Driving and operating 159
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
turn signals.
SBZA detection zones
The SBZA sensor covers a zone of
approximately one lane over from
both sides of the vehicle, or 3.5 m
(11 ft). The height of the zone is
approximately between 0.5 m (1.5 ft)
and 2 m (6 ft) off the ground.
Side Blind Zone Alert
(SBZA)
The vehicle may have Side Blind
Zone Alert (SBZA).
SBZA is a lane-changing aid that
assists drivers avoiding crashes that
occur with moving vehicles in the
side blind zone (or spot) areas.
The SBZA warning display will light
up in the corresponding outside side
mirror and will ash if the turn signal
is on.
Warning
SBZA does not alert the driver
to vehicles rapidly approaching
outside of the side blind zones,
pedestrians, bicyclists, or
animals. It may not provide alerts
when changing lanes under all
driving conditions.
This zone starts at approximately the
middle of the vehicle and goes back
5 m (16 ft).
How the system works
The SBZA symbol lights up in
the side mirrors when the system
detects a moving vehicle in the
next lane over that is in the 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.
