Undocumented function or I get it wrong?
I use to put my cell phone on the console below climate control and recently found out that if turn off engine while phone is there my subie makes ding-ding sound as to remind me not to leave the phone.
Did somebody notice this? |

That's a coincidence and not a feature. There is no way for the car to know that the phone is there, other than bluetooth being connected, but that functions while the phone is up to 30 feet away from the car. I bet it is beeping to let you know the keys are in the ignition when you open the door.

Did you by chance leave the keyless fob in the car?? One day I forgot to put the fob back in my pocket when I exited our 2013 Outback. The car refused to lock until I removed it...
Just checking.. Steve

I have been wondering about that "cling - cling" also and traced it to the above scenario. Test it and you will see....It also clings, when you open the door and the engine is still running - if you don't give it enough delay, it will keep clinging... I was also geting paranoid about that! |

This technology isn't far away though. If cars start integrating wireless charging mats, they could easily implement this feature.
