System effectiveness is limited and not all occupants/movement will be detected or accurate. Do not over rely on the ARSR and always ensure there are no items or occupants left in the vehicle.
The Rear Seat Reminder found in many vehicles today uses rear door opening logic to detect when the rear doors are opened prior to the vehicle shutting off, to encourage drivers to check the rear seats for any occupants which may be left behind. Advanced Rear Seat Reminder (ARSR) is an enhanced feature that uses an in-cabin radar system to detect movement or potential occupants left inside the vehicle in certain areas after the vehicle has been shut off or locked. If the sensor detects and confirms movement in the rear of the vehicle upon turning off the ignition, the driver will be notified via the vehicle’s multi-information display (MID).6 Provided that customers download, register, and enable the Toyota app through their smartphones, they may also receive a mobile alert/notification through the Toyota app, SMS and/or automated call.7

Alert #3: If the occupant is not removed after 90 seconds, the vehicle will then sound the horn to alert the driver.
Alert #4: In addition, if notifications are enabled for the Toyota app and a rear door is still not opened after four (4) minutes from initial warning, an in-app and SMS push notification will be sent to the registered customer.*
Alert #5: If notifications are enabled for the Toyota app and a rear door is still not opened after another two (2) minutes has passed, the registered customer will receive an automated phone call from Toyota Safety (612) 428-9841.7
