I first encountered this feature on an American car many years ago which has spread.Supposed to stop you driving off with your door open but why it keeps bleeping forever seems a bit like overkill.Probably some American legal thing where they are so fat they have trouble closing the door & their attention span is short it has to keep bleeping or they will sue the manufacturer if they fall out .
