mation display warnings and indicators”

vated, a visual message appears in the

vated” (P. 2-32).

mately 10 minutes, the system will not be

audible alert will be provided regard-
less of rear door open/close status.

seat(s) but the audible alert does not
sound. For example, if rear seat pas-
sengers enter or exit the vehicle dur-
