REAR SEAT REMINDER(if equipped)
The Rear Seat Reminder system assists you in
preventing a child or pet from being left in your

seats. The system monitors the opening and
closing of the rear doors. It does not physically
sense the presence of a child or pet.
The system activates when the rear doors are
opened and closed. When the ignition switch
is turned from the “ON” position to the “OFF”
position, the system warns you with audible
beeps and with a “Reminder, Look in Rear
Seat” message in the Combination Meter
Display (CMD).
You can turn the Rear Seat Reminder off in the Combination Meter Display (CMD).
