REAR OCCUPANT ALERT (ROA) WITH DOOR MONITORING*

Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) with Door Monitoring may 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 an alert will sound.

(Message on the Instrument Cluster)

The factory default is set to OFF. To turn the system ON or OFF, go to Vehicle Settings on the Infotainment System, by selecting VEHICLE, then select Convenience, then Rear Occupant Alert and check/uncheck the box.

Reminders:

  • Always be sure to check the passenger areas before leaving the vehicle 
  • ROA uses a rear door opened/closed history, which is reset after the driver turns the vehicle off, exits the vehicle and locks the door remotely. So even if a rear door does not reopen, Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) alert can occur

*See LEGAL page for legal information.

Certain features are available 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.

Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.
