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:

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 openedand closed history.
The history is reset after thedriver turns off ignition normal-ly, exits the vehicle and locksthe door remotely using theremote keyless entry. So even ifa rear door does not reopen, theROA system alert can occur.
For example, after the ROA sys-tem alert occurs, if the driverdoes not lock the door, anddrives again, the alert can occur.

Each door has a power window
switch that controls the door's win-
dow. The driver has a power window

ation of rear passenger windows.
The power windows can be operated

because it is blocked by objects,
remove the objects and close the
window.
