Blind Spot Monitoring

[CanyonFisherSummitSeeker]

Howdy, wondering if anyone might be able to clarify something for me. When I first drove my truck home from dealership and for the first week I had it I could have sworn the blind spot monitoring would beep at me the same way that the truck does when I am backing up and it senses cars coming.
The mirrors still light up and flash but there is no audible noise. I have turned the system on and off and it is still not beeping. I don’t need the beeping but if something isn’t working and the truck isn’t even a month old I want to figure it out.
Is this system supposed to beep at me? or is it just the mirrors that light up? thanks in advance.

Mine doesn't beep- just the mirrors light up.

No it doesn't beep at all. I wish it did as well. My Honda beeps if you have the turn signal on and someone is in your blind spot. It's awesome. That said, it's still better than no BSM.

Thanks very much for the reply. My 2015 Mazda would also beep once the blinker was on. I agree it’s better than no BSM. And honestly I’m fine without it beeping I just wanted to double check to make sure everything was functioning properly. Again thank you

Gonna threadjack a little bit here, since it's semi-on-topic:

Why don't our trucks have the passenger blindspot camera come on during right turn signaling? With all the cameras on these trucks, I feel like this was an easy win, and cars much older have this feature. I find myself frequently going to look at the screen when I signal right and go to merge lanes on the highway, only to find myself having to look in the actual mirror.

does it beep if you put on the turn signal with someone in the blind spot? That's what my wifes subaru does

On a related topic, I got these at AutoZone. They are two inches across and they swivel to whatever position you want. I have them on both mirrors just below the BSM lights.
