Yes... disarm the intrusion alarm before lifting..... or, just don't lock the car. If the car is not locked, intrusion alarm is not active.

My 2020 HTC also even though the manual says it is disarmed with the top down.

I think we are establishing this feature works when the car is off and the key isn’t near it.

OMs should be the first place to look then if unable to locate/find answer, then post a question.
FWIW, I anticipated the RTFM response. But, after reviewing the TOC and index, skimming the OM twice and searching every term I could think of, I posted. I am grateful to those who are willing to share their knowledge.
