WARNING
The Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) system
does not actually detect objects or peo
-
ple in the rear seat. By using a rear door
opened and closed history, the system
informs the driver that there may be
something in the rear seat.
CAUTION
The Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) system
uses a rear door opened and closed his
-
tory.
The history is reset after the driver turns
off ignition normally, exits the vehicle
and locks the door remotely using the
remote keyless entry. So even if a rear
door does not reopen, the ROA system
alert can occur.
For example, after the ROA system alert
occurs, if the driver does not lock the
door, and drives again, the alert can
occur.
