Hello, thank you for reading in. Your owner’s manual should have the exact procedure on how to silence the horn when leaving the key in the car. Typically on these and similar models it is a process of accessing your vehicle settings. If equipped with a touchscreen, the prompt should be in the settings menu. If equipped with Intellink, the settings for the horn should be under it’s category. For more help from our technicians, contact our service department to schedule an appointment.
