Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) system
The Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) system is provided to help prevent exiting the vehicle with the rear passenger left in the vehicle.
-
When you open the front door after opening and closing the rear door and turning off the engine, the “Check rear seats” warning message appears on the cluster.
You can activate or deactivate the Rear Occupant Alert by selecting 'User Settings (LCD display) or Settings → Vehicle (Infotainment System screen) → Convenience → Rear Occupant Alert'.
The infotainment system may change after software updates. For more information, refer to the manual provided in the infotainment system and the quick reference guide.
The Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) system does not actually detect objects or people in the rear seat. By using a rear door opened and closed history, the system informs the driver that there may be something in the rear seat.
The Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) system uses a rear door opened and closed history.
The history is reset after the driver turns off ignition normally, gets off the vehicle and locks the door remotely using the remote keyless entry. So even if a rear door does not reopen, the ROA system alert can occur.
For example, after the ROA system alert occur, if the driver do not lock the door then ride and drive again, the alert can occur.
