does not need to be serviced.
The system may light up due
to guardrails, signs, trees,
shrubs, and other non-moving
objects. This is normal system
operation; the vehicle does not
need service.
LCA may not operate when
the LCA sensors in the left or
right corners of the rear
bumper are covered with mud,
dirt, snow, ice, or slush, or in
heavy rainstorms. For cleaning
instructions, see "Washing the
Vehicle" under Exterior Care
0364. If the DIC still displays
the system unavailable
message after cleaning both
sides of the vehicle toward the
rear corners of the vehicle,
see your dealer.
If the LCA displays do not light
up when moving vehicles are
in the side blind zone or rapidly
approaching this zone and the
system is clean, the system
may need service. Take the
vehicle to your dealer.Blind Zone Steering
Assist (BZSA)
If equipped, the Blind Zone
Steering Assist (BZSA) system
can detect a potential crash
with a moving vehicle in the
lane you are entering.
It provides a brief, urgent turn
of the steering wheel to alert
you to take action to avoid a
collision.
BZSA works with the Lane
Keep Assist (LKA). BZSA
operates when the vehicle is in
a forward gear, and only when
LKA is enabled and able to
assist. See Lane Keep Assist
(LKA) 0280.
BZSA will provide a steering
correction when your vehicle
is about to leave the current
lane of travel, with the
possibility of a collision with a
vehicle in the adjacent lane.
This steering correction
happens closer to the center
of the lane and has a stronger
steering correction than LKA. Unlike LKA, the steering
correction with BSZA will
happen even if your turn signal
is on in the direction of lane
departure.
In addition to the BZSA
steering intervention, the
A
will turn amber, six beeps or
six seat pulses will occur,
if equipped with Safety Alert
Seat, and
8or|will
flash on the outside rear view
mirror.
{Warning
Do not rely on Blind Zone
Steering Assist (BZSA) to
prevent crashes. This
system does not replace
the need to pay attention
and drive safely. Failure to
use proper care when
driving may result in
vehicle damage, injury,
or death.

Warning (Continued)
If LKA only detects lane
markings on one side of the
road, it will only assist or
provide an LDW alert when
approaching the lane on the
side where it has detected a
lane marking. Even with LKA
and LDW, you must steer
the vehicle. Always keep
your attention on the road
and maintain proper vehicle
position within the lane,
or vehicle damage, injury,
or death could occur. Always
keep the windshield,
headlamps, and camera
sensors clean and in good
repair. Do not use LKA in
bad weather conditions or
on roads with unclear lane
markings, such as
construction zones.
{Warning
Using LKA on slippery roads
could cause loss of control
of the vehicle and a crash.
Turn the system off.
{Warning
LKA will not alert the driver
if a towed trailer crosses
into an adjacent lane of
travel. Serious injury or
property damage may occur
if the trailer moves into
another lane. Always
monitor the trailer position
while towing to make sure it
is within the same lane as
the tow vehicle.
How the System Works
LKA uses a camera sensor
installed on the windshield
ahead of the rearview mirror
to detect lane markings. It may
provide brief steering assist if
it detects an unintended lanedeparture. It may further
provide an audible alert or the
driver seat may pulse
indicating that a lane marking
has been crossed. The system
does not provide a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW)
when intentionally steering
across a lane marker.
To turn LKA on and off, press
non the center console.
If equipped, the indicator light
on the button comes on when
LKA is on and turns off when
LKA is disabled. On some
vehicles, a long press of over
three seconds is required to
turn LKA off.
When on,

(LDW) alert by flashingn
amber if the vehicle crosses a
detected lane marking.
Additionally, there may be
three beeps, or the driver seat
may pulse three times, on the
right or left, depending on the
lane departure direction.
Take Steering
The LKA system does not
continuously steer the vehicle.
If LKA does not detect active
driver steering, an alert and
chime may be provided. Steer
the vehicle to dismiss. LKA
may become temporarily
unavailable after repeated
take steering alerts.
When the System Does
Not Seem to Work
Properly
The system performance may
be affected by:
.Close vehicles ahead
.Sudden lighting changes,
such as when driving
through tunnels
.Banked roads
.Roads with poor lane
markings, such as two-lane
roads
If the LKA system is not
functioning properly when lane
markings are clearly visible,
cleaning the windshield
may help.
A camera blocked message
may display if the camera is
blocked. Some driver
assistance systems may have
reduced performance or not
work at all. An LKA or LDW
unavailable message may
display if the systems are
temporarily unavailable. This
message could be due to a
blocked camera. The LKA
system does not need service.
Clean the outside of the
windshield behind the
rearview mirror.
LKA assistance and/or LDW
alerts may occur due to tar
marks, shadows, cracks in the
road, temporary or
construction lane markings, or other road imperfections.
This is normal system
operation; the vehicle does not
need service. Turn LKA off if
these conditions continue.
Surround Vision
Recorder
If equipped, this system
records the 360° camera
views to an SD card. Only
images are recorded, no
sound. An SD card will be
needed for this system. The
minimum recommended SD
card specifications are at least
64GB with exFAT file system,
Class V30 or greater.

If TSC is enabled, the Traction
Control System (TCS)/
StabiliTrak warning light will
flash on the instrument
cluster. Reduce vehicle speed
by gradually removing your
foot from the accelerator.
If trailer sway continues,
StabiliTrak can help slow the
vehicle down. TSC will not
function if StabiliTrak is turned
off. See Traction Control/
Electronic Stability Control
0221.
{Warning
Trailer sway can result in a
crash and in serious injury or
death, even if the vehicle is
equipped with TSC.
If the trailer begins to sway,
reduce vehicle speed by
gradually removing your foot
from the accelerator. Then
pull over to check the trailer
and vehicle to help correct
possible causes, including an

trailer, unrestrained cargo,
improper trailer hitch
configuration, or improperly
inflated or incorrect vehicle
or trailer tires. See Towing
Equipment0303 for trailer
ratings and hitch setup
recommendations.
Trailer Tires
Special Trailer (ST) tires differ
from vehicle tires. Trailer tires
are designed with stiff
sidewalls to help prevent sway
and to support heavy loads.
These features can make it
difficult to determine if the
trailer tire pressures are low
only based on a visual
inspection.
Always check all trailer tire
pressures before each trip
when the tires are cool. Low
trailer tire pressure is a
leading cause of trailer tire
blow-outs. Trailer tires deteriorate over
time. The trailer tire sidewall
will show the week and year
the tire was manufactured.
Many trailer tire
manufacturers recommend
replacing tires more than six
years old.
Overloading is another leading
cause of trailer tire blow-outs.
Never load your trailer with
more weight than the tires are
designed to support. The load
rating is located on the trailer
tire sidewall.
Always know the maximum
speed rating for the trailer
tires before driving. This may
be significantly lower than the
vehicle tire speed rating. The
speed rating may be on the
trailer tire sidewall. If the
speed rating is not shown, the
default trailer tire speed rating
is 105 km/h (65 mph).
