Dirtyhip Posted July 14, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 14, 2019 It keeps telling me to look in the backseat. I wonder if it brain is fried already. This is concerning. I thought maybe it meant something about the rear doors, cause I went shopping and might have forgot to shut the door really well. The doors were solidly shut. Backseat? Is there something operational in the new trucks that is in the back seat area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR46 Posted July 14, 2019 Share #2 Posted July 14, 2019 Some of the newer vehicles have a reminder to look in the backseat in case you have a child in a car seat. Some people forget that they have kids 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted July 14, 2019 Share #9 Posted July 14, 2019 At least you haven't received the 2019 software update yet. As a new customer it will take about 6 weeks to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually there is a notification similar to a recall. Unfortunately they don't send it out in a form that users can do by themselves so the vehicle has to be taken to the dealer while a cable is plugged in. Usually the updates are changes to things like the acceleration curves that the onboard systems use to deploy the air bags or minor modifications to the air/fuel ratios depending on the state you live in and the form of emission tests the vehicle must make it through. As with all software, your vehicles operating system is in a state of constant refinement. GM products are particularly onerous as there are portions of the Onstar system that are active at all times whether or not the user subscribes. Various changes such as new satellite launches require updates to frequencies and protocol so that you can be successfully monitored at all times.

jsharr ★ Posted July 15, 2019 Share #16 Posted July 15, 2019 Here is a bit more info on the back seat reminder.https://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2016/dec/1206-rsr1.html It is triggered by the back door latches and timing. My 2015 Silverado did not have this feature, but a few of the many loaner vehicles they gave me during the long periods of time that my Chevy was in the shop did have the feature.

Happened to me last week. I stopped for some milk and cheese and put it in the backseat. Then I stopped for some take-out food that I put in the front seat. When I got home I took the take-out in the house. Guess what was still in the car the next day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people forget that they have kids You'd think they would have a child seat now that gives a warning beep if the child seat buckle is engaged when the engine is turned off (perhaps triggered by the 12V (cigarette lighter) plug that usually turns off when the key is turned off. It could also be engineered to have a sensor that detects when the driver side door is opened or when the sound of a door opening/closing occurs as my clip-on-the-sun-visor Bluetooth device does. It's not major engineering. I could design the circuit with less than $20 worth of chips and resistors, etc. and a printed circuit board kit. Maybe I will.

Maybe it's something like that. It is tied to the back door latches and is time based. Alerts if the back door has been opened within a certain period of time.
