OSW035119L(A): Check rear seat for passengers and belongings
The message can be appear under the following conditions:
-
After driving the vehicle
-
A rear door was opened and closed either before or after driving

The Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) system operates based on the history of the rear doors being opened and closed.
The history is reset when the driver turns off the vehicle normally, exits the vehicle, and locks the door remotely using the smaty key system.
Therefore, even if a rear door is not reopened, the ROA system alert may still be triggered.
For example, if an ROA alert occurs and the driver does not lock the door before driving again, the alert may reoccur.
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.
