Things you didnt know about your 370z

And you can lock your vehicle from the outside with the key fob on hand while the engine is running. I do it during the summer time if I'm at a convenience store and just getting a soda or water bottle, I leave the engine running with A/C blasting cold air while I get my drinks. Upon returning I just press unlock and get in.
So far this is the only vehicle that allows me to do that. Any other car, I have to turn off the engine in order to "lock it".

My GMs, 350Z, previous 240SX, previous LS400, previous E36M3s, and a few others allow door locking using the remote while the engine is running. I do this when warming up in the cold months to prevent theft.

I didn't know that after 2 yrs of ownership, that on occasion, I would still be floored by how aggressively gorgeous a car she is.

every time i exit the car with fob in hand, it beeps and displays a "no key" message. what happens if i keep walking away with the key and out of range of the car?

It will get tired of beeping. Perhaps it may follow the key fob.
On a serious note, nothing happens. It only beeps for a few seconds, but if you don't lock it anyone can still drive it away.
I haven't tried this, but I will "leave" the key fob in the garage while I drive around my block to see if it shuts down after a few minutes or if anything happens at all.
