Default Leave car running, and it blows the horn!!

First time owning a Ford, and I hope there's a way to turn this feature off! If you leave the car running, and you get out of the car with the key in your pocket, and shut the door behind you, the car blows the horn loudly at you! Saying hey, i'm still running and you left me!!!

Is there any way to turn this off? I'm sure other ford do it too

You can't deactivate that. I have it in my 2013 Escape with smart key. Pain in the ***.

Safety feature. I let an investigator run tests on my old car a couple years ago. He worked for an insurance agency. They were suing because an old couple pulled into their garage, went in the house with the fob in his pocket, left the car running on accident all night, and they died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Other vehicles besides Ford do something similar, e.g. my Hyundai starts chiming loudly.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto were at the bar drinking, when in walks a cowboy who yells, "Who's white horse it that outside?"
The Lone Ranger finishes off his whiskey, slams down the glass, turns around and says, "It's my horse. Why do you want to know?"
The cowboy looks at him and says, "Well, your horse is standing out there in the sun and he don't look too good."
The Lone Ranger and Tonto run outside and they see that Silver is in bad shape, suffering from heat exhaustion. The Loan Ranger moves his horse into the shade and gets a bucket of water. He then pours some of the water over the horse and gives the rest to Silver to drink.It is then he notices that there isn't a breeze so he asks Tonto if he would start running around Silver to get some air flowing and perhaps cool him down.
Being a faithful friend, Tonto starts running around Silver. The Lone Ranger stands there for a bit then realizes there is not much more he can do, so he goes back into the bar and orders another whiskey.
After a bit a cowboy walks in and says, "Who's white horse is that outside?"
Slowly the Lone Ranger turns around and says, "That is my horse, what is wrong with him now?"
"Nothing," replies the cowboy, "I just wanted to let you know that you left your Injun running."
