Child-Protector Rear Door Locks
OOS047005N
The child safety lock is provided to help
prevent children seated in the rear from
accidentally opening the rear doors. The
rear door safety locks should be used
whenever children are in the vehicle.
The child safety lock is located on the
edge of each rear door. When the child
safety lock is in the lock position, the
rear door will not open if the inner door
handle is pulled.
To lock the child safety lock, insert a
small flat blade tool (like a screwdriver or
similar) (1) into the slot and turn it to the
lock position as shown.
To allow a rear door to be opened from
inside the vehicle, unlock the child safety
lock.
WARNING
If children accidently open the rear
doors while the vehicle is in motion,
they could fall out of the vehicle. The
rear door safety locks should always
be used whenever children are in the
vehicle.
Rear Occupant Alert (ROA)
This function prevents the driver from
leaving a passenger in the rear seats.
If your vehicle is equipped with
additional navigation, please refer
to the infotainment system manual
separately supplied.
OCN7050135L
NOTICE
When the driver turns off the engine
and opens the driver’s door after
opening and closing a rear door, a
warning message “Check rear seats”
appears.
WARNING
The Rear Occupant Alert provides
information to the driver to check
the rear seats but it does not detect
whether there is an object or passenger
in the back seats. Please check the rear
seats always when leaving the vehicle.
CAUTION
The door open and close history is
initialized if the driver turns off the
engine and lock the vehicle door. Even
though the rear door is not opened
again, the alarm may sound if there is
the previous record. For example, if the
driver does not lock the vehicle door
and opens the door to get off after the
alarm sounds, the alarm may go off.

Automatic-Dimming Night Vision Safety™
(NVS®) Mirror (if equipped)
The NVS® Mirror automatically reduces
glar
e by monitoring light levels in the
front and the rear of the vehicle. Any
object that obstructs either light sensor
will degrade the automatic dimming
control feature.
For more information regarding NVS®
mirrors and other applications, please
refer to the Gentex website:
www.gentex.com
Your mirror will automatically dim
upon detecting glare from the vehicles
traveling behind you.
The mirror defaults to the ON position
each time the vehicle is started.
Integrated HomeLink® Wireless Control
System
The HomeLink® Wireless Control System
pr
ovides a convenient way to replace
up to three hand held radiofrequency
transmitters used to activate compatible
devices such as gate operators, garage
door openers, entry door locks, security
systems, and home lighting.
NOTICE
HomeLink® operates while the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ACC or
ON position for safety reasons. It is
to prevent unintentional security
problems from happening when the
vehicle is parked outside the garage.
WARNING
Before programming HomeLink® to a
garage door opener or gate operator,
make sure people and objects are out
of the way of the device to prevent
potential harm or damage. Do not
use the HomeLink® with any garage
door opener that lacks the safety
stop and reverse features required
by U.S. federal safety standards (this
includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982).
A garage door that cannot detect an
object - signaling the door to stop and
reverse - does not meet current U.S.
federal safety standards. Using a garage
door opener without these features
increases the risk of serious injury or
death.
For more information, contact
HomeLink® at www.homelink.com, or
call Home-Link customer support at
1-800-355-3515.
It is also recommended that a new
battery be replaced in the handheld
transmitter of the device being trained
to HomeLink® for quicker training and
accurate transmission of the radio
frequency.
