Went back in, (door open) turned the car on and back off (still beeping), then I closed the door, turned it on and then off again, beeping stopped.
I know my actions weren't proper, but nonetheless, it shouldn't have beeped when I turned it off and closed the door.
Should it have? Is the car vindictive and punishing me for driving (three feet) with the door open? (I don't need a second wife!)
I will have to try it when I leave for a meeting at 12:30 EST. I know for sure that first part (moving with door open) causes the beep and this is intended to let you know the door is open and you are driving away.

That said, if I do that it stops after a few seconds upon shutting the car off or closing the door.
