In the Settings menu there is a option which turns the beep on or off when locking.

 

Hi, do you know where abouts in the settings? After the battery being disconnected, I've now lost my beep.

 

Thanks for the quick reply, I was just conserned there might be a problem with it

 

I thought having a beep when locking is a sign there is a fault with your alarm?

I'm sure the UK version hasn't got the option of a horn feedback when locking.

 

Is it 3 beeps in quick succession?

 

Could be a faulty locking sensor somewhere on the vehicle. However, I would have a look into changing your battery on your key fob , it could be a cheap fix for your problem . Good luck

If a car is fitted with an alarm, it's illegal to have any sound signalling activation or deactivation inthe UK.
It must be by visual means only.
A sound is often fine in other countries, so it's sometimes just a case of getting it activated.
I got my Audi dealer to do it on my A3, although he wasn't keen on doing so.
Our Renault Captur used to beep on lock, but that was allowed because it only had central locking, not an alarm.
So, to sum up:

Central locking only - a sound is allowed when locking or unlocking
Alarm as well - no sound allowed.

Silly, I know....
In reality, most manufacturers go for no sound at all.

Spoke to Kia dealer they said the alarm system needs re setting and try switching off the yellow switch in the fuse box .....still the same .will take in next week.
Thanks to everyone who replied Pete

 

Hi Peter,
The beep can indicate different things. If it is three short beeps then this indicates that there was a problem with the Alarm and it has disabled itself. I had this problem on my 2016 registered Sportage but after the alarm started going off randomly. I believe this was a fault in the Siren.

If it is a continuous beep then this could indicate that you have left a door open, left the keyless entry key in the vehicle or a fault door lock.

Best to take it to a dealer and ask them to investigate, especially if it is the three short beeps, as the part for the alarm is usually on back order and can take about three weeks to be delivered to the dealer.

I went through about 4 visits to the Dealer and being told just to reset the alarm and that would fix it but most of the time it would go again shortly after I got home. It is only when I insisted that there was a none fault in the interior sensor they started to look deeper and then found the other fault.

 

Thanks for help I took the car to the dealer they switched the yellow switch in the fuse box on right hand side under the steering wheel off for at least five minutes then switch back on problem solved (when I tried I didn't leave it off long enough)thanks again Pete

 

Thanks, I had the triple beep on locking issue. Dealer advised disconnecting the battery for 5 mins, or bring it in for them to do. I wasn't keen on doing the battery myself so was planning on taking it in. Just tried the yellow switch to 'off' for 5 mins and it has solved the problem. Will see for how long. If it comes back I'm just booking it straight in for investigation.

 

Thanks for posting - interesting.
Does anyone know exactly what that yellow switch does? It certainly doesn't isolate the whole fuse box that I know.

 

Alarm Beeping on locking

I have the 67 plate Optima sports Waggon. Yesterday it starting beeping when I lock the car up. I have looked at the forum and turned the yellow switch off for 40 minutes. Still not fixed so I will take it to the dealer to look at. (Also tried the other key...still beeped 3 times)

 

had this issue on my sportage its the ultra sonic detectors inside the car have gone faulty its a known problem fixed under warranty havnt had a problem since

 

For those experiencing the '3 bleep' syndrome, this link goes back to a thread from August 2017 and if it doesn't provide the remedy for you, I think it's best to refer the car to your local dealership.

My 2016 Sportage experienced the same "3 bleep" syndrome just a couple of weeks ago. As suggested by the various threads on the forum relating to this issue (thanks Indalo and others) I turned off the yellow fuse switch (for approximately 30 minutes) then turned it back on and it seems to have cured it.

As stated elsewhere, doing this will reset all your trip computer figures. Not a big deal though.

 

Had the same issue with the alarm and the magic yellow switch did the business.

Also, might be of some interest to some people is that I had some other messages on a different occasion about my front and back packing sensors. The message was "Parking sensor function fault" or something like that "Contact dealer".

I checked them all out examined with torch etc etc and nothing seemed wrong. I tried everything, even over night hoping it would be gone in the morning the next time I started the car, but it didn't. However, I remembered the yellow switch from when I had the beep on locking issue, so I switched it off for 5 mins and hey presto it all reset and is working fine. That was over a month ago and I have had no issues since.

Thanks

 

Just back on the forum after a while; I had the same issue and it was a faulty sensor replaced under warranty.

 

it is a simple as switching it off and then back on again or do you have to wait ?

 

Although I have successfully 'cured' the bleeping sound on locking the car by turning off the fuse switch, I really don't know if it works by simply turning it off and straight back on.

I left it off for over half an hour as I recall and it sorted the problem so all I can tell you is that it does work. When you're doing nothing important, with a bit of time on your hands, give it a try - first with a quick off-on job and if unsuccessful, leave it switched off for longer - then you'll know.:smile:

 

My new Soul was doing this. Long beep and refusing to sense my key unless I pressed the unlock button. Turned out that wife had left her key in the centre console......

 

The beeping that occurs when you lock your car is simply a confirmation that you have successfully locked your vehicle. You might also be familiar with the horn sound when you lock your car with a key fob. These features are all just confirmation sounds. While some people believe it's needed, others dislike it. forpc.onl youtube vanced for pc

 

My battery was disconnected last week and I've lost my door locked conformation beep, any Idea how I get it back?

 

We have just got the “3 Beep” sound coming from near petrol cap area. It’s NOT the confirmation of setting the Alarm, it is a different sound. We have had car for years and it’s only just starting to do it. Will let you know once we have discussed with Garage.

 

Due to pickup a sportage and dealer was saying that no beep is normal with the car even if a door is left open and you are trying to lock..can someone please confirm how to activate this? On my previous sportage when the door wasn't closed properly ot used to give a beep to alert that one of the doors wasn't closed properly.
