Tossed my clubs in the rear yesterday after completing a good round.
Pressed the closure button for the lift gate, it started to close, beeped and stopped. Tried a couple more times with same results.

I'm thk'g I'll have to make my first visit to the dealer with a problem when I remembered I left the key fob in the golf bag. Retrieved the fob, pressed the closure button and all is well.

Nice to have a vehicle that outthinks the driver now and then. Had same feature on a previous vehicle and had forgotten it's convenience.

Define 'good round":wink. I have had similar things happen to remind me to get the fob. You can always override the fob by using the keypad and hitting the bottom 2 at the same time, I do that occasionally when I leave the key in the car.

Same thing happened to me last week. The peril of technology.

Please clarify "bottom 2"?
On the fob?

It's not the fob, it's the window lock on the B pillar (7-8,9-0), if you touch them simultaneously it will lock the doors, key inside.

I use that feature as well when I have the dogs with me and make a quick stop at a mini-mart or inside ATM, etc. I can leave the car & A/C running on a hot day (parking brake on, of course!), but lock the key inside so the car doesn't have to be shut off and heat up inside. I always loved those keypads on Fords; don't know why it never caught on anywhere else. Nissan tried one on the Maxima years ago, but they were the only other manufacturer to do so, to my knowledge.

I agree, it is a gem of a feature.

Hah.... and I have never used it except to see if it worked. Often wondered what folks used it for. I always have the fob in my pocket.
