● The engine is started within approxi-
mately 10 minutes after opening and
closing a rear door.
● A rear door has been opened and closed
after the engine was started.
The second reminder will not be activated if
a rear door was opened before the doors
are locked.
However, if a rear door is opened and then

that luggage, etc. has been placed in a rear
seat based on opening and closing of a rear
door. Therefore, depending on the situation,
the rear seat reminder function may not
operate and you may still forget luggage,
etc. in the rear seat, or it may operate
unnecessarily.
