Side Blind Zone
Alert (SBZA)

to vehicles located in the vehicle's
side blind zone. When the system
detects a vehicle in the side blind
zone, the SBZA display will light up
in the corresponding outside side
mirror. The system 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
service.

Camera (RVC)

of the area behind the vehicle on
the navigation screen when the
vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse).

navigation screen will go back to the
last screen that had been displayed,
after a delay.
