Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) system (if equipped)
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 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, exits 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 occurs, if the driver does not lock the door, and drives again, the alert can occur.
