The SBZA detection zones do not change if the vehicle
is towing a trailer. So be extra careful when changing
lanes while towing a trailer.
How the System Works
Left Side Mirror DisplayRight 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. When the turn signal is
used and a vehicle has been 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.
I(SBZA): To turn SBZA on or off, press the
CONFIG hard key located on the navigation radio,
then press
I. See “Configure Menu” in the index
of the Navigation System manual. The symbol will be
highlighted when the feature is active. If SBZA is
disabled by the driver, the SBZA mirror displays will
not light up.
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.
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. This
is normal system operation, the vehicle does not need
service.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
If the vehicle has the LDW system. Read this entire
section before using the system.
{WARNING:
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.(Continued)
WARNING: (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 flash and you will hear three beeps.
LDW will not warn you if the turn signal is on or if the
vehicle makes a sharp maneuver. Before making a lane
change, check the vehicle's mirrors, glance over your
shoulder for vehicles and hazards, and turn on the turn
signal before changing lanes.

Black plate (48,1)Cadillac STS Owner Manual - 2011
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 or off,
press the CONFIG hard key located on the navigation
radio, then press
@. See “Configure Menu” in the index
of the Navigation System manual. The symbol will be
highlighted when the feature is active.
When the vehicle is started, the LDW symbol that is
located in the instrument panel cluster will briefly 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 flash and three beeps will
sound if you cross a detected lane marking without
using the turn signal.
LDW is not currently operating and will not warn you if
the LDW symbol does not appear.
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 6‑109.
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.

Vehicle Personalization
The vehicle has personalization that allows you to
program certain features to a preferred setting for
up to two drivers. The back of the keyless access
transmitters are labelled 1 or 2. Additional keyless
access transmitters programmed to the vehicle,
as 3 and/or 4, do not have a number on the back and
are not capable of being personalized. The number of
programmable features varies depending upon which
vehicle options are purchased.
On all vehicles, features such as climate control
settings, radio and XM™preset settings, exterior
lighting at unlock and remote lock unlock confirmation,
and language have already been programmed. Your
vehicle also has an automatic door locking feature
that is always on. You cannot turn the automatic door
locking feature off. See Programmable Automatic Door
Locks on page 3‑14.

programmed including the seat, steering column, and
outside rearview mirror position.

personalization features, the driver's preferences are
recalled by pressing any button on the keyless access
transmitter, 1 or 2, by selecting Driver 1 or 2 on the radio
display, or when a valid keyless access transmitter is
detected upon opening the driver's door.

detected upon opening the driver's door, the driver
preferences for the lowest driver number will be
recalled.
Certain features can be programmed not to recall until
the ignition is turned off.
