The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system in a 2023 Jeep Cherokee may not stay on if it is turned off, if system performance is temporarily limited due to weather conditions (such as snow or heavy rain), or if there are obstructions near the sensor, such as dirt or aftermarket accessories. Additionally, the system only provides alerts when a detected object is present, and its behavior may vary based on the selected Blind Spot Alert mode.
