keyless remote question.
hi, just got the 12 fit last month. great car. 
just have 2 question regarding the key remote.
1. if i press the LOCK button once to lock the car, the lights blink once.
2. if i press the LOCK button twice to lock the car, the light blinks once also, Horn goes off once.
dont' have the manual with me now so therefore a quick question.
what is the difference?
thanks

There is no difference, the horn beep is just confirming the car is locked in case you want to be extra sure.

It's the same on my 2003 CR-V. Just confirms that the door is locked. If I hear the "thunk", then I don't hit it a second time to confirm it.
I believe there is a way to deactivate both the blinking and the horn. It is very useful, though, since sometimes a jar is left ajar and the locking process does not occur.

If you stand on top of a hill relative to the parking lot you can increase the range of the remote. This allows you to watch from a good vantage point as you double tap the lock button just as people walk by your Fit. This is what it is for.

But I just realized, I'm probably irradiating my brain! (RF signals)
I rarely feel the need to try my remote from long distances though. I do double tap the button often.

The beep is very useful if you remember to lock the door when you're at a distance. The first remote click may also have been the unlock button if you're not paying attention too much. I prefer to hear the beep all the time.

Technically, with one push, the doors lock and the security system will activate after 5? minutes, whereas the second click activates the security system immediately. Given that the security system isnt all that effective, the difference is minimal. The big advantage of the second push-beep combo is that the beep won't occur if there's something not right like a door ajar.

As for the security... this is what the 2010 manual says:
The security system automatically sets 15 seconds after you lock the doors, hood, and the tailgate. For the system to activate, you must lock the doors and the tailgate from the outside with the key, driver's lock tab, door lock master switch, or remote transmitter. The security system indicator on the instrument panel starts blinking immediately to show you the system is setting itself.

Thank you! Yesterday I noticed that I wasn't getting the reassuring beep at the second push. I thought I had somehow deactivated the feature. After searching the forum, now I know why I didn't get my beep. At lunchtime I went out to the parking lot to look at the car and I discovered the hood wasn't fully latched. After securing the hood, all is now well again.
