Why doesn't the car beep when locking?
2 Answers
Locking without a beep is due to issues with the vehicle's horn. Here are specific explanations about car locking: 1. Reasons for no sound: First, when the 'horn sound on lock' feature is turned off in the vehicle settings, there will be no sound when locking; Second, if there's an issue with the vehicle's horn, it won't sound when locking; Third, a malfunction in the vehicle's central control system may prevent the car from locking. 2. Solutions: When a vehicle doesn't beep upon locking, it might be due to a horn malfunction or system failure. You can first use elimination methods to check. If you're unable to perform the operation yourself, take the vehicle to an after-sales service or repair shop to seek help from a technician to resolve the issue.
My car didn't make a sound when locking, which has happened before and made me uneasy because the sound is a security confirmation signal. Last time I parked and pressed the remote key, there was usually a beeping sound, but there was no response at all. I nervously checked if the doors were properly closed. Later, I found out that the remote's battery was dead, and replacing it with a new one immediately solved the problem. Alternatively, the lock confirmation sound might have been turned off in the vehicle settings, which I sometimes accidentally disable by pressing buttons. A faulty horn system can also cause no sound, such as a blown fuse or a short circuit. It's recommended to first try replacing the key battery and checking the vehicle manual to adjust the settings; if that doesn't work, it's likely a horn issue that requires professional repair. For safety, developing the habit of manually checking the lock status after getting out of the car can avoid risks in public places, especially at night or in unfamiliar locations.
