Side Blind Zone

Alert (SBZA)

The vehicle may have a Side Blind
Zone Alert (SBZA) system. Read
this entire section before using the
system.
WARNING
SBZA is only a lane changing
aid and does not replace driver
vision. SBZA does not detect:
Vehicles outside the side
blind zones which may be
rapidly approaching.
Pedestrians, bicyclists,
or animals.
WARNING (Continued)
Failure to use proper care when
changing lanes may result in
damage to the vehicle, injury,
or death. Always check the
outside and rearview mirrors,
glance over your shoulder,
and use the turn signal before
changing lanes.
When the system detects a vehicle
in the side blind zone, amber SBZA
displays light up in the side mirrors.
This indicates that it may be unsafe
to change lanes. Before making a
lane change, always check the
SBZA display, check the outside
(Continued)
and rearview mirrors, look over your
shoulder for vehicles and hazards,
and use the turn signal.

SBZA Detection Zones

The SBZA sensor covers a zone of
approximately one lane over from
both sides of the vehicle, 3.5 m
(11 ft). This zone starts at each side
mirror and goes back approximately
5.0 m (16 ft). The height of the
zone is approximately between
0.5 m (1.5 ft) and 2.0 m (6 ft) off
the ground.
Use caution while changing lanes
when towing a trailer, as the SBZA
detection zones do not change
when a trailer is towed.
