Curious to know if anyone else sometimes hears a series of bongs/tones coming from inside the car after leaving and then locking it. Had this happen multiple times and I cant figure out what it’s means ?
 
One time I think I noticed it said on the screen that the Smart key was not in range, so I think it's mostly just due to taking the key away from the car while it's on.

But it does happen a lot and I'm not certain this is always the cause of it.
 
Yes this has me puzzle as well. At first I thought it's warning of doors not closed properly. But it isn't. It happens randomly.
 
I’ve not noticed anything on the screen but then again i’ve not really looked, as long as it is locked ok i walk away.

I did think it might be something to do with the key but never been able to reliably replicate it.
