Back-seat reminder when you park

Shift into Park with a second-row seat occupied and the car reminds you out loud to check the back.

WHEN
Gear State — Changes to Park
AND IF
  • Seat Occupied — Second-row left or right is occupied
THEN
  1. Voice Announcement — “Check the back seat before you lock up.”

Why it’s useful

A spoken reminder at the exact moment you park is harder to ignore than a habit you are supposed to keep.

How to set it up

  1. Open AutomationsWith the car in Park, open the App Launcher on the touchscreen and tap Automations.
  2. Create a new automationTap “Create an automation”.
  3. Set the trigger: Gear StateUnder Trigger, open Drive and pick Gear State. Set it to: Changes to Park.
  4. Add condition: Seat OccupiedTap Add condition, open Seats, pick Seat Occupied and set: Second-row left or right is occupied.
  5. Action 1: Voice AnnouncementTap Add action, open Voice, pick Voice Announcement and set: “Check the back seat before you lock up.”.
  6. Name and saveName it “Check Back Seat”, save, and make sure its card is switched on.
  7. Test itTrigger it once while parked with the screen on, and check each action happened.

Menu names come from the English strings found in current firmware and may change slightly at launch. There is no way to import automations, so you build each one on the touchscreen. Full walkthrough

Limits to know

  • This is a reminder, not a safety system. Light children and car seats may not trigger the occupancy sensor.
  • Automations only run while the center screen is on, and never while Autopilot or FSD is engaged.
