Owner's manual says that if car is locked with the remote, it can be unlocked w/remote or ignition key. When opening w/key, however, the alarm goes off. Called the local dealer and was told that the alarm will sound for 30 seconds or so if a key is used to open the car if it has been locked with the remote. This they said was normal. Only way around it is to lock the car w/the key.
If this is correct, is there a way to disable the alarm?
