216i GT - boot door open, it horned

[Danny Boy]

Hi all

Anyone encounter this issue

When my boot door is open
(on parking brake: engine still running)

I'm outside of the car
I wanted to open the passenger door
(frm outside) & notice it's locked.

So I reached out the drivers door handle to try to unlock it.. but instead of putting my hand under the door handle, I accidentally pressed the lock button ion the door handle

And it gave out 2 loud horned instantly!!!
Why is the horn for??

Thats a warning that the engine is still running , so that you don't accidentally walk away!
