2 Answers
Setting method for the lock horn beep of Kia K3: 1. Set via the central control: Find the "Vehicle Settings" option in the car's system, then enter the "Control Page", and turn on the "Lock Sound Prompt" on the control page, the horn will sound when locking the car; 2. Change ECU settings: Go to a 4S store to modify the ECU data. Taking the 2021 1.4T DCT GT-Line Striving Edition Kia K3 as an example: The manufacturer of this car is Dongfeng Yueda Kia, with a body length, width, and height of 4660mm, 1780mm, and 1450mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The body structure of this car is a 4-door 5-seater sedan, with front-wheel drive, front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension, and rear suspension type of torsion beam non-independent suspension.
Setting the horn beep for locking the Kia K3 is a handy trick I often use. After getting in the car, don't turn off the engine—start the vehicle to get the system running. Press the menu button on the right side of the steering wheel to enter the settings interface, then look for an option called Door Lock or Security Settings. Inside, there should be a toggle for Lock Confirmation Sound or Alarm Horn—just turn it on. The location might vary slightly depending on the model year; for example, my 2019 model allows adjustment directly on the instrument cluster. After setting it up, remember to test it by pressing the lock button on the key fob—the horn will beep once to confirm. This feature is super convenient for quickly knowing if the car is locked when parking, saving you the hassle of double-checking, and it also serves as an anti-theft reminder. If you can't find the option, a quick look at the owner's manual with its diagrams will clear things up.
