Wink Heads up for others who may have overlooked this feature like I did!

Someone on another forum resurrected a 2 year old thread pointing out that Mazda's "3-flash lane change" turn signal function is available on all models, but needs to be turned on as it apparently is shipped from the factory in the "off" mode. At least that was the case with my 2013 Touring and I completely overlooked this when setting my car up 2.5 years ago! For those of you who may have done the same (and have a head unit with touch screen), go to Setup/Vehicle/Lights to turn the function on. Sport owners who don't have the touch screen can have the function turned on by their dealer service dept. It's a small thing, but I've really enjoyed having it on my wife's Z4 BMW and now I have it on my Mazda too!

The 3 flash lane change is also tied into the Blind Spot Monitoring on my 2015 Touring. If you hit the 3 flash and a vehicle is in your blind spot, you'll get an audible warning.

Mine was enabled by factory default. Yes, handy feature and I use it all the time.
