▼Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
The BSM is designed to assist the driver
in checking the area to the rear of the
vehicle on both sides during lane
changes by notifying the driver of the
presence of vehicles approaching from
the rear in an adjacent lane.
BSM operation
The BSM detects vehicles approaching
from the rear while traveling in the
forward direction at a speed of 10
km/h (6.3 mph) or faster and noti
fies
the driver by turning on the BSM
warning indicator light and displaying
the vehicle detection screen.
If the turn signal lever is operated to
signal a turn in the direction in which
the BSM warning indicator light is
illuminated while the approaching
vehicle is detected, the BSM notifies
the driver of possible danger flashing
on the BSM warning indicator light,
and by activating the warning sound
and the warning screen indicator
display.
The detection area on this system
covers the driving lanes on both sides
of the vehicle and from the rear part of

WARNING
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.

following conditions are met:
The power switch is switched ON.The i-ACTIVSENSE warning
indication/warning light in the
instrument cluster is turned off.
The vehicle speed is about 10
km/h (6.3 mph) or faster.
The BSM will not operate under the
following circumstances.
The vehicle speed falls below
about 10 km/h (6.3 mph) even
though the i-ACTIVSENSE warning
indication/warning light is turned

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

warning light turns on and operation
of the system is stopped. If the
i-ACTIVSENSE warning indication/
warning light remains illuminated,
have the vehicle inspected at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.

appropriately.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the DSA
and always drive carefully:
The DSA may not be able to detect a
vehicle ahead depending on the type
of vehicle ahead and its conditions, the
weather conditions, and the road
conditions. In addition, the system is
not for maintaining the distance
between your vehicle and a vehicle
ahead. If you neglect to operate the
accelerator and brake pedals correctly,
it could lead to an accident.

encourages the driver to take a rest,
however, it is not designed to prevent
the vehicle from straying. If you rely too
much on the DAA it could lead to an
accident. Drive carefully and operate
the steering wheel appropriately.
In addition, the system may not be
able to detect driver fatigue and
decreased attentiveness correctly
depending on the traffic and driving
conditions. The driver must take
suffi cient rest in order to drive safely.

following conditions are met.
The vehicle speed is about 65 to
140 km/h (41 to 86 mph).

visible because of dirt or fading/
patchiness.
The vehicle is jolted or swayed
continuously by strong winds or
rough roads.
The vehicle is driven aggressively.When making frequent lane
changes.
The vehicle is making a curve.The DAA detects driver fatigue and
decreased attentiveness based on
the driving data when the vehicle is
driven at about 65 to 140 km/h (41
to 86 mph) for about 20 minutes.
The driving data will be reset under
the following conditions.
The vehicle is stopped for 15
minutes or longer.
The vehicle is driven at less than
about 65 km/h (41 mph) for
