Driving and Operating
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.
The SBZA detection zones do not
change if the vehicle is towing a
trailer. So be extra careful when
changing lanes while towing a
trailer.
How the System Works
Left Side Mirror
Display
Right Side Mirror
Display
When the vehicle is started, both
outside mirror displays will briefly
come on to indicate that the system
is operating. While driving forward,
the left or right side mirror SBZA
display will light up if a vehicle is
detected in that blind zone. If you
activate a turn signal and a vehicle
has been detected on the same
side, the SBZA display will flash to
give you extra warning not to
change lanes.
SBZA displays do not come on
while the vehicle is approaching or
passing other vehicles. At speeds
greater than 32 km/h (20 mph),
SBZA displays may come on when
a vehicle you have passed remains
in or drops back into the
detection zone.
SBZA can be disabled through
Vehicle Personalization. See
Vehicle Personalization on
page 4
for more information.
If the SBZA is disabled by the
driver, the SBZA mirror displays will
not light up during normal driving.
