Side Blind Zone

to vehicles located in the vehicle's
side blind zone. When the system
detects a vehicle in the side blind
zone, an amber SBZA display will
light up in the corresponding outside
side mirror.
The system is enabled at every
vehicle startup. It can be disabled
through the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
If the message SIDE BLIND ZONE
SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE appears
on the DIC, the system has been
disabled because the sensor is
blocked and cannot detect vehicles
in the blind zone. The sensor may
be blocked by mud, dirt, snow, ice,
slush, or even heavy rainstorms. This message may also activate
during heavy rain or due to road
spray. The vehicle does not need
