Nissan Ariya: Rear Door Alert

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.

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.
• 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 liftgate is opened before a rear door is opened, the horn will be delayed until after the liftgate 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).
