This indicates that it may be unsafe for you 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
start the turn signal. SBZA Detection Zones
The SBZA sensor covers a zone of approximately
one lane over from both sides of the vehicle,
11 ft. or 3.5 m. This zone starts at each side mirror
and goes back approximately 16 ft. (5.0 m). The height
of the zone is approximately between 1.5 ft. (0.5 m)
and 6 ft. (2.0 m) off the ground.
The SBZA detection zones do not change if your
vehicle is towing a trailer. So be extra careful when
changing lanes while towing a trailer.
