Rear occupant alert (ROA) system
The ROA reduces the risk that a rear passenger will be inadvertently left in the vehicle.
Make sure that all the windows are closed when the ROA is operational. If the window is open, the alert may be activated by wind, insects, leaves, or other movement in the rear seat area.
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.
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 instrument 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 movement, the alert operates up to 8 times.
-
The system detects movement in the vehicle for 24 hours after the door is locked.
-
Unlock the door with the smart key to stop the alert.

You can activate or deactivate the ROA on the infotainment system screen as follows:
-
Tap the SETUP button on the infotainment system.
