The Rear Door Alert system functions under
certain conditions to indicate there may be an
object or passenger in the rear seat(s). Check
the seat(s) before exiting the vehicle.
The Rear Door Alert system is initially dis-
abled. The driver can enable the system using
the lower display. For additional information,
see “Vehicle information display warnings
and indicators” (P. 2-24).
When the system is enabled:
• The system is activated when a rear door isopened and closed within 10 minutes of
the vehicle being driven. When the driver
door is closed and the system is activated, a
visual message appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display. For additional information,
see “Rear Door Alert is activated (P. 2-25)
• If a rear door is opened and closed but the vehicle is not driven within approximately
10 minutes, the system will not be acti-
vated. A rear door must be opened and
closed and the car driven within 10 minutes
for the system to activate. When the Rear Door Alert system is acti-
vated:
• When the driver puts the vehicle in the P
(Park) position, a notification message ap-
pears in the vehicle information display
with the options to “Dismiss Message” or
“Disable Alert” if desired.• Select “Disable Alert” to temporarily dis- able for that stop.
• No selection or ‘Dismiss Message” will keep the alert enabled for that stop.
• If the alert is enabled when a driver exits the vehicle, a message will appear in the vehicle
information display that states “Check
Back Seat For All Articles.”
If “Horn & Alert” setting is selected:
• An audible horn sound will occur after a short time unless a rear door is opened
and closed within a short time to deacti-
vate the alert.
• If the doors are locked before the alert is deactivated by opening a rear door, the
horn will sound.
• If the liftgate is opened before a rear door is opened, the horn will be delayed
until after the liftgate is closed.NOTE:
If “Alert Only” setting is selected, the mes-
sage alert will still be shown in the vehicle
information display but the horn will not
sound.
WARNING
• If the driver selects “Disable Alert”, no
audible alert will be provided regardless
of rear door open/close status.
• There may be times when there is an ob-
ject or passenger in the rear seat(s) but
the audible alert does not sound. For ex-
ample, this may occur if rear seat passen-
gers enter or exit the vehicle during a
trip.
• The system does not directly detect ob-
jects or passengers in the rear seat(s).
Instead, it can detect when a rear door is
opened and closed, indicating that there
may be something in the rear seat(s).
NOTE:
There may be times when the horn sounds
but there are no objects or passengers in the
rear seat(s).
For additional information, see “Rear Door
