Blind Spot Monitor
Does anyone else think the BSM alert is far too conservative as far as when it alarms when changing lanes? I traded a 2016 CX-5 GT for a 2017 CX-5 GT (couldn't resist the new model). The newer car definitely alarms even though there is no doubt changing lanes is safe and far from cutting off the other driver. I hope that makes sense. I looked through the manual and it doesn't look like there's a way to re-calibrate or adjust the system, but that didn't surprise me.

I have the 2018 CX-5 GT which should be the same as your 2017. I can adjust the sesitivity of the BSM under one of the settings in my on dash radio display. I think its under settings. There are three adjustments for the BSM. Low, Medium, and High.

Singular reason it makes the car lose points. Its completely pointless! I'd rather turn it off and go back to using the neck turn.
I wish Mazda can do a software upgrade to fix it. The blind spot is leaving atleast 4-5 cars distance.
