I think he meant while using passive locking...
My RX8 just flashes its lights with the first lock press, pressing it twice gives the beep.
I know. I’ve learned most people didn’t know it beeps if you lock it twice, though, so I figured I’d mention it.
Yeah, it should definitely be optional. I use passive lock. Over time, I've gotten to trust that it will lock when I walk away., but I never know how far because it isn't consistent. At first, I was turning around and looking back at the car from across the parking lot every time. So a sound would just let me know that it's locked and safe without having to visually verify.
I am the same way, so I just got in the habit of pressing the door handle when I get out. Super easy, no need for a fob or anything.
It happened to me once at the service center actually haha. We decided it was that the car was already trying to lock, and so by the time I pressed the door handle it had been asked to lock twice, thus causing the honk.
Hmmm maybe when two people try to lock the door at the same time? Dunno. I'll test it out later
Keep mentioning things - I didn't know pressing the handle locked the car! Thank you
It's my favorite way to lock. Because I use mobile key and am paranoid, I just hit the handle on my way away from the car. And if I don't, I know it'll lock anyway.
