NOTE
     
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) will operate when all of the following conditions are
met:
     
The ignition is switched ON.
     
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator light in the instrument cluster is
turned off.
     
The vehicle speed is about 10 km/h (6.3 mph) or faster.
     
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) will not operate under the following circumstances.
     
The vehicle speed falls below about 10 km/h (6.3 mph) even though the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator light is turned off.
     
The selector lever is shifted to reverse (R) and the vehicle is reversing.
     
The turning radius is small (making a sharp turn, turning at intersections).
     
In the following cases, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator light turns on and
operation of the system is stopped. If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator
light remains illuminated, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer as
soon as possible.
     
Some problem with the system including the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning
indicator lights is detected.
     
A large deviation in the installation position of a radar sensor (rear) on the vehicle has
occurred.
     
There is a large accumulation of snow or ice on the rear bumper near a radar sensor
(rear). Remove any snow, ice or mud on the rear bumper.
     
Driving on snow-covered roads for long periods.
     
The temperature near the radar sensors (rear) becomes extremely hot due to driving
for long periods on slopes during the summer.
     
The battery voltage has decreased.
     
Under the following conditions, the radar sensors (rear) cannot detect target objects or it
may be dif
fi
cult to detect them.
     
A vehicle is in the detection area at the rear in an adjacent driving lane but it does not
approach. The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) determines the condition based on radar
detection data.
     
A vehicle is traveling alongside your vehicle at nearly the same speed for an extended
period of time.
     
Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.
     
A vehicle in an adjacent driving lane is attempting to pass your vehicle.
     
A vehicle is in an adjacent lane on a road with extremely wide driving lanes. The
detection area of the radar sensors (rear) is set at the road width of expressways.
