REAR DOOR ALERT

LIC4415

VEHICLE INFORMATION DISPLAY WARNINGS AND INDICATORS

Rear Door Alert is activated

When the system is enabled, this message appears when the Rear Door Alert system is active and can remind the driver to check the back seat.

• Using the steering wheel switch, a driver can select “Dismiss Message” to clear the display for a period of time. If no selection is made, this message automatically turns off after a period of time. If this message does not automatically turn off, it is not a malfunction.

• Using the steering wheel switch, a driver can select “Disable Alert” to disable the selected alert for the remainder of the current trip.

WARNING

Selecting “Dismiss Message” during a stop within a trip temporarily dismisses the message for that stop without turning the system off. Alerts can be provided for other stops during the trip. Selecting “Disable Alert” turns off the Rear Door Alert system for the remainder of a trip and no audible alert will be provided.

NOTE:

This system is disabled until a driver enables it using the vehicle information display. For additional information, refer to “How to use the vehicle information display” in this section.

For additional information, refer to “Rear Door Alert” in this section.

The Rear Door Alert system functions under certain conditions to indicate there may be an object or passenger in the rear seat(s). Check the seat(s) before exiting the vehicle.

The Rear Door Alert system is initially disabled. The driver can enable the system using the vehicle information display. For additional information, refer to “Vehicle information display warnings and indicators” in this section.

When the system is enabled:

• The system is activated when a rear door is opened and closed. When the vehicle is started and the system is activated, a visual message appears in the vehicle information display. For additional information, refer to “Rear Door Alert is activated” in this section.

• If a rear door is opened and closed but the vehicle is not driven, the system will not be activated. A rear door must be opened and closed and the car driven for the system to activate.

• The time interval to activate the system between when the rear door is opened and closed and the vehicle is started is about 10 minutes. A longer interval does not indicate a malfunction.

When the Rear Door Alert system is activated:

• When the driver puts the vehicle in the P (Park) position, a notification message appears in the vehicle information 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 appear 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 trunk is opened before a rear door

is opened, the horn will be delayed until after the trunk 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.

• There may be times when there is 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).

NOTE:

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

For additional information, refer to “Rear Door Alert is activated” in this section.

SEATS

WARNING

• Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the seatback is reclined. This can be dangerous. The shoulder belt will not be against your body. In an accident, you could be thrown into it and receive neck or other serious injuries. Youcould also slide under the lap belt and receive serious internal injuries.

ARS1152

• For the most effective protection

when the vehicle is in motion, the seat should be upright. Always sit well back and upright in the seat with both feet on the floor and adjust the seat properly. For additional information, refer to “Precautions on seat belt usage” in this section.

• Af ter adjustment, gently rock in the seat to make sure it is securely locked.

• Do not leave children unattended inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly activate switches or controls or make the vehicle move. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.

• To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave children, people who require the assistance of others or pets unattended in your vehicle. Additionally, the temperature inside a closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly become high enough to cause a significant risk of injury or death to people and pets.

• Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving so full attention may be given to vehicle operation. The seat may move suddenly and could cause loss of control of the vehicle.

• The seatback should not be reclined any more than needed for comfort. Seat belts are most effective when the passenger sits well back and straight up in the seat. If the seatback is reclined, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and being injured is increased.

WARNING

HEAD RESTRAINTS/HEADRESTS

• Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.

• When returning the seatbacks to the upright position, be certain they are completely secured in the latched position. If they are not completely secured, passengers may be injured in an accident or sudden stop.

• Closely supervise children when they are around cars to prevent them from playing and becoming locked in the trunk where they could be seriously injured. Keep the car locked, with the rear seatback and trunk lid securely latched when not in use, and prevent children's access to car keys.

LRS2217

CENTER ARMREST (if so equipped)

Pull the armrest down as shown.

WARNING

Head restraints/headrests supplement the other vehicle safety systems. They may provide additional protection against injury in certain rear end collisions. Adjustable head restraints/ headrests must be adjusted properly, as specified in this section. Check the adjustment after someone else uses the seat. Do not attach anything to the head restraint/headrest stalks or remove the head restraint/headrest. Do not use the seat if the head restraint/ headrest has been removed. If the head restraint/headrest was removed, reinstall and properly adjust the head restraint/headrest before an occupant uses the seating position. Failure to follow these instructions can reduce the effectiveness of the head restraints/ headrests. This may increase the risk of serious injury or death in a collision.

䉱 Indicates the seating position is equipped with a head restraint.

쮿 Indicates the seating position is equipped with a headrest.

+ Indicates the seating position is not equipped with a head restraint or headrest (if applicable).

• Your vehicle is equipped with a head restraint/headrest that may be integrated, adjustable or non-adjustable.

• Adjustable head restraints/headrests have multiple notches along the stalk(s) to lock them in a desired adjustment position.

• The non-adjustable head restraints/ headrests have a single locking notch to secure them to the seat frame.

• Proper Adjustment:

– For the adjustable type, align the head

restraint/headrest so the center of your ear is approximately level with the center of the head restraint/headrest.

– If your ear position is still higher than

the recommended alignment, place the head restraint/headrest at the highest position.

• If the head restraint/headrest has been removed, ensure that it is reinstalled and locked in place before riding in that designated seating position.
