How to Turn Off the Horn Sound When Locking the Emgrand?
3 Answers
To disable the horn sound when locking the Emgrand, navigate to the settings in the car's central control screen and turn off the horn option. If the device was installed later, you can simply unplug the connected wires to directly deactivate the locking horn sound. The Emgrand is a compact car with dimensions of 4632mm in length, 1789mm in width, and 1470mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2650mm. The vehicle features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 109PS and a peak torque of 142Nm.
I remember when I drove my friend's Emgrand before, he also found the lock beep annoying and fiddled with it for a while to turn it off. At that time, we were sitting in the car. I first asked him to power on the vehicle without starting the engine, then find the comfort settings in the central control screen, scroll to the lock confirmation sound option and simply turn it off. However, I later discovered this method works better for newer models – older versions require a different approach: simultaneously press and hold the lock and unlock buttons on the remote key for about five seconds until the turn signals flash a few times, indicating success. If that doesn't work, you can always visit the 4S shop and have them reprogram the system using a computer, though this would cost money. The horn design was originally intended to confirm successful locking, but it does disturb the neighborhood at night. After disabling it, the key locking function still works normally, just without the audible feedback.
Last month, I just helped my neighbor adjust his Emgrand GL. The 'beep' sound when locking the car was particularly piercing in the garage. I suggested checking the manual first; the electronic version can be downloaded from the Geely APP. There are two methods for actual operation: For newer models with LCD screens, you can directly turn it off in the vehicle settings, located under the Comfort Functions or Vehicle Safety menu. For older models with mechanical keys, you need to use the combination button method: sit in the car, press the brake pedal while pulling up the handbrake, and quickly turn the ignition lock on and off five times (the exact sequence depends on the model year). You should hear a system prompt sound at the end. If you can't manage it yourself, a roadside repair shop can solve it for ten bucks using a diagnostic tool, which is more cost-effective than a dealership. The only thing to note after making the lock sound silent is to develop the habit of pulling the door to confirm it's locked.
