SAFETY

Introduced on select 2009 Chevrolet vehicles, this technology is designed to help alert drivers so they avoid lane changes with vehicles in the "side blind zone." Alternating radar beams in the system sweep adjacent lanes of traffic, covering a zone of about one lane over from both sides of the vehicle. When the system detects a vehicle in the "side blind zone," an amber display lights-up on the vehicle's outside side rearview mirror.

Before making a lane change, always check the Side Blind Zone Alert display, check the side and inside rear mirrors, look over your shoulder for vehicles and hazards, and start the turn signal.
