BWP Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 We would like to have the horn honk when you lock the car, as in other vehicles we've owned. I can't find anything on it in the owners manual. Can anyone weigh in on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-MaxJaxon Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 It's been asked before. http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/index.php?/topic/366-horn-notification-of-door-lock/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adair Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Mine does, if I push the lock button twice. Also, another neat feature, if a door is ajar, or the car was in stealth mode and you didn't remember to turn it off (easy w/push button start) when you lock it, the horn will honk twice.....calling you back to fix whatever is amiss.

Generalbeluga Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Here's an idea. The orange turn indicators on the outside edge of the rearview mirrors flash when you lock your car. In high light conditions, I just slightly cup my left hand around the outside edge of my rear view mirror (to shield ambient light) while I press my finger on the black locking pad on the driver's door handle. You will be able to see clearly the orange light reflect off of your palm confirming that the car is locked. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 When I have my dog on board and leave her in the car, I am always paranoid to the extreme that she will be stolen if I don't lock up properly so I use my fob and press twice to get the double honk. That drives my husband nuts as he hates noise pollution, but I have to satisfy my mind that Tinker is locked in securely so some drug crazed lunatic doesn't steal her LOL.

valkraider Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 When we have the dog I leave the windows down and the doors unlocked. Unfortunately no one takes him... ;) I would try it with the cat but it probably wouldn't work either... Laurel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Ah but my Tinker is priceless and she would be scooped up in a minute <g>. Actually Tink is a rescue from California and is a wee mutt with pom and who knows what in her. Good as gold though. We used to have 2 Newfoundland dogs and a Bull Mastiff and I could leave them unsecured as they looked formidable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWP Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Thanks all. I wasn't clear in my question, but I was referring to locking it with the black button on the handle. No horn chirping with that method. We also have a rescue dog...a Labrador mix. What a great dog. No C-Max rides, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 BWP it seem there is not a chirp when using the black button. I tried it a few times aiming for a chirp without any luck. So it has to be the fob. Labs are great dogs. We had a rescue black lab who was the best dog we have ever had. How come your lab x hasn't been in your C-Max? Gets car sick?
