Steps to set the horn sound when locking the Volkswagen Lavida: Step on the brake pedal, put the gear shift lever in P gear, release the brake pedal, press the one-button start key twice in a row, close all four doors, and hold the lock button on the driver's door for more than 10 seconds to complete the setting of the horn sound when locking. The Volkswagen Lavida is the first A-class car independently developed by Shanghai Volkswagen, with a body length, width, and height of 4605mm, 1765mm, and 1460mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. In terms of appearance, the Lavida's waistline design is quite sharp, while retaining the side contour similar to the Octavia, and the rear and taillight design is also very original. Unlike the taillight group design of the Volkswagen family, the Lavida's taillight group design emphasizes the echo with the front face more.
I previously adjusted the horn setting for locking my Volkswagen Lavida and found it quite convenient. First, get in the car, close all doors without starting the engine, then open the central control screen or infotainment system. Look for the vehicle settings menu, where there should be a sub-option like 'lock confirmation sound' or 'alarm function'—toggle it on. For some model years, you might need to use the key, such as holding down the lock button for 10 seconds until you hear a single horn beep, indicating the setting is activated. I've tested this several times myself. The benefit of this feature is that it helps confirm the car is truly locked, especially in underground parking lots or noisy environments, preventing misoperations. However, make sure the battery is sufficiently charged—if the key is out of power, it might not respond. If you encounter issues, you can refer to the owner's manual or visit a 4S dealership for a system update—most modern Lavida models support this setting.
Setting the horn sound when locking the car is actually not difficult. I've done it a few times on my Volkswagen Lavida. The key is to enter the vehicle settings, find the sound options or comfort functions through the central console, and turn on the locking sound effect. Some older models may require pressing both the unlock and lock buttons on the key for 3 seconds, with the dashboard lighting up as a prompt. Once set up, the horn will beep every time you lock the car, which is quite reassuring. It's recommended to do this when the vehicle is stationary, not while driving. If it doesn't work after trying, there might be poor contact in the wiring or a blown fuse. Check the battery yourself or simply reset the system and restart the engine. Additionally, the unlocking sound can be set in the same way, but be mindful of noise pollution—only enable it in quiet environments. I find this setting useful for daily safety, especially as a reminder for those who forget to close windows or doors.
