When Driving- Page 255

NOTE



The BSM will operate when all of the following conditions are met:



The ignition is switched ON.



The BSM OFF indicator 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 BSM OFF
indicator light is turned off.



The shift lever (manual transaxle)/selector lever (automatic transaxle) 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 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 Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.



Some problem with the system including the BSM warning indicator lights is detected.



A large deviation in the installation position of a radar sensor (rear) on the vehicle has
occurred.



There 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.



Driving on snow-covered roads for long periods.



The temperature near the radar sensors (rear) becomes extremely hot due to driving for
long periods on slopes during the summer.



The battery voltage has decreased.



Under the following conditions, the radar sensors (rear) cannot detect target objects or it
may be difficult to detect them.



A 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.



A vehicle is traveling alongside your vehicle at nearly the same speed for an extended
period of time.



Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.



A vehicle in an adjacent driving lane is attempting to pass your vehicle.



A 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.



In 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.



A vehicle makes a lane change from a driving lane two lanes over to an adjacent lane.



Driving on steep slopes.



Crossing the summit of a hill or mountain pass.
