appears in the vehicle information dis-
play. For additional information, refer to
“Rear Door Alert is activated” in this sec-
tion.
∙ If a rear door is opened and closed but the vehicle is not driven within approxi-
mately 10 minutes, the system will not
be activated. A rear door must be
opened and closed and the car driven
within 10 minutes for the system to ac-
tivate. When the Rear Door Alert system is acti-
vated:

appears in the vehicle information dis-
play with the options to “Dismiss Mes-
sage” or “Disable Alert” if desired.

opened and closed within a short
time to deactivate the alert.
∙ If the doors are locked before the alert is deactivated by opening a rear
door, the horn will sound.

layed until af ter the trunk is closed. NOTE:

seat passengers enter or exit the ve-
hicle during a trip.

seat(s). Instead, it can detect when a
rear door is opened and closed, indi-
cating that there may be something in
the rear seat(s).
