How does blind spot monitoring work.

I haven't noticed any alerts for this yet

There is a LED on the mirror that lights up when someone is in your blind spot.

 

You can turn off the monitor, make sure it is on. It is controlled by the left hand screen on your dash.

Hopefully the salesman went over the car with you when you took delivery. All this was covered with me when I picked up mine.

When I took the bumper cover off the Flex I found the devices used for the BLIS. Pretty neat, a square box on each side thats a simple radar unit. If you ever get the warning that the sensor is blocked, it usually is because of condensation inside the plastic bumper in front of the sensor. You can shut off the car, walk back and smack the bumper on the side near the corner a few times to shake off the water, and then restart the car, and the error should be resolved.

And, it is useful for early warning if missiles are incoming to take you out. I hooked up a special radar screen to keep track of the missiles. Yes, it is distracting when driving, but what is worse, hitting someone, or getting hit yourself by a missile? I think I made my point!

So besides the dot that illuminates there are these other symbols on the side mirrors (kind of looks like a car passing another) that i have never seen light up.

Are these supposed to ever light up? If so, under what conditions?

 

All i ever see is the dot light up when there is a car in my blind spot.

No the symbol is not supposed to light up. It just identifies what the LED is for.
