Key Left Vehicle Feature
If a valid key fob is no longer detected inside the vehicle
while the vehicle's ignition system is in the ON/RUN or
START position, the message "Key Fob Has Left The
Vehicle" will be shown in the instrument cluster display
along with an interior chime. An exterior audible and visual
alert will also be activated to warn the driver.
The vehicle's horn will rapidly chirp three times along with
a single flash of the vehicle's exterior lights.

 The doors have to be open and then closed in order for
the vehicle to detect a key fob; the Key Left Vehicle
feature will not activate until all of the doors are closed.

the vehicle's engine is left running with the key fob
inside.
