reverse:

The system is only designed to assist you in checking for vehicles at the rear when putting 

the vehicle in reverse. Due to certain limitations with the operation of this system, the 

Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights may not flash or it might be delayed 

even though a vehicle is behind your vehicle. Always make it your responsibility as a 

driver to check the rear.

NOTE

  In the following cases, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indication/warning 

light turns on and operation of the system is stopped. If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) 

warning indication/warning 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 has occurred.
