Nissan Pathfinder: 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 within 10 minutes of
the vehicle being driven. When the driver
door is closed 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 within approximately
10 minutes, the system will not be
activated. A rear door must be opened
and closed and the car driven within
10 minutes for the system to activate.
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).
