Vehicles that can be detected by the Blind Spot Monitor

The Blind Spot Monitor uses rear side radar sensors to detect the following vehi-
cles traveling in adjacent lanes and advises the driver of the presence of such vehi-
cles via the indicators on the outside rear view mirrors.

Vehicles that are traveling in areas that are not visible using the outside rear
view mirrors (the blind spots)
Vehicles that are approaching rapidly from behind in areas that are not visible
using the outside rear view mirrors (the blind spots)

■

The Blind Spot Monitor detection areas

The areas that vehicles can be detected in are outlined below.

The range of each detection area is:

Approximately 1.6 ft. (0.5 m) to 11.5 ft. (3.5 m) from either side of the vehicle

Approximately 3.3 ft. (1 m) forward of the rear bumper
Approximately 9.8 ft. (3 m) from the rear bumper

Approximately 9.8 ft. (3 m) to 197 ft. (60 m) from the rear bumper

: The area between the side of the vehicle and 1.6 ft. (0.5 m) from the side of the vehicle

cannot be detected.

■

Cautions regarding the use of the sys-

tem

There is a limit to the degree of recogni-

tion accuracy and control performance

that this system can provide, do not

overly rely on this system. The driver is

always responsible for paying attention

to the vehicle’ surroundings and driving

safely.

■

To ensure the system can operate

properly

Observe the following precautions.

Failing to do so may result in the vehicle

being unable to be driven safely and pos-

sibly cause an accident.

●

Do not damage the sensors, and

always keep them clean.

●

Do not attach a sticker or install an

electronic component, such as a back-

lit license plate (especially fluorescent

type), fog lights, fender pole or wire-

less antenna near a radar sensor.

●

Do not subject the surrounding area of

the sensor to a strong impact. If sub-

jected to an impact, have the vehicle

inspected by your Lexus dealer. If the

front or rear bumper needs to be

emoved/installed or replaced, contact

your Lexus dealer.

●

Do not modify, disassemble or paint

the sensors.

●

Do not attach a license plate cover.

●

Keep your tires properly inflated.

P.236)

■

If “Parking Assist Unavailable” is dis-

played on the multi-information display

●

Water may be continuously flowing over

the sensor surface, such as in a heavy

rain. When the system determines that it

is normal, the system will return to nor-

mal.

●

Initialization may not have been per-

formed after a battery terminal was dis-

connected and reconnected. Initialize the

system. (



P.240) If this message contin-

ues to be displayed even after initializa-

tion, have the vehicle inspected by your

Lexus dealer.

■

If “Parking Assist Unavailable Clean

Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed on

the multi-information display

A sensor may be covered with ice, snow,

dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc.,

from the sensor to return the system to nor-

mal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low

temperatures, a warning message may be

displayed or the sensor may not be able to

detect an object. Once the ice melts, the

system will return to normal.

■

If a battery terminal has been discon-

nected and reconnected

The system needs to be initialized. To initial-

ize the system, drive the vehicle straight

ahead for 5 seconds or more at a speed of

approximately 22 mph (35 km/h) or more.

■

Sensor detection information

The following situations may occur during

use.

●

The sensor's detection areas are limited

to the areas around the vehicle front and

rear bumpers.

●

Depending on the shape of the object

and other factors, the detection distance

may shorten, or detection may be impos-

sible.

●

There will be a short delay between

object detection and display. Even at low

speeds, there is a possibility that the

object will come within the sensor’s

detection areas before the display is

shown and the warning beep sounds.

●

It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due

to the volume of the audio system or air

flow noise of the air conditioning system.

●

It may be difficult to hear the buzzer if

buzzers for other systems are sounding.

■

Objects which the system may not be

properly detected

The shape of the object may prevent the

sensor from detecting it. Pay particular

attention to the following objects:

WARNING

■

When to disable the function

In the following situations, disable the

function as it may operate even though

there is no possibility of a collision.
