How to Set the Locking Horn Sound for Volkswagen Lavida?
2 Answers
Step on the brake pedal of the Lavida, shift the gear lever to P position, release the brake pedal, press the one-touch start button of SAIC Volkswagen Lavida twice in succession, close all four doors, and hold down the lock button on the driver's door for more than 10 seconds to complete the setting of the locking horn sound. Here is some relevant information: 1. The locking horn sound of the Lavida is a prompt method to remind the driver that the vehicle has been locked. Otherwise, the driver can only determine whether the vehicle is locked by checking the double flashing lights. 2. The horn is the audio signal device of the car. During driving, the driver can issue necessary audio signals according to needs and regulations to warn pedestrians and attract the attention of other vehicles, ensuring traffic safety. It is also used to urge movement and transmit signals. 3. The working principle of the horn is that when the horn button on the steering wheel or other positions is pressed, the current from the battery will flow to the electromagnetic coil of the horn relay through the circuit. The electromagnetic coil attracts the moving contact switch of the relay to close, and the current will flow to the horn. The current makes the electromagnet inside the horn work, causing the diaphragm to vibrate and produce sound.
I often drive a Volkswagen Lavida, and setting the horn sound for locking the car is actually quite simple—the key is accessing the vehicle settings menu. First, ensure the car is not started; without pressing the brake, tap the one-touch start button to enter the standby mode. Then, open the 'Settings' option on the central control screen, find 'Vehicle Settings' or 'Comfort Functions,' scroll down to 'Central Locking' or 'Lock Confirmation,' where you can toggle the horn prompt sound on or off. I find this feature super useful in parking lots, as it immediately confirms that the car is locked. However, note that the option location might differ in newer Lavida models, and for manual transmission or older models, you might need to refer to the manual for additional steps. If the setup fails, first check if the key battery has enough power, or try restarting the system to avoid occasional minor bugs. In short, spending two or three minutes to set this up makes driving out more reassuring and personalized.
