Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9426555A1] A vehicle horn system (10) is disclosed which provides a plurality of different sounds, each indicative of the occurence of a different event. The horn system includes a vehicle horn (14), a horn switch (24), and a control circuit (12) having a plurality of inputs, one of which is coupled to the horn switch (24). Activation of the horn switch (24) causes the control circuit (12) to operate the horn (14) to produce a standard horn warning. Other events for which the horn system produces an audible alert include backing-up of the vehicle and changes in the vehicle alarm status. The horn system can include a vehicle alarm sensor (24) and a second vehicle horn (16) that produces a different sound than the first horn (14). The control circuit (12) is configured to operate only one of the horns when the vehicle is travelling below a certain speed and to operate both horns when the vehicle is travelling above that speed.
