Abstract
A vehicle includes a rear door, at least one sensor component proximate to the rear door, an alert system, a memory in which program instructions are stored, and a processor operably connected to the alert system, the at least one sensor component, and the memory. The processor executes the program instructions to detect an object within a detection zone of the at least one sensor component relative to the rear door. The processor further activates the alert system in response to the object being within a predefined protection zone of the detection zone when the rear door is not moving.
