See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 5‑28 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. 9-63 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.
