Why does the car beep at me when I'm getting out after turning it off?

Whenever I am getting out of my car after driving it, it beeps at me until I get out and close the door. Is there a reason for this? Can that "feature" be turned off? It sounds like my previous cars when I would leave the headlights on or left the key in the key switch. I just don't understand the point of it, especially since there isn't a key, and my lights are set to "Auto".

My car beeps only when I leave the engine on and I get out and close the door. It also beeps if I left my light at the "On" position. Outside of that, no other beeps. Although come to think of it, I think it beeped when it sensed a fine chick walking by
.
The beeps are supposed to remind you the engine is running or you left something on.

Yes, it starts when I open the door after turning off the car. How can I turn it off? I saw how to turn off the seatbelt warning beep, but not the beep I'm talking about. I never use my sunroof, so that's not the issue. I guess I should look at the message display next time it happens. It doesn't seem to be 100% repeatable, since I just went out to the garage, started it, shut it off, opened the door, and it didn't beep. It seems to do it most of the time though.

I know how to fix this...try hitting the button to your left inside where the door closes. Tap that button once and you are good to go. I use that all the time to shut off that annoying beep.

i am so use to the chimes by now, i had forgotten all about those silly chimes (which is pretty much the exact same as disabling the chimes)...that is until I read this thread, now i'm back to being annoyed by the chimes.

I have the exact same issue as Gernby, except it is inconsistent. If I turn the lights from auto to off, the chime stops. I can turn the lights back to auto and the chimes stay off too.
I think it's a bug in the integration relay, but I have no idea how to troubleshoot it without doing something that could void my warranty, like cutting wires or pulling pins out of connectors.
I hate the chimes too, but every once in awhile they actually save me from doing something stupid.

I always thought that chime was becuase it was telling me that the FOB is still in the car. You know, turn off car, open door, sit there for a minute to grab what I need. I thought it was telling me not to forget the key. Guess I am wrong.
