Check Back Seat

[Jason Petri]

I can’t find other posts on this so pardon me if it’s already discussed somewhere else. I have turned off the rear occupant alert 4-5 times and it won’t stay disabled. Anyone else have the same issue?

I haven't had that issue. Did you turn off in the vehicle settings? I do have mine off, but it alerts when someone in the back takes off the seatbelt when the car is on or in motion.

Rear-Seat Occupant Alert showing up (ENABLED, photo shows up on center-stack screen), or just a nag-notice that you have it currently DISABLED, and asking if you'd like to Re-ENABLE?

The former is odd.

The latter is a baked-in "feature nudge" in case the driver wasn't aware that the feature existed.

The former. I’ve made up many explanations: Reenabled after a software update? Reenabled after I put something on the back seat? Neither seems to really be the answer.

Gotcha. I've been running updates as they come out, none so far have re-enabled that notification.

It reenables every 6 months but I doubt that is what is happening.

I had a notification that it wanted to reenable come up last Friday or Saturday. Selected no!

honestly I don't think I've ever had anyone in the rear seats yet. Odd tho for sure.

How will you know if you don't check? Right now, quick, before your ghost back seat passengers escape! ;-)

Disabled once long time ago and have forgotten it even existed til now. Hope I didn’t jinx me.

It's tied to the back door opening, not the seat. I put my computer in the back on the floor, still get the child reminder with nothing on the seat. Honestly I love this feature cause Im always forgetting I put something back there

I open the drivers side passenger door two or three times every Thursday (don't ask). Every time it asks me to check rear when I turn the engine off, but only if I have opened the back door.

Now you have me curious what's going on in the back seat on Thursdays ?

I shut it off this morning and when I got to work 15 minutes later it alerted me to check the back seat as it was re-enabled in settings again.

I think it's done because of all the dumb parents who have killed thier kids by leaving them in hot cars ?
