warning BUICK ENCLAVE 2008 User Guide

How the System Works
When the vehicle is started, both outside mirror displays
will briey come on to indicate that the system is
operating. While driving forward, the left or right side
mirror SBZA display will light up if a vehicle is detected
in that blind zone. If you activate a turn signal and a
vehicle has been detected on the same side, the SBZA
display will ash to give you extra warning not to
change lanes.
SBZA displays do not come on while the vehicle is
approaching or passing other vehicles. At speeds greater
then 20 mph (32 km/h), SBZA displays may come on
when a vehicle you have passed remains in or drops
back into the detection zone.SBZA can be disabled through the Driver Information
Center (DIC). SeeDriver Information Center (DIC)
on page 3-49for more information. If the SBZA
is disabled by the driver, the SBZA mirror displays will
not light up during normal driving.
When the System Does Not Seem To Work
Properly
Occasional missed alerts can occur under normal
circumstances and will increase in wet conditions.
The system does not need to be serviced due to an
occasional missed alert. The number of missed
alerts will increase with increased rainfall or road spray.
If the SBZA displays do not light up when the system
is on and vehicles are in the blind zone, the system may
need service. Take the vehicle to your dealer/retailer.
SBZA is designed to ignore stationary objects; however,
the system may occasionally light up due to guard
rails, signs, trees, shrubs, and other stationary objects.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
The vehicle may have a Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
system. Read this entire section before using the
system.
{CAUTION:
The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system does
not steer the vehicle and is only an aid to help you
stay in your driving lane. The LDW system may not:
Provide you with enough time to avoid a lane
change collision.
Be loud enough for you to hear the warning
beeps.
Work properly under bad weather conditions or
if the windshield is not kept clean.
Detect lane markings and will not detect road
edges.
Warn you that your vehicle is crossing a lane
marking if the system does not detect the lane
marking.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
LDW will indicate the system is working whenever
it detects either the left or right lane marking. So if
you depart on the side of the lane that LDW is not
detecting, LDW will not warn you.
If you do not carefully maintain your vehicle
position within the lane, vehicle damage, injury, or
death could occur. Even with LDW, always keep
your attention on the road and maintain proper
vehicle position within the lane. Always keep the
windshield clean and do not use LDW in bad
weather conditions.
When the vehicle crosses a detected lane marking, the
LDW symbol will ash and you will hear three beeps.
LDW will not warn you if the turn signal is on or if
you make a sharp maneuver. Before making a lane
change, check the vehicle’s mirrors, glance over your
shoulder for vehicles and hazards, and start the
turn signal before changing lanes.

How the System Works
LDW uses a camera located between the inside
rearview mirror and the windshield to detect the lane
markings.
@(Lane Departure Warning):To turn LDW on and
off, press the LDW control, located by the exterior
headlamp control. An indicator on the control will light
to indicate that LDW is on.
When the vehicle is
started, the LDW symbol,
located in the instrument
panel cluster, will briey
come on to indicate that
the light is operational.LDW only operates at speeds of 35 mph (56 km) or
greater. If LDW is turned on when traveling at these
speeds, the LDW symbol will appear green if the system
detects a left or right lane marking. This symbol will
change to amber and ash and three beeps will sound if
you cross a detected lane marking without using the
turn signal.
If the LDW symbol does not appear, LDW is not
currently operating and will not warn you.
To change the volume of the warning chime, see Chime
Volume underDIC Vehicle Customization on page 3-66
for more information.
2-45

When the System Does Not Seem To Work
Properly
The LDW symbol will not appear when the system is
having difficulty seeing the lines on the road or if the view
of the camera on the windshield is blocked with mud, dirt,
snow, ice, or slush, if the windshield is damaged, or when
weather limits visibility, such as while driving in fog, rain,
or snow conditions. This is normal operation, the vehicle
does not need service. For cleaning instructions, see
Washing Your Vehicle on page 5-96.
LDW warnings may occasionally occur due to tar marks,
shadows, cracks in the road, or other road imperfections.
This is normal system operation, the vehicle does not
need service.
LDW Error Message
SERVICE LANE DEPARTURE SYSTEM:This
message may appear in the DIC to indicate that LDW is
not working properly. If this message remains on after
continued driving, the system needs service. Take your
vehicle to your dealer/retailer.
LANE DEPARTURE SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE:This
message may appear in the DIC if LDW does not
activate due to a temporary condition.
