REAR SEAT REMINDER
For example, if you open a rear door to put something into the rear seat and then drive to your destination, your vehicle will alert you with a Driver Information Center (DIC) message and audible chimes to remind you that you put something in the rear seat.
ABOUT REAR SEAT REMINDER
Rear Seat Reminder is intended to activate when a second-row door (not including the liftgate/hatch) is opened while the vehicle is turned ON or up to 10 minutes before the vehicle is turned ON. Under these circumstances, when the vehicle is then turned OFF, the feature triggers the reminder to check your rear seat.
The reminder consists of a few chimes accompanied by a message in the Driver Information Center (DIC) that reads, “Rear Seat Reminder Look in Rear Seat.”
Rear Seat Reminder does not detect pets or people. The alert is only triggered when it detects a rear door has been opened.
This feature is active only once each ignition cycle and requires reactivation on a second trip. For example, if you load your backpack into the second row through a rear door, start the vehicle and then stop for a rest break, the Rear Seat Reminder will remind you to “Look in Rear Seat” when the vehicle is turned OFF. If the vehicle is turned back ON and you leave the backpack in the vehicle (without the second-row door being opened and closed), the Rear Seat Reminder will not activate for the second trip, and no reminder will occur when the vehicle is subsequently turned OFF.
To turn this feature off, go to the vehicle’s Settings menu and select “Rear Seat Reminder,” then “Off.”
