Default Blind Spot Warning Issue

Hi All:
I bought a CPO 2016 CX-5 a few days ago. So far I love it. However, the other day when I was driving on the highway I noticed that the blind spot warning OFF light was on. I hadn't turned it off or anything like that, and no matter how many times I pushed the button the light stayed on. I got to work and parked the car, and the next time I drove it, the light was off and the blind spot warnings have been working ever since. Should I be concerned that this augurs some larger issue with the blind spot warning, or just be content unless it happens again? Any similar experiences?

One other issue: sometimes when I turn the car on the blue coolant temperature warning is on, but it goes away almost immediately when I start driving.

One other issue: sometimes when I turn the car on the blue coolant temperature warning is on, but it goes away almost immediately when I start driving. The only concern might be that it goes out too soon which might indicate insufficient coolant or a thermostat problem, but if you're seeing no indications of overheating, it is probably ok. Check your coolant levels though when the engine is cold).

Most likely, the blind spot system didn't boot up properly when you started the car and it did fine when it rebooted the next time. Probably not a problem, but it is something to keep an eye on during your warranty period.

I don't understand the problem with the blue light. That indicates that the engine is cold and when you drive it, it warms up so the light goes out.

We have had on occurrence of that Blind Spot warning off on our 2014 since it was new. My wife was driving. She pressed the button and all was normal. (I blamed her for touching it by accident anyway...)!
