When the Rear Door Alert system is acti-
vated:
• When the driver puts the vehicle in the P
(Park) position, a notification message
appears in the vehicle information dis-
play with the options to “Dismiss Mes-
sage” 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 Back 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, if rear seat pas-
sengers enter or exit the vehicle dur-
ing 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).

Alert is activated” (P. 2-31).
