Default Keyless Entry - strange behavour or normal?

Hi, I've just got a 2018 XF sportsbrake with keyless entry. Lovely car and my first Jag! My keyless entry system seems to be acting wierdly. If I take both keys a long way away and put both keys in RF pouches, and lock them away in a steel box (so they cannot communicate with the car), the car does the following if I touch a handle:
- The TFT instrument binnacle lights up grey and says "Interior lights 30s delay"
- The LED headlights start buzzing, and continue to do so for another 3 minutes.
- The hazard warning light switch glows red.

Is this normal behaviour or is there something wrong with my car? If it is normal, then anyone in the car park can make my Jag partially wake up by touching a handle(!). This seems wierd to me, but I've never had a Jag before nor keyless entry...

Many thanks for any advice. You can tell from my spelling I'm on the 'other side' of the pond to most!
