When locking the doors, why does it beep the second time you press the lock button within 2 secs of pressing it the first time?

Let me tell you why. If you keep pressing it, and you DON'T hear a beep, then something's open. If it doesn't beep, go back and check your car. I always make sure it beeps, and if it doesnt, you know that either your trunk, or one of your car doors isn't closed. So thats why it beeps, to tell you that you're allowed to walk away. Otherwise, you're just locking the doors that are closed.

The beep rocks and sounds nice. Unlike my old accord that would honk at me the 2nd time. That was annoying. I wish there was a way to make it beep the first time. Then I wouldn't have to press it twice.

Yeah, i just wish there was an option to turn the beep on for the first press of the button. Since there is a way to turn it off, I wonder why the engineers did not make a way to turn it on for the first click. Couldnt have been that much harder to design or program.

When you click the button once and the lights i.e. parking lights and indicator, do not flash, you know that something is not closed; that is if you are looking at your car. I guess the audible indicator is for people who walk away without looking while locking their car.

Your wife is correct ... alarm is equally set either way. It's just a question of whether you need visual only (1 click) or audible (2 clicks) confirmation of that fact.
