Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) with Ultrasonic Sensors†3
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 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 infotainment system, go to Settings, select Convenience, and then Rear Occupant Alert

-Surrounding noise or vibration
-Vehicle passing through a car wash
-Movement in the driver or front passenger seat is detected
