A millimetre-wave radar checks for a child left inside after you switch off and lock the car. If it detects one, it alerts you and people nearby with the hazard lights and a siren.
How the alerts work
- First alert: the system starts checking as soon as you lock. If a child is detected, an alert sounds 10 seconds after locking and lasts 5 seconds (or until cancelled).
- Upgraded alert: if the doors stay closed and a child is still detected, a stronger alert starts 85 seconds after the first one ends. It repeats every 60 seconds – 30 seconds of flashing hazard lights and siren, then a 30-second pause – until cancelled.
- Third-level alert: if the upgraded alert has been running for more than 5 minutes and a child is still detected, you receive a message in the car app or by text: "Dear user, it is detected people and pets left in your car. Please return to your car promptly".
- Petrol only
- Third-level alert: if the car has been locked for more than 10 minutes and a child is still detected, you receive a message in the car app or by text: "Dear user, it is detected people and pets left in your car. Please return to your car promptly".
- Super Hybrid (SHS-P) only
Pausing the system
You can switch the reminder off for one trip with the temporary off switch in Vehicle Centre > Vehicle comfort. It turns back ON automatically the next time you start and drive the car.
Warning:Never leave children alone in the car.
