Mazda 3 Owners Manual: BSM OFF Switch

When the BSM OFF switch is pressed, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems are turned off and the BSM OFF Indicator Light in the instrument cluster turns on.

If the switch is pressed again, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems become operable and the BSM OFF Indicator Light turns off.

NOTE

• When the ignition is switched off, the condition before the system was turned off is maintained. For example, if the ignition is switched OFF while the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems are operational, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems remain operational the next time the ignition is switched ON.
• The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems are turned off when the battery is disconnected such as when the battery terminals or fuses have been removed and re-installed. To turn the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems back on, press the BSM OFF switch.
