Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) system
The Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) is provided to help prevent exiting the vehicle with a rear passenger left in the vehicle.
-
1st alert
-
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.
-
-
2nd alert
-
After the 1st alert the 2nd alert operates when any movement is detected in the rear seat after the driver's door is closed and all the doors are locked. The horn will activate for about 25 seconds. If the system continues to detect a movement the alert operates up to 8 times.
-
Unlock the door with the remote key or smart key to stop the alert.
-
The system detects movement in the vehicle for 24 hours after the door is locked.
-
The 2nd alert is activated only after the prior activation of the 1st alert.
You can activate or deactivate the ROA from the User Settings mode in the cluster LCD display. The option can be found under the following menu:
User Settings → Convenience → Rear Occupant Alert
The infotainment system may change after software updates. For more information, refer to the user's manual provided in the infotainment system and the quick reference guide.
-
Make sure that all the windows are closed. If the window is open, the alert may activate by the sensor detecting an unintended movement (e.g., wind or bugs).
