warning sound depending on the

vibrations depending on the road
surface conditions.

Canceling the System

The LDWS can be set to inoperable.

Refer to the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.

Blind Spot Monitoring

(BSM)

*

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 notifies 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.
