Interesting keyfob behaviour

[rickfen]

I've had the car for a week now and yesterday with the keyfob in my pocket, I went to press the button and lock the doors (from outside the car). It made a long beep and wouldn't lock. We finally realized that my wife's purse was inside the car and her keyfob was in the purse. Once we put the purse in the truck, I was able to lock the car.
It appears the car won't lock if there is a keyfob anywhere within the passenger compartment.
Nice feature

Related: a similar thing happens if you attempt to walk away from the car with the motor running and the keyfob in your pocket. When you get a couple of feet away the alarm starts to beep and doesn't shut up unless you get back in the car, or toss the keyfob onto the seat, or turn the car off.

The noise will stop after about 10 seconds.

Yep.. However my Genesis is very inconsistent in the fact that it will only beep one out of five or so times that I get out with the key.
