Rear Occupant Alert System

WHAT IS THE REAR
OCCUPANT ALERT SYSTEM
The rear occupant alert system monitors
vehicle conditions and notifies you to check
for rear seat occupants when you switch
the ignition off. The notifications can be in
the form of warnings inside the vehicle and
sounding of the horn if activated for a short
period of time.
HOW DOES THE REAR
OCCUPANT ALERT SYSTEM
WORK
The system monitors the activity of the
buckle on the rear seatbelt and the
opening and closing of the rear doors to
indicate the potential presence of an
occupant in the rear seat.
When Child Seat Installed is selected, the
system monitors only the opening and
closing of the rear doors to indicate the
potential presence of an occupant in the
rear seat.
When Child Seat Installed is not selected,
the system monitors the rear seatbelt
buckle activity and the opening and closing
of the rear doors to indicate the potential
presence of an occupant in the rear seat.
A message displays in the touchscreen and
an audible warning sounds when you
switch the ignition off after any of the
following conditions have been met:
• A rear door is opened or closed while
the ignition is on.
• You switch the ignition on within 15
minutes of a rear door opening and
closing.
• You switch the ignition on within 15
minutes of the alert having displayed
or sounded.
