if your “new" option in the security tab is an alarm, it'll honk and flash the lights if the doors et al. are opened without using the remote to unlock it after being locked with the remote.

To test: lock with remote, unlock with key, open door, all hell breaks loose.

I forgot I had enabled this setting before putting my car away for the winter and for some reason I locked the doors (habit probably). Then, I removed the battery from the fob to avoid broadcasting the signal all winter for no reason (also, there had been someone signal jacking fobs and steeling cars in the area). A week later I realized my sunglasses and phone charger were still in the BRZ so I unlocked it with the key and couldn't hear anything for a few days after being in a closed garage with a blaring horn (mild exaggeration, but it was loud). Touching the fob to the start button killed the noise.
