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 key less 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.
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.
