Car beeps as I walk away from it?
#3
Chazaroo,
Ok...I'm glad you asked this. So sometimes mine beeps twice, and sometimes not at all. Sometimes I get the flash of the lights to confirm the lock, other times I get the beeps also. I've tried both key fobs to see if this was the difference. I've also tried both single and dual stage locking, and I can't seem to find a consistent pattern for when it beeps and when it doesn't. I'm stumped on this one. Hopefully another forum member will chime in and provide more information.

Davchr,
Thanks to your tip, I have established that the car will beep at you twice if you press the lock on the door handle if the key fob is not in close proximity. I swear it's also beeped sometimes when the fob is nearby, but I can't get this to happen now. Everything works as it should: I just like to figure these little mysteries out!

Interesting, I get the double beep 'not locked' if the fob is too close when I get out of the car, like it thinks the fob is still in the car.
I need to step away and then step back to press the handle button, or turn sideways so the pocket with the fob is farther from the car, or walk around and press the passenger side, or if it really frustrates me I press the lock button on the remote.

If your Smart Key is obstructed (i.e., in the same pocket as your cellphone), the signal may be blocked and not detected.
Keep a spare CR2032 battery for your Smart Key in your glove box in case you get a SMART KEY NOT FOUND message on your dash. It's easy to replace and needs no programming.

Plus, my wife enjoys decorating the weird new growths I now have jutting from my skull. Personally, I find the wind chimes distracting ...

No. After reading your post, I tried that. The passenger side stays unlocked until you manually lock it by pushing the passenger side interior handle. Then the FOB works for everything else and I don't get the double beep.
