Funny thing is I've found there are things requiring explanation that are omitted from the owner's manual. Absent rear speakers on the base Z is a perfect example. I'll check to see if this button is explained there. Probably is, but not a lock (no pun intended).

Please, half of the owners of any car will never sit down to read the owner's manual.

Most of the humans will learn by trial and error, that is Human Factor!

Give the OP a break.

Maybe that's why the ringing was so persistent. I'll check it out in the garage right now.Very well thought out car.
Someday, it may be a star Mecum Auctions. Watched last night and I can see it happening with the Z if Nissan doesn't make any more after the 370.

I think you're right - I'm pretty sure the ringing was likely the car reminding you that you were attempting to lock the car (via the round button next to the hatch release button) while the key was still in the fobgina. Indeed, the intricate and thought-out design process of the car really impressed me as well, although all the cars I previously owned were 80s-early 90s models so I guess anything would've impressed me. In fact even having cup holders was impressive at first, haha.

Agreed. Besides, a lot of things are best learned when testing it out hands on; reading about it will only do so much for you.
