When the Rear Door Alert system is acti-
vated:
• When after driving the driver puts the ve-
hicle in the P (Park) position, a notification
message appears in the vehicle informa-
tion 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
“Check Rear Seat for All Articles.”
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 trunk is opened before a rear door
is opened, the horn will be delayed until
after the trunk 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 will be provided regard-
less 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 passengers enter or exit the
vehicle during a trip.
• The system does not directly detect
objects or passengers in the rear
seat(s). Instead, it can detect when a
rear door is opened and closed, indi-
cating 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 pas-
sengers in the rear seat(s).
For additional information, see “Rear Door
Alert is activated” (P. 2-40).
