Blind Spot Monitoring System
The system may not operate normally when towing a trailer.
Turn off the system by operating the BSM OFF switch when
towing a trailer.
The radar sensors do not detect human, animal, or static
objects such as fences. In addition, the system pauses when
the selector lever is shifted to the R position. (The system
resumes automatically when the selector lever is shifted from
the R position.)
The detectability of the radar sensors has its limitations. The
BSM system may not operate properly under the following
conditions:
- Ice, snow, or soil adheres to the rear bumper surface around
the radar sensors.
- During adverse weather conditions such as rain or snow, or
under conditions where water is sprayed.
- The rear bumper area around the radar sensors is blocked
by foreign material (such as stickers or a bicycle carrier).
The radar sensors may not detect all types of vehicles around
your vehicle, especially the following types of vehicles:
- Motorcycles.
- Vehicles with body shapes that radar may not reflect such
as a flatbed trailer with no cargo.
- Vehicles with lower body height such as sports cars.
Have the radar sensors inspected at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer if any shock is applied to the rear bumper, even in a
minor accident. If the vehicle is driven with a damaged radar
sensor, the system may not operate properly resulting in an
accident.
For repairs or paint work around the radar sensors, or
replacement of the bumper, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
The following conditions may affect the visibility of the BSM
warning lights on the outside mirror, making it difficult to
confirm the illumination of the lights:
- Ice or snow adheres to the surface of the outside mirrors.
- The door window glass is darkened.
BSM Precautions
The radar sensors of the BSM system may be regulated under
the radio wave related laws of the country where the vehicle
is driven. The sensors in this system are approved for use in the
U.S.A. (including territories), Canada, and Mexico. If a vehicle
with BSM system is driven in a country other than the U.S.A.,
Canada, or Mexico, the system has to be turned off using the
BSM OFF switch.
The detection area of the system has been determined based
on the lane width of general freeways. Therefore on a road
with a narrower lane width, the system may detect vehicles
on a lane next to the adjacent lane and operate the warning
light/beep. On a road with wider lane width, the system may
not detect vehicles on the adjacent lane and may not operate
the warning light/beep.
Operation of the warning light/beep may be delayed or the
system may not operate the warning light/beep under the
following conditions:
- The vehicle accelerates from a standing-start with a vehicle
alongside
- A vehicle moves from a lane two lanes over to the adjacent
lane.
- The difference in vehicle speed between your vehicle and
another vehicle is larger when passing or being passed,
and the vehicle passes the detection area within a short
period of time.
- On a steep incline, or when there is a difference in height
between lanes.
- Immediately after the system has been activated by pressing
the BSM OFF switch again after it has been turned off
(BSM OFF indicator light in instrument panel illuminates)
by pressing the switch.
Although the system may detect objects on the road side such
as parked vehicles or guardrails and operate the warning light/
beep, it does not indicate a malfunction.
If the vehicle is driven on a road with less traffic and few
vehicles that the radar sensors can detect, the system may
pause (The BSM OFF indicator light in the instrument panel
flashes). However, it does not indicate a malfunction.
