Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) with Ultrasonic Sensors*†5
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 or Audio Head Unit*, go to User Settings, select Convenience, and then Rear Occupant Alert .
Rear Occupant with Ultrasonic Sensors 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

REMINDERS:
•
To avoid false aler ts, 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 aler ts, when there are no rear occupants present
. False aler ts 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
•
The Rear Occupant Aler t 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
