Features of your vehicle
You can activate or deactivate the
ROA from the User Settings mode in
the cluster LCD display.
The option can be found under the
following menu:
1. Press the MODE button ( ) sev-
eral times on the steering
wheel until 'User Settings' menu
appears on the LCD.
2. Select 'Convenience Rear
Occupant Alert‘ with the MOVE
switch ( / ) and the OK button
on the steering wheel.
WARNING
The Rear Occupant Alert (ROA)
system does not actually detect
objects or people in the rear
seat. By using a rear door
opened and closed history, the
system informs the driver that
there may be something in the
rear seat.
WARNING
The door lock system may not
work if the electrical system is
compromised. Accordingly,
please train children passen-
gers regarding how to open the
car door manually before an
emergency situation arises. That
way, they would be able to open
the door manually in the event
an emergency situation arises.
CAUTION
The Rear Occupant Alert (ROA)
system uses a rear door opened
and closed history.
The history is reset after the
driver turns off ignition normal-
ly, gets off the vehicle and locks
the door remotely using the
remote keyless entry. So even if
a rear door does not reopen, the
ROA system alert can occur.
For example, after the ROA sys-
tem alert occur, if the driver do
not lock the door then ride and
drive again, the alert can occur.

Power windows
The ignition switch or ENGINE
START/STOP button must be in the
ON position for power windows to
operate.
Each door has a power window
switch that controls the door's win-
dow. The driver has a power window
lock button which can block the oper-
ation of rear passenger windows.
The power windows can be operated
for approximately 30 seconds after
the engine is turned off.
However, if the front doors are
opened, the power windows cannot
be operated even within the 30 sec-
ond period.
The driver’s door has a master power
window switch that controls all the
windows in the vehicle.
If the window cannot be closed
because it is blocked by objects,
remove the objects and close the
window.

While driving with the rear windows
down or with the sunroof (if

pulsation noise. This noise is a nor-
mal occurrence and can be reduced
or eliminated by taking the follow-
ing actions. If the noise occurs with
one or both of the rear windows

Automatic reversal
(for Auto up/down window)

dow is blocked by an object or part of
the body, the window will detect the
resistance and will stop upward
movement. The window will then
lower approximately 11.8 in. (30 cm)
to allow the object to be cleared.
The distance may vary based on the
size or position of the window. If the
window detects the resistance while
the power window switch is pulled up
continuously, the window will stop
upward movement then lower
approximately 1 in. (2.5 cm).
