General Information
SGA provides assistance on the passenger-side of the vehicle while turning and changing lanes. SGA monitors the area on the passenger-side of the vehicle using two short range radar sensors. The radar sensors are mounted close to the rear of the passenger footsteps as shown in Fig.. close to the rear of the passenger footsteps. The optional enhancement, ASGA, enables the brakes to automatically activate in certain low-speed passenger-side turns.

A triangular warning lamp in the A-pillar is located near the side mirror. This lamp shown in Fig.. lights up to inform the driver that an object has been detected in the monitored area. An additional warning tone sounds if there is a risk of collision.

The ASGA engages at speeds less than 12 mph (19 km/h). If SGA detects a critical moving object in the sensor monitoring area along the side of the truck during a passenger-side turn, the ASGA automatically applies the brakes.
