Side Blind Zone

Alert (SBZA)

If equipped, the SBZA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists
drivers with avoiding crashes that
occur with vehicles in the side blind
zone (or spot) areas. When the
vehicle is in a forward gear, the left
or right side mirror display will light
up if a moving vehicle is detected in
that blind zone. If the indicator is
activated and a vehicle is also
detected on the same side, the
display will flash as an extra
warning not to change lanes. Since
this system is part of the Lane
Change Alert system, read the
entire Lane Change Alert section
before using this feature.

Lane Change Alert (LCA)

If equipped, the LCA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists
drivers with avoiding lane change
crashes that occur with vehicles in
the side blind zone (or spot) areas
or with vehicles rapidly approaching
these areas from behind. The LCA
warning display will light up in the
corresponding outside side mirror
and will flash if the indicator is on.
Warning
LCA does not alert the driver to
vehicles outside of the system
detection zones, pedestrians,
bicyclists, or animals. It may not
provide alerts when changing
lanes under all driving conditions.
Warning (Continued)
Failure to use proper care when
changing lanes may result in
injury, death, or vehicle damage.
Before making a lane change,
always check mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use the
indicators.
