About Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert

If your vehicle has this available feature, Lane Change Alert* with Side Blind Zone Alert provides visual side-mirror alerts when a moving vehicle is detected either quickly approaching or already in your side blind zone. It can help you avoid lane change collisions.

• An amber 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.

The alert symbols look like this:

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.

• Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert only provides alerts. It does not operate the brakes or steer your vehicle.
  
• You should always check your mirrors, glance over your shoulder and use turn signals before changing lanes.
• Use your turn signal every time you change lanes. If there’s a vehicle in your blind zone, the alert system is designed to flash a warning on that side.
• Always be prepared to avoid vehicles in your blind zone, even when you don’t see a warning.
• The system may light up a warning indicator due to guardrails, signs, trees, shrubs and other non-moving objects. This is normal operation.
• Under bad weather or poor visibility conditions, the system might not function as intended. Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert uses sensors in the rear bumper to detect vehicles in your blind spot. Keep the sensor areas clear of obstructions such as dirt or snow to keep the system working properly.
