OKA4050529N
WARNING
The Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) system
does not actually detect objects or peo-
ple 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.
NOTICE
The Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) uses a
rear door opened and closed history.
The history is reset after the driver turns
off ignition normally exits the vehicle
and locks the door remotely using the
remote keyless entry. So even if a rear
4 24
door does not reopen, the ROA system
alert can occur.
For example, after the ROA alert occurs
if the driver does not lock thed door, and
drives again, the alert can occur
WARNING
The door lock system may not work if
the electrical system is compromised.
Accordingly, please train children pas-
sengers regarding how to open the car
door manually before an emergency sit-
uation arises. That way, they would be
able to open the door manually in the
event an emergency situation arises.
2nd alert (if equipped)
僅 After the 1st alert, the 2nd alert oper-
ates 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. Kia Connect service
users will receive a text message. (if
equipped)
僅 Unlock the door with smart key to
stop the alert.
僅 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.
NOTICE
僅 Make sure that all the windows are
closed. If the window is open, the alert

an unintended movement (e.g., wind
or bugs).
