The mirrors are accidentally obstructed while
folding. .
They are accidentally manually folded/unfolded. .
The mirrors will not stay in the unfolded position. .
The mirrors vibrate at normal driving speeds.
Fold and unfold the mirrors one time using the mirror
controls to reset them to their normal position.
A popping noise may be heard during the resetting of
the power foldaway mirrors. This sound is normal after
a manual folding operation.
Automatic Dimming Adjust the driver outside mirror for the glare of the
headlamps behind your vehicle. See Automatic
Dimming Rearview Mirror
on page 3 ‑ 43 for more
information.
Turn Signal Indicator The vehicle has a turn signal indicator on the mirror. An
arrow on the mirror flashes in the direction of the turn or
lane change. Ground Illumination Lamps The mirrors may also include ground illumination lamps

area near the base of the front doors when it is
dark out.
Park Tilt Mirrors If the vehicle has the memory package, the passenger
and/or driver mirror tilts to a preselected position when
the vehicle is in R (Reverse). This feature lets the driver

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.
3-48

Black plate (49,1)Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV Owner Manual - 2010
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 16 ft. (5.0 m). 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
Left Side Mirror Display Right Side Mirror Display
When the vehicle is started, both outside mirror
displays will briefly come on to indicate that the system
is operating. When the vehicle is moving forward, the
left or right side mirror SBZA display will light up if a
vehicle is detected in that blind zone. If the turn signal is activated and a vehicle is also
detected on the same side, the SBZA display will flash
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 32 km/h (20 mph), 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). See Driver Information Center (DIC)
on
page 4 ‑ 41 for 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.
