Rear Occupant Alert (ROA)
System
The Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) system
is provided to help prevent exiting the
vehicle with the rear passenger left in the
vehicle. When you open the front door
after opening and closing the rear door
and turning off the engine, the “Check
rear seats” warning message appears on
the cluster.
„„Cluster
ODN8A059339
„„Steering wheel
ODN8A059134
CAUTION
• The system does not actually detect
objects or people in the rear seat. By
using a rear door opened and closed
history, the system indicates that
there may be something in the rear
seat.
• The rear door opened and closed
history can be initialized only when
you turn off the engine normally, get
off the vehicle and lock the door with
the remote control key. Therefore,
there could be alarms even though
the back doors are locked.
ex) When you get in and drive your vehicle without locking the doors
after the alarm sounds, there could
be the alarm sounds if you turn off
the engine and open the driver’s seat
door.
WARNING
It does not use the actual sensors but it
provides the alarm sounds by checking
the rear door lock/unlock status as a
reminder.

Side View Mirrors
ODN8059024
Make sure to adjust the side view mirrors
to your desired position before you begin driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both
left-hand and right-hand side view
mirrors. The mirrors can be adjusted
remotely with the remote switch. The
side view mirrors can be folded to help
prevent damage when going through
an automatic car wash or when passing
through a narrow street.
The right side view mirror is convex.
Objects seen in the mirror are closer than
they appear.
Use the inside rear view mirror or look
back directly to determine the actual
distance of other vehicles prior to changing lanes.
WARNING
Do not adjust or fold the side view
mirrors while driving. This may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
NOTICE
• Do not scrape ice off the mirror face;
this may damage the surface of the glass.
• If the mirror is jammed with ice, do
not adjust the mirror by force. Use an
approved spray de-icer (not radiator
antifreeze) spray, or a sponge or soft
cloth with very warm water, or move
the vehicle to a warm place and
allow the ice to melt.
