Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) with Ultrasonic Sensors *†6
The Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) with Ultrasonic Sensors can help alert the
driver when rear passenger(s) are left in the rear seats using the ultrasonic
sensors and door monitoring. The system is designed to provide three
separate alerts:
§ The 1st alert is a message on the
Instrument Cluster, “Check Rear Seats”
A, and a chime will sound
After the 1st alert, when the doors are
locked and there is movement detected
in the rear seats, the horn will sound for
about 25 seconds. This alert may activate
up to eight times within 24 hours, if
movement is still detected and system has not been disabled
§ If you have installed the Kia Access with UVO Link app on your
smartphone, logged in and activated the Rear Occupant Alert notification,
a third alert (notification) will be sent to your phone
To turn the system on or off, in the Instrument Cluster, go to User Settings,
select Convenience, and then Rear Occupant Alert.
The Rear Occupant with Ultrasonic Sensors system activates under the
following conditions:
§ A rear passenger door is opened and closed
§ The ignition has been turned off
§ The driver’s door has been opened, then closed
§ The doors are locked with the Smart Key or the door lock button on the
door handle

REMINDERS:
§ To avoid false alerts, make sure the vehicle’s windows are
rolled up
§ If objects such as boxes are stacked in front of the ultrasonic
sensors, the system may not detect any movement
§ The ultrasonic Sensors may occasionally detect movement
in the vehicle and cause false alerts, when there are no rear
occupants present. False alerts can occur due to:
§ The presence of insects near the system sensor
§ Rushing air from a window that is rolled down
§ Movement around the exterior of the vehicle
§ Surrounding noise or vibration
§ Vehicle passing through a car wash
§ Movement in the driver or front passenger seat is detected
§ Th e Rear Occupant Alert with Ultrasonic Sensors system may
fail to detect movement and activate an alarm if:
§ Movement is subtle or does not continue
§ A small child sits directly in a seat without a car seat
§ A rear passenger is covered with an object such as a
blanket, obstructing the sensor’s view
