New Delivery Minor Issues

JohnD'supplier · Jul 15, 2020

Picked up our new ST a week and a half ago and loving it so far. But two issues have come up.

First, when I leave the car running and close the driver's door, the horn beeps twice. A warning to the driver I guess to make sure leaving the car on was desired. But it can be obnoxious and I can't see how to turn this off in the owner's manual.

Second, I have the exterior lights set to Auto and the daytime running light switch in the on position, but I don't see the running lights illuminated. Doe the car have to be moving for the daytime running lights to turn on?

Any help is appreciated.

You can kill the double honk with Forscan...just Google it if you’re not familiar.
the DRL’s are only on when it’s in gear.

To answer your question about the horn, no you can’t turn that off in settings. As mentioned above, FORScan will allow you to do that. It’s an aftermarket device that you use to configure settings beyond what the settings menu allows.

Thanks for the replies. I'll check out Forscan.

Watch out...you’ll go down the rabbit hole like the rest of us and start changing tons of stuff.
check out Bambi Mode...it lets your high, low and fog lights all stay on at once with high beams on. It’s fantastic if you drive a lot at night.
