Systems and methods of alerting an occupant of a vehicle to an obstacle to a side of the vehicle. The systems and methods include receiving turn indicating data from at least one vehicle system, receiving perception data from a perception system of the vehicle, predicting a vehicle turn based on the turn predicting data, generating an obstacle alert, which is output through an output device of the vehicle, when an obstacle is detected within a first sized detection zone or a second sized detection zone using the perception data, and switching from using the first sized detection zone to using the second sized detection zone for generating the obstacle alert in response to predicting the vehicle turn. The second sized detection zone is extended as compared to the first sized detection zone.
