightly for different model years of the RX5; for example, the 2018 version might have it under 'Comfort Settings', so referring to the owner's manual is safer. After all, confirming a secure lock is crucial to avoid property loss.

Setting the RX5's horn sound when locking involves details of the vehicle's electronic system: After starting the vehicle, press the menu button on the steering wheel to enter the central control screen, select 'System Settings', then navigate to the 'Door Lock Settings' submenu. Look for the 'Horn Prompt' option and enable it. The entire process is controlled by the vehicle's onboard computer, and the path may change after a system update. I recommend first checking the dashboard or app for synchronized status. Additionally, this function can be paired with light flashing prompts for dual confirmation, enhancing nighttime safety. If the horn does not work, check the fuse or whether the battery voltage is low to avoid recurring malfunctions.

Many RX5 owners have shared that enabling the horn sound when locking the car is straightforward: power on the vehicle, tap 'Settings' on the center console screen, locate the 'Safety & Convenience' section, and toggle the 'Lock Sound' switch to ON. If the menu seems complex, try holding down the lock button on the key fob for a few seconds—this sometimes activates the setup mode. From experience, higher trims like the top configuration may require additional steps, so it's best to consult the owner community or watch video tutorials to ensure success on the first try.

Prioritizing safety, I always set my RX5 to honk when locking: Turn on the power without starting the engine, tap the ‘Settings’ icon on the center console, enter ‘Vehicle Options’, select ‘Door Lock Functions’, then enable ‘Audible Feedback’. This makes the car emit a beep when locking with the key fob, confirming secure door locking to prevent accidental openings or theft. Note that other settings like window closing and light indicators can be combined for added convenience. If the horn doesn’t sound, check the user manual for possible mute mode interference and troubleshoot promptly.

When I was a beginner setting up the RX5, I figured out the steps: first power on the car without starting it, tap 'Settings' on the central control screen, open the 'Vehicle Menu', enter 'Lock Settings', and turn on the 'Sound Alert' option. I found this option is often linked to key remote control braking, making the locking sound more noticeable after setup. When encountering issues, the 4S store taught me additional tips, such as adjusting it remotely via the APP to ensure stable system operation.
