The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system can be deactivated through personalized settings in the vehicle's central control system or via a dedicated switch, with specific operation procedures varying by model. For instance, certain models require accessing the instrument cluster settings menu via steering wheel controls to toggle the BSM function, while vehicles equipped with an i-ACTIVSENSE switch can temporarily disable the system using the physical button (the system will automatically reactivate after restart). When deactivated, the central display will show a "BSM OFF" indicator. The system provides three-tier warnings when detecting vehicles approaching within 50 meters in adjacent lanes: through rearview mirror signal lamps (white/amber), display icons, and audible alerts (with adjustable volume). However, due to sensor limitations, false alerts may occur in narrow roadways, tunnels, or during inclement weather. Temporary malfunctions can often be resolved by cleaning the rear bumper radar area or restarting the system. If the warning indicator remains illuminated, consult an authorised service centre for radar module inspection and repair.
