surrounding conditions such as outside
noise.
xThe volume of the LDWS warning sound
can be changed.
Refer to Safety Equipment on page 9-

*1 A rumble strip is a series of grooves in
the road pavement surface positioned
at specific intervals, and when the
vehicle passes over it a vibration and
rumble sound is produced which alerts
the driver that the vehicle is departing
from the lane.
The rumble sound is a reproduction of
the sound which occurs when a vehicle
passes over a rumble strip.

Always check the surrounding area visually before making an actual lane change:
The system is only designed to assist you in checking for vehicles at your rear when making a
lane change. Due to certain limitations with the operation of this system, the BSM warning
indicator light, the warning sound and the warning screen indicator display may not activate
or they might be delayed even though a vehicle is in an adjacent driving lane. Always make it
your responsibility as a driver to check the rear.

NOTE
xThe BSM will operate when all of the following conditions are met:
xThe ignition is switched ON.
xThe BSM OFF switch is pressed and the BSM OFF switch indicator light is turned off.
xThe vehicle speed is about 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster.
xThe BSM will not operate under the following circumstances.
xThe vehicle speed falls below about 25 km/h (15 mph) even though the BSM OFF switch
indicator light is turned off.
xThe shift lever (manual transaxle)/selector lever (automatic transaxle) is shifted to R
position and the vehicle is reversing.
xThe turning radius is small (making a sharp turn, turning at intersections).
xIn the following cases, the BSM OFF indicator light turns on and operation of the system
is stopped. If the BSM OFF indicator light remains illuminated, have the vehicle inspected
at an Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as possible.
xSome problem with the system including the BSM warning indicator lights is detected.
xA large deviation in the installation position of a radar sensor (rear) on the vehicle has
occurred.
xThere 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.
xDriving on snow-covered roads for long periods.
xThe temperature near the radar sensors (rear) becomes extremely hot due to driving for
long periods on slopes during the summer.
xThe battery voltage has decreased.
xUnder the following conditions, the radar sensors (rear) cannot detect target objects or it
may be difficult to detect them.
xA vehicle is in the detection area at the rear in an adjacent driving lane but it does not
approach. The BSM determines the condition based on radar detection data.
xA vehicle is travelling alongside your vehicle at nearly the same speed for an extended
period of time.
xVehicles approaching in the opposite direction.
xA vehicle in an adjacent driving lane is attempting to pass your vehicle.
xA 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.
xIn the following case, the flashing of the BSM warning indicator light, and the activation
of the warning sound and the warning screen indicator display may not occur or they may
be delayed.
xA vehicle makes a lane change from a driving lane 2 lanes over to an adjacent lane.
xDriving on steep slopes.
xCrossing the summit of a hill or mountain pass.
:KHQ'ULYLQJ
L$&7,96(16(


xWhen there is a difference in the height between your driving lane and the adjacent
lane.
xDirectly after the BSM system becomes operable by changing the setting.
xIf the road width is extremely narrow, vehicles 2 lanes over may be detected. The detection
area of the radar sensors (rear) is set according to the road width of expressways.
xThe BSM warning indicator light may turn on and the vehicle detection screen may be
displayed in the display in reaction to stationary objects (guardrails, tunnels, sidewalls,
and parked vehicles) on the road or the roadside.
Objects such as guardrails and concrete walls
running alongside the vehicle.Places where the width between guardrails or
walls on each side of the vehicle narrows.
The walls at the entrance and exits of tunnels,
turnouts.
xA BSM warning indicator light may flash or the warning beep and the warning screen
indicator display may be activated several times when making a turn at a city
intersection.
xTurn off the BSM while pulling a trailer or while an accessory such as a bicycle carrier is
installed to the rear of the vehicle. Otherwise, the radar’s radio waves will be blocked
causing the system to not operate normally.
xIn the following cases, it may be difficult to view the illumination/flashing of the BSM
warning indicator lights equipped on the door mirrors.
xSnow or ice is adhering to the door mirrors.
xThe front door glass is fogged or covered in snow, frost or dirt.
