On C6 it's covered under "Auto Lock" features/operation in owner's manual.
Same w/ C7 I'd guess.
Horn honks if it's set to, turn it off & you're golden.
Or, should be.

While Landru is telling you something true, the car is honking at you for a reason.
Before you turn off the notifications, it might be wise to find out what it's saying. Can you give us both your exiting and entering scenarios? I doubt it's about a fob, though, because that is usually three honks.
I, also remember a thread about only two honks recently. I don't remember what the upshot was, however.

My seems to honk twice when I have the fob in my pocket, open my door to fuel leaving the door open, and then getting back in and closing the door. I'm sure its some software setting. I believe if I close the door when fueling and get back in it doesn't do this.

If you leave the door open after exiting and the renter and close the door it does the two honks to warn you that you have left the fob in the vehicle. It does not take into account that you are sitting in the car. It simply knows the door was opened and now is closed and there is a fob in the vehicle.

Agree with this but there are 3 Es in reenter. Also might need an "n" on the "the". Your brain is typing faster than your fingers.
