Also - (since Ive actually done this) My wife and I share a car, I get in the car with key in my pocket with my wife. I drive us to the gym where she drops me off and I leave with the key in my pocket but dont turn off the engine. She proceeds to take the car for errands. Will the car warn her that the key is no longer in proximity to the car? Obviously the car wont restart for her if she stops the engine.
The car won't autolock if you leave it with the car in your pocket.
It will warn you if you leave it running and walk away with they (big warning in your NAV screen and dashboard).
If you turn off the engine without the key close by you have appr 10 seconds to restart it
