I am just curious if anyone has figured out what causes the (seemingly) random warning message about taking your eyes off the road to pop up on the infotainment system. It isn't every time I start the car and I can't figure out if it truly is random or if I am somehow doing something to trigger it. For example, if I open the rear door within a few moments of opening the front door and starting the car, when I shut off the car it will warn me to check the rear seat (sad, but a good feature to help parents stop leaving their kids in cars).

Any ideas, or is my car just judgy?

I have no idea, but it seems completely random to me as well.

I agree, mine doesn't pop up that frequently but when it does it seems to do it a few times a day.

Have seen none of these....

I just got through looking at the 2017 manual, and starting on page 150, it states you are able to personalize the alerts for quite a few things (including but not limited to the rear seat reminder).

I get both of those messages randomly too. I may as well turn both of them off since I don't have any small children.

I guess sometimes I put things in the back seat. I wonder if that's when that one comes on, but again it doesn't do it every time.

How the heck do people forget their kid in the back seat though...?

What Gen Cruze are we talking about? I've never seen it on my Gen1.

Habit. I've read of one case where the woman took her kid to exercise class instead of dropping him off because the day care was closed that day. Once she pulled into the gym parking lot, it was all auto-pilot.

I'm so forgetful I have to develop habits how to do things and where I place things to protect me.

My back seat is in the down position and the whole back of my hatch is full of parts up to the window line, and I still get the message randomly.
