228 SAFETY
REAR SEAT REMINDER ALERT (RSRA)
RSRA alerts of the possible presence of an object,
passenger, or pet in the rear seats through a visual and
auditory notification. When the system is activated, it
displays the message “Check Rear Seat” on the
instrument cluster display and sounds an auditory alert
upon the driver placing the ignition in the OFF position to
exit the vehicle. The system will activate automatically if a
rear door is opened within 10 minutes of the ignition being
placed in the ON/RUN position. RSRA should be used as a
reminder to check the rear seats, it does not directly
detect objects, passengers, or pets and is only activated
when the previous conditions are met.
To enable or disable RSRA, see
Ú page 187.
DROWSY DRIVER DETECTION (DDD) —
I
F EQUIPPED
DDD detects when the driver is feeling fatigued and warns
the driver to pull over and take a break.
To Activate/Deactivate
DDD can be activated and deactivated through the
Uconnect system by selecting the following in order:
1. “Safety & Driving Assistance”
2. “Drowsy Driver Detection”
System Intervention
Using feedback obtained from the driver’s steering
patterns, any buttons/switches that are pressed, and from
the front camera, the system implements two operating
logics:
The first operating logic takes the driving style into
account, observing the road and detecting to what
extent the driver can continue driving with few lane
crossing events.
The second operating logic measures the time spent
behind the wheel with the vehicle speed above 40 mph
(60 km/h) and below 100 mph (160 km/h).
If the driving style indicates that the driver is unable to
follow the road trajectory and respect the horizontal lane
markings while within the operating speed range of the
system, a pop-up will display on the instrument cluster
display to suggest that the driver should stop for a break.
An audible signal will also sound.
If the driver
accepts the suggestion provided by the
system by pushing the “OK” button on the left side of the
steering wheel, the message will disappear from the
display.
If the driver
does not acknowledge the warning it will be
displayed for 60 seconds and then disappear.
NOTE:
In the event of a DDD system failure, a dedicated message
will appear in the instrument cluster display.
DDD Warning Message
WARNING!
Before exiting a vehicle, always come to a complete
stop, then shift the automatic transmission into
PARK and apply the parking brake.
Always make sure the keyless ignition node is in the
OFF position, key fob is removed from the vehicle
and vehicle is locked.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Leaving children in a
vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally
injured. Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the gear selector.
Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehi-
cles in hot weather. Interior heat buildup may cause
serious injury or death.
WARNING!
The DDD system is an aid for driving and does not
relieve the driver of the responsibility of driving the
vehicle. If you experience fatigue while driving, pull over
safely for a break without waiting for the DDD to
intervene. Only return to the road when you are in the
right physical and mental condition to prevent
endangering yourself and other drivers.
