9-34 Driving and Operating
When the System Does Not Seem
To Work Properly
Missed alerts can occur under
normal circumstances and will
increase in wet conditions. The
system does not need to be
serviced. SBZA is designed to
ignore stationary objects; however,
the system may occasionally light
up due to guard rails, signs, trees,
shrubs, and other stationary objects.
This is normal system operation, the
vehicle does not need service.
If the SBZA displays do not light up
when the system is on and vehicles
are in the blind zone, the system
may need service. Take the vehicle
to your dealer.
SBZA does not operate when the
SBZA sensors in the left or right
corners of the rear bumper are
covered with mud, dirt, snow, ice,
slush, or in heavy rainstorms. For
cleaning instructions, see Washing
the Vehicle under Exterior Care on
page 10 73. If the DIC still displays
the SIDE DETECTION SYS
TEMPORARILY OFF message after
cleaning the bumper, see your
dealer.
The SBZA displays may remain on
if a trailer is attached to the vehicle,
or a bicycle or object is extending
out to either side of the vehicle.
When SBZA is disabled for any
reason other than the driver turning
it off, it cannot be turned back on.
The SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT ON
option will not be selectable if the
conditions for normal system
operation are not met.
SBZA Error Messages
The following messages may
appear in the DIC:
SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT
SYSTEM OFF: This message
indicates that the driver has turned
the system off.
SIDE DETECTION SYS
TEMPORARILY OFF: This
message indicates that the SBZA
system is disabled either because
the sensor cannot detect vehicles in
your blind zone, or the vehicle is
passing through an open field of
view area, such as the desert,
where there is insufficient data for
operation. This message may also
activate during heavy rain or due to
road spray. The vehicle does not
need service. For cleaning, see
Washing the Vehicle under
Exterior Care on page 10 73.
SERVICE SIDE DETECTION
SYSTEM: If this message appears,
both SBZA displays will remain on
indicating there is a problem with
the SBZA system. If these displays
remain on after continued driving,
the system needs service. Take the
vehicle to your dealer.
