Andrew you can be assured that what Eddie assumes is not true for the most part. 
The push button is a gimmick but nice, key HAS to be in front seat area. 
Want to be double sure. Take the battery out of the FOB, pull a key insert out. 
You are then clear back to Rambler days! use a key to unlock and insert that key into 
a backup slot then push button to start car. 
It's an override for when the battery dies in the FOB. 

I have to come out and say," WTF would that emergency release tab creep out a Texan? 
How many fried kids have died in trunks down there! The lack of the glow in the dark pull would creep me out!" 

Yeah the alarm goes off if the doors are opened when the doors are locked and opened through a rolled down window

" I have a confession to make, I rented a Nissan Altima a few weeks ago to 
" drive down to Corpus Christi to visit brother. Good running car, great 
" AC system, great gas mileage too. No key. That's right no key, you have 
" little alarm thingie on chain that opens doors, locks doors, opens trunk 
" and that is it. Once car is opened, ANYONE can start car as I found out 
" when 8 year old Jacob pressed ignition switch. My first thoughts were 
" 'uh, didn't RAMBLER have this push button crap on dash in early 1906s?' 

yeah, push button -shifter-, for a/t. mopar did too. afaik the ign 
was still keyed. 

" Second thought was anyone could steal the car and I'm used to leaving my 
" windows open on my AMCs...it is no big deal, and dissipates heat inside 
" car and not like anyone will steal a AMC. 
" 
" But once car is unlocked, even seagull could start car, didn't like that 
" feature. 

i'm very surprised that's legal. silly me, i thought cars were 
required to have ignition -locks-... 

and if the windows are open, can't you reach in and manually unlock 
the doors? maybe that'd set the alarm off - but if the engine is 
started first... 

" Something that really creeped me out on the Nissan Altima was 
" inside the trunk has a 'emergency release' to pull in case you are 
" carjacked and kidnapped and thrown in trunk. Think about that. 

that's fairly common these days, might even be safety law.
