Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban Owner Manual - 2011

9-60 Driving and Operating

Side Blind Zone

Alert (SBZA)

The vehicle may have a Side Blind

Zone Alert (SBZA) system. Read

this entire section before using the

system.

{

WARNING

SBZA is only a lane changing aid

and does not replace driver

vision. SBZA does not detect:

.

Vehicles outside the side

blind zones which may be

rapidly approaching.

.

Pedestrians, bicyclists,

or animals.

Failure to use proper care when

changing lanes may result in

damage to the vehicle, injury,

or death. Always check the

outside and rearview mirrors,

glance over your shoulder, and

use the turn signal before

changing lanes.

When the system detects a vehicle

in the side blind zone, amber SBZA

displays 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.

SBZA Detection Zones

The SBZA sensor covers a zone

of approximately one lane over

from both sides of the vehicle,

3.5 m (11 ft). This zone starts at

each side mirror and goes back

approximately 5.0 m (16 ft). The

height of the zone is approximately

between 0.5 m (1.5 ft) and

2.0 m (6 ft) off the ground.

Use caution while changing lanes

when towing a trailer, as the SBZA

detection zones do not change

when a trailer is towed.

How the System Works

zone. If the turn signal is activated
