Adjust the instrument panel
brightness to make the image no
brighter than necessary. Turn the
image off by selecting another view
on the instrument cluster. The night
vision image brightness and contrast
can be adjusted individually using the
touchscreen to the left of the
instrument cluster.
Warm objects, such as pedestrians,
animals, and other moving vehicles,
should appear whiter on the Night
Vision display. Cold objects, such as
the sky, signs, and parked vehicles,
should appear darker. Night Vision
only shows objects that are warmer or
colder than the surroundings. It does
not detect brake lamps, turn signals,
emergency flashers, traffic lights,
or sign information.
Use this system as an aid by
occasionally glancing at the image. Do
not stare at the image or use the
image under well-lit conditions.{Warning
Do not stare at the image while
driving as this might cause
important objects ahead not to be
seen. You could crash, and you or
others could be injured.
When a pedestrian or large animal is
detected, a yellow box will be drawn
around it. With the vehicle moving
when the pedestrian or animal may be
in the vehicle path, an amber box
displays around the pedestrian or
animal on the Night Vision display
and an amber pedestrian icon,
~,
or animal icon,
!, displays on the
instrument cluster. This pedestrian
icon is also shown on the Head-Up
Display (HUD). When the system
detects the vehicle is approaching a
pedestrian or large animal too quickly,
the amber pedestrian icon or animal
icon and amber box turns red, and a
red flashing icon,
~or!, displays on
the HUD with rapid beeping or
pulsing of the Safety Alert Seat,
if equipped. System pedestrian icons, beeps, and
(if equipped) Safety Alert Seat pulses
can be set to Off through vehicle
personalization by turning off the
Front Pedestrian Braking system. See
“Front Pedestrian Detection
”in
“Collision/Detection Systems” under
Vehicle Personalization 0140.
{Warning
The Night Vision system does not
automatically brake the vehicle.
It does not provide alerts unless it
detects a pedestrian or large
animal. The system may not detect
pedestrians, including children,
or animals:
.If they are less than 25 m
(82 ft) away.
.If they are not directly ahead in
the sensor coverage area, fully
visible, standing upright, or part
of a group.
.If the person or animal is moving
too quickly through the field of
view, such as a bicyclist.

Night Vision Detection Unavailable
and icon
\is displayed when the
Night Vision system is unable to
detect pedestrians or animals. It may
be caused by high ambient
temperatures or other conditions. The
message can be dismissed and the
system does not need service. In rain, snow, or fog the image may
not be clear and the direction of the
road ahead may not be seen. In more
severe weather conditions, the image
may be unclear and unusable. The
system does not need service.
Keep the night vision camera clean by
activating the front windshield washer
five times when it is dark enough for
the system to operate. If the Night
Vision image still looks blurry, use a
soft wet cloth to gently clean the
sensor camera lens and dry
thoroughly. The night vision camera is
behind the lower front grille below the
driver side headlamp.
The camera must also be aligned to
work correctly. If the camera needs
adjustment, see your dealer. Do not
attempt to adjust the camera yourself.Side Blind Zone
Alert (SBZA)
If equipped, the SBZA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists drivers
with avoiding crashes that occur with
moving vehicles in the side blind
zone, or blind spot areas. When the
vehicle is in a forward gear, the left orright side mirror display will light up
if a moving vehicle is detected in that
blind zone. If the turn signal is
activated and a vehicle is also
detected on the same side, the display
will flash as an extra warning not to
change lanes. Since this system is part
of the Lane Change Alert (LCA)
system, read the entire LCA section
before using this feature.
Lane Change Alert (LCA)
If equipped, the Lane Change Alert
(LCA) system is a lane-changing aid
that can assist drivers with avoiding
lane change crashes with moving
vehicles in the side blind zone,
or blind spot areas or with vehicles
rapidly approaching these areas from
behind. When a vehicle is detected in
the blind zone, the LCA warning
display will light up in the
corresponding side mirror and will
flash if the turn signal is on. The Side
Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) system is
included as part of the LCA system.

328 DRIVING AND OPERATING
{Warning
LCA does not alert the driver to
vehicles outside of the system
detection zones, pedestrians,
bicyclists, or animals. It may not
provide alerts when changing lanes
under all driving conditions. 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.
LCA Detection Zones
1. SBZA Detection Zone
2. LCA Detection Zone
When towing a trailer, LCA feature is
disabled. When not towing a trailer,
the LCA 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. Drivers
are also warned of vehicles rapidly
approaching this area up to
approximately 70 m (230 ft) behind
the vehicle.
Extended Side Blind Zone Area
(ESBZA)
If equipped, the ESBZA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists drivers
with avoiding crashes that occur with
moving vehicles in the side blind
zone, or blind spot areas. The
extended side blind zone area adds
the blind zone area along the side of a
trailer that the host vehicle is pulling.
When the vehicle is in a forward gear,
the left or right side mirror display
will light up if a moving vehicle is
detected in that extended blind zone. If the turn signal is activated and a
vehicle is also detected on the same
side, the display will flash as an extra
warning not to change lanes. Since
this system is part of the Lane Change
Alert system, read the entire Lane
Change Alert section before using this
feature.
{Warning
ESBZA does not alert the driver to
vehicles outside of the system
detection zones, pedestrians,
bicyclists, or animals. It may not
provide alerts when changing lanes
under all driving conditions. 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.

The Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
warning area starts at approximately
the middle of the vehicle and goes
back 5 m (16 ft). The Extended Side
Blind Zone Alert (ESBZA) warning
area starts at approximately 3 m
(10 ft) to the trailing edge of the
vehicle and goes back up to 21 m
(69 ft) behind the vehicle. The
maximum trailer length is 12 m (39 ft).
How the System Works
The LCA/ESBZA symbol lights up in
the side mirrors when the system
detects a moving vehicle in the next
lane over that is in the extended side
blind zone. This indicates it may be
unsafe to change lanes. Before makinga lane change, check the SBZA
display, check mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use the turn
signals.
Left Side Mirror
DisplayRight Side Mirror Display
When the vehicle is started, both
outside mirror LCA/ESBZA displays
will briefly come on to indicate the
system is operating. When the vehicle
is in a forward gear, the left- or
right-side mirror display will light up
if a moving vehicle is detected in that
blind zone. If the turn signal is
activated in the same direction as a
detected vehicle, this display will flash
as an extra warning not to change
lanes.
LCA/ESBZA displays may not come on
when passing a vehicle quickly,
or when passing a stopped vehicle.
LCA/ESBZA may alert to objects
attached to the vehicle, such as a bicycle, or object extending out to
either side of the vehicle or trailer.
This is normal system operation; the
vehicle does not need service.
LCA/ESBZA can be disabled through
vehicle personalization. See
“Collision/
Detection Systems” underVehicle
Personalization 0140. If SBZA is
disabled by the driver, the ESBZA
mirror displays will not light up.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
LCA/ESBZA displays may not come on
when passing a vehicle quickly,
or when passing a stopped vehicle.
The LCA/ESBZA detection zones that
extend back from the side of the
vehicle do not move further back
when a trailer is towed. Use caution
while changing lanes when towing a
trailer. LCA/ESBZA may alert to
objects attached to the vehicle, such
as a trailer, bicycle, or object
extending out to either side of the
vehicle or trailer. This is normal
system operation; the vehicle does not
need service.

330 DRIVING AND OPERATING
LCA/ESBZA may not always alert the
driver to vehicles in the side blind
zone, especially in wet conditions. The
system does not need to be serviced.
The system may light up due to
guardrails, signs, trees, shrubs, and
other non-moving objects. This is
normal system operation; the vehicle
does not need service.
LCA/ESBZA may not operate when the
LCA/ESBZA sensors in the left or right
corners of the rear bumper are
covered with mud, dirt, snow, ice,
or slush, or in heavy rainstorms. For
cleaning instructions, see "Washing
the Vehicle" underExterior Care0444.
If the DIC displays the system
unavailable message after cleaning
both sides of the vehicle toward the
rear corners of the vehicle, see your
dealer.
If the DIC displays the system
unavailable message after cleaning
both sides of the vehicle toward the
rear corners of the vehicle, see your
dealer If the LCA/ESBZA displays do not
light up when vehicles are in the blind
zone and the system is clean, the
system may need service. Take the
vehicle to your dealer.
When ESBZA is disabled for any
reason other than the driver turning it
off, the Extended Side Blind Zone
Alert On option will not be available
on the personalization menu.
Driving with a Trailer
Although this system is intended to
help drivers avoid lane change
crashes, it does not replace driver
vision and therefore should be
considered a lane change aid. Even
with the ESBZA system, the driver
must check carefully for objects
outside of the reporting zone (e.g., a
fast approaching vehicle) or vehicle
along the side of the trailer before
changing lanes.
Use caution while changing lanes
when towing a trailer.
Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
If equipped, LKA may help avoid
crashes due to unintentional lane
departures. This system uses a camera
to detect lane markings. The LKA may
be ready to assist at speeds between
50 km/h (31 mph) and 180 km/h
(112 mph). LKA may assist by gently
turning the steering wheel if the
vehicle approaches a detected lane
marking. It may also provide a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) alert if the
vehicle crosses a detected lane
marking. This system is not intended
to keep the vehicle centered in the
lane. LKA will not assist and alert if
the turn signal is active in the
direction of lane departure, or if it
detects that you are accelerating,
braking or actively steering. LKA can
be overridden by turning the steering
wheel. If the system detects you are
steering intentionally across a lane
marker, the LDW will not be given. Do
not expect the LDW to occur when
you are intentionally crossing a lane
marker.

when LKA is disabled. On some
vehicles, a long press of over
three seconds is required to turn
LKA off.
When on,
Ais white, if equipped,
indicating that the system is not ready
to assist.
Ais green if LKA is ready
to assist. LKA may assist by gently
turning the steering wheel if the
vehicle approaches a detected lane
marking.
Ais amber when
assisting. It may also provide a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) alert by
flashing
Aamber if the vehicle
crosses a detected lane marking.
Additionally, there may be three
beeps, or the driver seat may pulse
three times, on the right or left,
depending on the lane departure
direction.
Take Steering
The LKA system does not
continuously steer the vehicle. If LKA
does not detect active driver steering,
an alert and chime may be provided.
Steer the vehicle to dismiss. LKA may
become temporarily unavailable after
repeated take steering alerts.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The system performance may be
affected by:
.Close vehicles ahead.
.Sudden lighting changes, such as
when driving through tunnels.
.Banked roads.
.Roads with poor lane markings,
such as two-lane roads.
If the LKA system is not functioning
properly when lane markings are
clearly visible, cleaning the windshield
may help.
A camera blocked message may
display if the camera is blocked. Some
driver assistance systems may have
reduced performance or not work at
all. An LKA or LDW unavailable
message may display if the systems
are temporarily unavailable. This
message could be due to a blocked
camera. The LKA system does not
need service. Clean the outside of the
windshield behind the rearview mirror. LKA assistance and/or LDW alerts
may occur due to tar marks, shadows,
cracks in the road, temporary or
construction lane markings, or other
road imperfections. This is normal
system operation; the vehicle does not
need service. Turn LKA off if these
conditions continue.Fuel
