qBSM Warning Light
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system alerts the driver to the presence of another
vehicle in an adjacent lane using the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning lights and the
warning beep while the system is operational.
The warning light is equipped on the left and right door mirrors.
This warning light illuminates for a few seconds when the ignition is switched ON.
Driving forward
If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system detects a vehicle in the detection area while the
vehicle is driven at a speed of about 10 km/h (6.2mph) or more, the Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) warning light illuminates on the side of the vehicle where the rear on-coming
vehicle is detected. A warning indicator light flashes when the turn signal lever is operated
to the side where the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning lights is illuminated to alert
the driver.
Reversing
If vehicles approach from the rear on the left and right, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
warning lights on both sides flash.
NOTE
lIf ice or snow adhere to the outer mirror surface, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning light
may not be visible.
lIf the door window glass is tinted, it may affect the visibility of the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
warning light, making it difficult to confirm the illumination of the light.

Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)í
lThe LDWS notifies the driver that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane.lThe system detects the white (yellow) lines on the traffic lane using the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) and if it determines that the vehicle may be deviating from its
lane, it notifies the driver by flashing the LDWS indicator light (green) and operating the
LDWS warning sound.
lUse the LDWS when you drive the vehicle on roads with white (yellow) lines.lFor vehicles with type A instrument cluster, check the vehicle condition or have the
vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer according to the indication.
lA system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-23.

WARNING
Do not use the LDWS under the following conditions:
The system may not operate adequately according to the actual driving conditions,
resulting in an accident.
ØDriving on roads with tight curves.
ØDriving under bad weather conditions (rain, fog, and snow).
The functions of the LDWS have limitations:
Always stay on course using the steering wheel and drive with care. The system is
not designed to compensate for a driver's lack of caution, and if you rely too much
on the LDWS it could lead to an accident. The driver is responsible for assuring lane
changes and other maneuvers. Always pay attention to the direction in which the
vehicle is traveling and the vehicle's surroundings.
