Hyundai Tucson: Convenience Features / Rear Occupant Alert (ROA). Rear Occupant Alert Precautions

Rear Occupant Alert is provided to prevent the driver from leaving with any rear passenger left in the vehicle.

Rear Occupant Alert Settings

To use Rear Occupant Alert, it can be enabled from the Settings menu in the instrument cluster or infotainment system.

Select:

• User Settings > Convenience > Rear Occupant Alert (for cluster type)
• Setup > Vehicle > Convenience > Rear Occupant Alert (for infotainment system type)

Rear Occupant Alert Operations

• First alert

When you turn off the engine and open the driver’s door after opening and closing the rear door or liftgate, the "Check rear seats" warning message appears on the instrument cluster.

• Second alert

After the first alert, the second alert operates when any movement is detected in the vehicle after the driver’s door is closed and all the doors are locked. The horn sounds for approximately 25 seconds. If the system continues to detect a movement, the alert operates up to 8 times. Unlock the doors with the smart key to stop the alert.

The system detects movement in the vehicle for 8 hours after the door is locked.

Information

• The second alert is available for vehicles equipped with the ROA sensor.
• If you do not want to use Rear Occupant Alert, press the OK button on the steering wheel when the first alert appears and the second alert is deactivated once.

• If the vehicle is started remotely (if equipped with Remote Start), the interior movement detection stops.

Rear Occupant Alert Precautions

• Make sure that all the windows are closed. If any window is open, the alert may occur when the sensor has detected any movement (e.g. wind or bugs).
• The alert may occur if any movement is detected in the driver's or passenger's seat.
• If all doors are locked with a passenger in the vehicle, the alert may occur.
• The alert may occur if there is an impact on the vehicle.
• If boxes or objects are stacked in the vehicle, the system may not detect passengers. The alert may occur if the boxes or objects fall off or move.
• The alert may occur with the doors locked if the vehicle is pushed or shaken, or washed, or if there is sufficient external vibration or noise.
• The alert may occur when there are metallic or liquid objects in the vehicle.
