Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)

~1min read

The vehicle may have a Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) system. Read this entire section before using the system.

When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone, amber SBZA displays will light up in the side mirrors. This indicates that it may be unsafe to change lanes.

Before making a lane change, always check the SBZA display, check the outside and rearview mirrors, look over your shoulder for vehicles and hazards, and use the turn signal.
