HEATED STEERING WHEEL (if so equipped)

.When the driver puts the vehicle in the
P (Park) position, a notification mes-
sage appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display with the options to
“Dismiss Message” or “Disable Alert” if
desired.
— Select “Disable Alert” to temporarily
disable 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 ap-
pear in the vehicle information display
that states “Check Rear 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 deactivate 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
message 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.

an object or passenger in the rear
seat(s) but the audible alert does
not sound. For example, this may
occur if rear seat passengers
enter or exit the vehicle during a
trip.
. The system does not directly
detect objects 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).

There may be times when the horn
sounds but there are no objects or
passengers in the rear seat(s).
