lIf 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.
lThe 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:
lIce or snow adheres to the surface of the outside mirrors.lThe door window glass is tinted.
qBSM Warning Light
The blind spot monitoring system alerts the driver to the presence of another vehicle in an
adjacent lane using the BSM warning lights and the warning beep while the system is
operational.
BSM warning light
Equipped on the left and right door mirrors.
This warning light illuminates for a few seconds when the ignition is switched ON.
If the BSM system detects a vehicle in the detection area while the vehicle is driven at a
speed of about 32 km/h (20 mph) or more, the BSM warning light illuminates on the side
of the vehicle where the rear on-coming vehicle is detected.
NOTE
lIf ice or snow adhere to the outer mirror surface, the BSM warning light may not be visible.lIf the door window glass is tinted, it may affect the visibility of the BSM warning light, making it
difficult to confirm the illumination of the light.

Operating Tips
lOperate the climate control system
with the engine running.
lTo prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan control
dial on for a long period of time with
the ignition switched ON when the
engine is not running.
lClear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system efficiency.
lUse the climate control system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
lThe recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or while
in a traffic jam, or when you would like
to shut off outside air for quick cooling
of the interior.
lUse the outside air mode for ventilation
or windshield defrosting.
lIf the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then
run the climate control system.
lRun the air conditioner about 10
minutes at least once a month to keep
internal parts lubricated.
lHave the air conditioner checked
before the weather gets hot. Lack of
refrigerant may make the air
conditioner less efficient.
The refrigerant specifications are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment.
Check the label before refilling the
refrigerant. If the wrong type of
refrigerant is used, it could result in a
serious malfunction of the air
conditioner.
For details, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
