Side Blind Zone; Alert (Sbza) - GMC Yukon 2015 Owner's Manual

Warning (Continued)
Complete attention is always
required while driving, and you
should be ready to take action
and apply the brakes and/or steer
the vehicle to avoid crashes.
Brake Preparation
When quickly approaching a vehicle
ahead, Brake Preparation reduces
brake response time by having the
brake system prepared for driver
braking to occur more rapidly.
Automatic Braking
If ACP detects it is about to crash
with the vehicle you are following
that is moving or has come to a
stop, and the brakes have not been
applied, it may automatically brake
hard. This can help to reduce crash
damage and it may even help to
avoid some very low speed crashes.
Automatic Braking may slow the
vehicle to a complete stop to try to
avoid a potential crash. The vehicle
will only hold at a stop briefly. A firm
press of the accelerator pedal will
also release Automatic Braking.
Warning
Automatic Braking may
automatically brake the vehicle
suddenly in situations where it is
unexpected and undesired.
It could respond to a turning
vehicle ahead, guardrails, signs,
and other non-moving objects. To
override Automatic Braking, firmly
press the accelerator pedal, if it is
safe to do so.
Automatic Braking can be disabled
or reduced through vehicle
personalization. See the Auto
Collision Preparation portion of
Collision/Detection Systems under
Vehicle Personalization on
page 5-43.
Driving and Operating
Warning
Using the Automatic Collision
Preparation System while towing
a trailer could cause you to lose
control of the vehicle and crash.
Turn the system off when towing
a trailer.

Side Blind Zone

Alert (SBZA)

If equipped, the SBZA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists
drivers with avoiding crashes that
occur with moving 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 turn signal 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
9-65
