TSBZA Detection Zones
1. SBZA Detection Zone
2. TSBZA Detection Zone
3. LCA Detection Zone
The Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) warning
area starts at approximately the middle of
the vehicle and goes back 5 m (16 ft). The
Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert (TSBZA) warning
area starts at approximately 3 m (10 ft) to
the trailing edge of the vehicle and goes
back up to 21 m (69 ft) behind the vehicle.
The maximum trailer length is 12 m (39 ft).
How the System Works
The LCA/TSBZA symbol lights up in the side
mirrors when the system detects a moving
vehicle in the next lane over that is in the
trailer side blind zone. This indicates it may
be unsafe to change lanes. Before making a
lane change, check the SBZA display, check
mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and use
the turn signals.
Left Side Mirror Right Side Mirror
Display
When the vehicle is started, both outside
mirror LCA/TSBZA displays will briefly come
on to indicate the system is operating.
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 in the
same direction as a detected vehicle, this
display will flash as an extra warning not to
change lanes.
LCA/TSBZA displays may not come on when
passing a vehicle quickly, or when passing a
stopped vehicle. LCA/TSBZA may alert to
objects attached to the vehicle, such as a
bicycle, or object extending out to either
side of the vehicle or trailer. This is normal
system operation; the vehicle does not need
service.
Driving and Operating
LCA/TSBZA can be disabled through vehicle
settings. To view available settings from the
infotainment screen, touch Settings >
Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems.
If SBZA is disabled by the driver, the TSBZA
mirror displays will not light up.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Display
Work Properly
LCA/TSBZA displays may not come on when
passing a vehicle quickly, or when passing a
stopped vehicle. The LCA/TSBZA detection
zones that extend back from the side of the
vehicle do not move further back when a
trailer is towed. Use caution while changing
lanes when towing a trailer. LCA/TSBZA may
alert to objects attached to the vehicle, such
as a trailer, bicycle, or object extending out
to either side of the vehicle or trailer. This is
normal system operation; the vehicle does
not need service.
LCA/TSBZA may not always alert the driver
to vehicles in the side blind zone, especially
in wet conditions. The system does not need
to be serviced. The system may light up due
to guardrails, signs, trees, shrubs, and other
non-moving objects. This is normal system
operation; the vehicle does not need service.
