Why is there no sound when locking the X-Trail?
2 Answers
If there is no sound when locking the X-Trail, it may be because the doors are not properly closed or the trunk is not fully shut. It could also be due to poor wire contact or a broken circuit, or the horn itself might be water-damaged or defective. It is recommended to have it checked at a repair shop. If you want to set the locking to silent mode, you can press both the unlock and lock buttons on the remote control simultaneously for more than three seconds to switch between the two modes. Things to note when locking the vehicle: 1. After locking: Develop a good habit of pulling the door handle again to confirm that the doors are indeed locked. If the doors are not properly locked or are interfered with by electromagnetic waves, items inside the car may be stolen; 2. Continuous sound after locking: Some vehicles may produce a continuous sound from the front, but there is no need to worry as it will automatically stop within a few minutes. That is the sound of the fan rotating.
As a frequent car enthusiast, I've noticed the X-Trail's locking system is quite intelligent. Unlike older vehicles that rely on horn beeps, it uses electronic signal processing. The most common reason for silent locking is the vehicle being set to mute mode, which can be adjusted on the key fob: try pressing the unlock button twice quickly followed by the lock button. Alternatively, it could be a faulty horn - check the fuse and wiring. Low battery power may also cause sensor malfunctions. I recommend first testing if the key battery is nearly depleted; replacing it with a new one often solves the issue. Lock confirmation is crucial to ensure doors are properly secured, otherwise there could be security risks. Don't worry, in most cases adjusting the settings manually can restore the sound.
