Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert† can provide side-mirror visual alerts when a detected moving vehicle is quickly approaching or is in your side blind zone. It can help you avoid lane change collisions.
How It Works
- A yellow warning symbol will light up on the sideview mirror on the side where the system has detected the vehicle
- If you turn on your turn signal in that direction, this warning symbol will flash as an extra warning to not change lanes
How to Turn Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert Off
You can turn off Lane Change Alert from your infotainment system screen in the Vehicle Personalization menu.
The on or off setting you’ve chosen for this system will stay the same once you shut the vehicle down and start it again, so if you’ve turned Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert off and want to use it again, you’ll need to remember to turn it back on.
