The Rear Door Alert system functions under
certain conditions to indicate there may be an
object or passenger in the rear seat(s). Check the
seat(s) before exiting the vehicle.
The Rear Door Alert system is initially disabled. The
driver can enable the system using the vehicle
information display. (See “[Vehicle Settings]” (P.86).)
When the system is enabled:
* The system is activated when a rear door is
opened and closed. When the vehicle is started
and the system is activated, a visual message
appears in the vehicle information display. (See
“26. [Rear Door Alert is activated indicator]
(where fitted)” (P.95).)
* If a rear door is opened and closed but the
vehicle is not driven, the system will not be
activated. A rear door must be opened and
closed and the car driven for the system to
activate.
* The time interval to activate the system
between when the rear door is opened and
closed and the vehicle is started is about 10
minutes. A longer interval does not indicate a
malfunction.
When the Rear Door Alert system is activated:
* When the driver puts the vehicle in the P (Park)
position, a notification message appears in the
vehicle information display with the options to
[Dismiss Message] or [Disable Alert] if desired.
— Select [Disable Alert] to temporarily disable
for that stop.
— No selection or [Dismiss Message] will keep
the alert enabled for that stop.
* If the alert is enabled when a driver exits the
vehicle, a message will appear in the vehicle
information display that states [Reminder
Check Rear Seat].
If [Horn & Alert] setting is selected:
— An audible horn sound will occur after a
short time unless a rear door is opened and
closed within a short time to deactivate the
alert.
— If the doors are locked before the alert is
deactivated by opening a rear door, the
horn will sound.
— If the back door is opened before a rear
door is opened, the horn will be delayed
until after the back door is closed.
NOTE:
If [Alert Only] setting is selected, the message
alert will still be shown in the vehicle information
display but the horn will not sound.
WARNING
* If the driver selects [Disable Alert], no
audible alert or a message will be provided
regardless of rear door open/close status.
* There may be times when there is an
object or passenger in the rear seat(s) but
the audible alert does not sound. For
example, this may occur if rear seat pas-
sengers enter or exit the vehicle during a
trip.
* The system does not directly detect ob-
jects or passengers in the rear seat(s).
Instead, it can detect when a rear door is
opened and closed, indicating that there
may be something in the rear seat(s).
NOTE:
There may be times when the horn sounds but
there are no objects or passengers in the rear
seat(s).
