WARNING
  • 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 door lock system may not work if the electrical system is compromised. Accordingly, please train children passengers regarding how to open the car door manually before an emergency situation arises. That way, they would be able to open the door manually in the event an emergency situation arises.

CAUTION
  • The Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) system uses a rear door opened and closed history.

  • The history is reset after the driver turns off vehicle normally, exits the vehicle and locks the door remotely using the key. So even if a rear door does not reopen, the ROA system alert can occur.

  • For example, after the ROA system alert occurs, if the driver does not lock the door, and drives again, the alert can occur.
