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.
HOW DOES THE REAR
OCCUPANT ALERT SYSTEM
WORK
The system monitors when rear doors have
been opened and closed to indicate the
potential presence of an occupant in the
rear seat.
A message displays in the information and
entertainment display screen 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.
REAR OCCUPANT ALERT
SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS WARNING: On hot days, the
temperature inside the vehicle can rise
very quickly. Exposure of people or
animals to these high temperatures for
even a short time can cause death or
serious heat related injuries, including
brain damage. Small children are
particularly at risk. WARNING:
Do not leave children
or pets unattended in your vehicle.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury or death.
REAR OCCUPANT ALERT
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
The system does not detect the presence
of objects or passengers in the rear seat.
It monitors when rear doors are opened
and closed.
Note: It is possible to receive an alert when
there is no rear seat occupant, but alert
conditions are met.
Note: It is possible to receive no alert when
there is an occupant in the rear seat, if alert
conditions are not met. For example, if a rear
seat occupant does not enter the vehicle
through a rear door.
Note: The audible warning does not sound
when the front door is opened before you
switch the ignition off.
SWITCHING REAR OCCUPANT
ALERT SYSTEM ON AND OFF Press the button on the audio
unit.
1. Using the controls on the audio unit, select
Settings.
2. Switch Rear Occupant Alert on or off.

2021 Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, MK3J 19A321 AA enUSA, Edition date: 202010, Second-Printing Rear Occupant Alert System
(If Equipped)

•
The system reports the object that is
closest to the front or rear of your
vehicle. For example, if an object is
24 in (60 cm) from the front of your
vehicle and at the same time, an object
is only
16 in (40 cm) from the rear of
your vehicle, a lower-pitched tone
sounds from the rear speakers.
• A continuous tone sounds from a front
or rear speaker if an object is
12 in
(30 cm) or less from the front or rear
of your vehicle.
As your vehicle moves closer to an object,
the rate of the tone increases.
When the parking aid system sounds a
tone, the audio system may reduce the set
volume. When the warning ends, the audio
system returns to the previously set
volume.
Note: Volume reduction is not a standard
feature of all audio systems.
The system detects objects when you shift
into reverse (R) and:
• Your vehicle is moving toward a
stationary object at a speed of
5 mph
(8 km/h) or less.
• Your vehicle is stationary but an object
is approaching your vehicle at a speed
of
5 mph (8 km/h) or less.
• Your vehicle is moving at a speed of
5 mph (8 km/h)
or less, and an object
is approaching your vehicle at a speed
of
5 mph (8 km/h) or less.
REAR PARKING AID WARNING:
The system may not
detect objects with surfaces that absorb
reflection. Always drive with due care
and attention. Failure to take care may
result in a crash. WARNING:
The system may not
detect small or moving objects,
particularly those close to the ground. WARNING:
To help avoid personal
injury, always use caution when in
reverse (R) and when using the sensing
system. WARNING:
The parking aid system
can only assist you to detect objects
when your vehicle is moving at parking
speeds. To help avoid personal injury you
must take care when using the parking
aid system.
If the system malfunctions, a message
appears in the information display.
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt.
Note: Do not cover up the sensors.
Note: Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage
leaving the sensors misaligned, this may
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts.
Note: Some add-on accessories, for
example large trailer hitches or bike or
surfboard racks can cause reduced
performance or false alerts.
The sensors are active when the
transmission is in reverse (R) and the
vehicle speed is less than
5 mph (8 km/h).
When the parking aid system sounds a
tone, the audio system may reduce the set
volume.

Sensor coverage area is up to 28 in
(70 cm) from the center of the bumper.
If the transmission is in reverse (R), the
system detects objects when your vehicle
is moving at low speed or an object is
moving toward your vehicle, for example
another vehicle at low speed. When you
stop your vehicle, the audible warning turns
off after two seconds.
If the transmission is in any forward gear,
the system provides audible warnings
when your vehicle is moving and an object
is within the detection area. When you stop
your vehicle, the audible warning turns off
after two seconds and the visual warning
turns off after four seconds. Press the parking aid button to
switch the system off.
If the system malfunctions, a message
appears in the information display.
Object Distance Indicator (If Equipped)
The system provides object distance
indication through the information display. •
As the distance to the object
decreases, the indicator blocks
illuminate and move toward the vehicle
icon.
• If there is no object detected, the
distance indicator blocks are gray.
When you shift into reverse (R), the system
provides audio warnings and visual
indication when your vehicle is moving and
the detected object is moving toward your
vehicle. When you stop your vehicle, the
audio warnings stop after two seconds.
Visual indication remains on when the
transmission is in reverse (R).
When you shift into any forward gear, the
system provides audio warnings and visual
indication when your vehicle is moving at
a speed of approximately 5 mph (8 km/h)
or below and the system detects an object
within the detection zone. When you stop
your vehicle, the audio warnings stop after
two seconds and visual indication stops
after four seconds.
Note: If the detected object is 12 in (30 cm)
or less from your vehicle, visual indication
remains on.
When you shift into neutral (N), the system
only provides visual indication if your
vehicle is moving at a speed of
approximately
5 mph (8 km/h) or below,
for example, your vehicle is moving on a
slope, and the system detects an object
moving toward your vehicle. When you
stop your vehicle, visual indication stops
after four seconds.
