The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system can be set to inoperable.
Refer to Personalisation Features (Search).
When the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) is set to inoperable, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems are turned off and the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator light in the instrument cluster turns on.
If the engine is stopped while the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) is turned off, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) becomes operable the next time the engine is started.
