Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) uses a rear door opened and closed history.

The history is reset after the driver turns the vehicle off normally, exits the vehicle and locks the door remotely. So even if a rear door does not reopen, Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) alert can occur.

For example, after the Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) alert occurs, if the driver does not lock the door, and drives again, the alert can occur.
The door lock system may not work if the electrical system is compromised.

That way, they would be able to open the door manually in the event an emergency situation arises.
