Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) with Ultrasonic Sensors can help alert the driver when a rear passenger may be left in the vehicle. The alert will be a message on the Instrument Cluster stating to “Check rear seats”
and a chime will sound.

The ROA feature is ON by default. To turn the system ON or OFF, go to User Settings in the Instrument Cluster or Vehicle Settings on the Infotainment System, select Convenience, then Rear Occupant Alert and check/uncheck the box.
Always be sure to check the passenger areas before leaving the vehicle.
*See LEGAL page for legal information.
Certain features are available only on select Kia models.
When engaged, Rear Occupant Alert is not a substitute for one’s attention and may not detect all movement within the vehicle. Always check the vehicle interior when exiting the vehicle.
