Object Detection Description and Operation (UFT): Notes

The side blind zone alert system is designed to detect vehicles or other objects that may be located in the vehicles blind spots. This detection is performed by two side object sensors, located behind the rear fascia on each side of the vehicle. When an object is detected in a blind spot, an indicator in the outside rearview mirror will illuminate, notifying the driver that it is unsafe to change lanes.

The side blind zone alert system is made up of the following components:

• Left side object sensor
• Right side object sensor
• Driver outside rearview mirror
• Passenger outside rearview mirror
