BSM (Blind Spot Moni-

tor)

The Blind Spot Monitor is a
system that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on
the inner side of the rear
bumper on the left and right
side to assist the driver in
confirming safety when
changing lanes.

WARNING

■

Cautions regarding the use of

the system

●

The driver is solely responsible

for safe driving. Always drive

safely, taking care to observe

your surroundings.

●

The Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-

plementary function which alerts

the driver that a vehicle is in a

blind spot of the outside rear

view mirrors or is approaching

rapidly from behind into a blind

spot. Do not overly rely on the

Blind Spot Monitor. As the func-

tion cannot judge if it is safe to

change lanes, over reliance

could lead to an accident result-

ing in death or serious injury. As

the system may not function

correctly under certain condi-

tions, the driver’s own visual

confirmation of safety is neces-

sary.

WARNING

■

To ensure the system can

operate properly

Blind Spot Monitor sensors are

installed behind the left and right

sides of the rear bumper respec-

tively. Observe the following to

ensure the Blind Spot Monitor can

operate correctly.

●

Keep the sensors and the sur-

rounding areas on the rear

bumper clean at all times.

If a sensor or its surrounding area
on the rear bumper is dirty or cov-
ered with snow, the Blind Spot
Monitor may not operate and a
warning message will be dis-
played. In this situation, clear off
the dirt or snow and drive the
vehicle with the operation condi-
tions of the BSM function
(



P.212) satisfied for approxi-

mately 10 minutes. If the warning
message does not disappear,
have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.

●

Do not attach accessories,

stickers (including transparent

stickers), aluminum tape, etc. to

a sensor or its surrounding area

on the rear bumper.

●

Do not subject a sensor or its

surrounding area on the rear

bumper to a strong impact.

If a sensor is moved even

slightly off position, the system

may malfunction and vehicles

may not be detected correctly.

In the following situations, have

your vehicle inspected by your

Toyota dealer.

• A sensor or its surrounding area

is subject to a strong impact.

• If the surrounding area of a sen-

sor is scratched or dented, or

part of them has become dis-

connected.

●

Do not disassemble the sensor.

●

Do not modify the sensor or sur-

rounding area on the rear

bumper.

●

If a sensor or the rear bumper

needs to be removed/installed

or replaced, contact your Toyota

dealer.

●

Do not paint the rear bumper

any color other than an official

Toyota color.

■

Objects that can be detected while driving

The Blind Spot Monitor uses rear side radar sensors to detect the fol-
lowing vehicles traveling in adjacent lanes and advises the driver of
the presence of such vehicles 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)

■

Detection range while driving

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

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.

:The greater the difference in speed between your vehicle and the

detected vehicle is, the farther away the vehicle will be detected, causing
the outside rear view mirror indicator to illuminate or flash.

The Blind Spot Monitor is oper-

ational when

The Blind Spot Monitor is opera-

tional when all of the following con-

ditions are met:

●

The engine switch is in ON.

●

The Blind Spot Monitor is on.

●

The shift lever is in a position

other than R.

●

The vehicle speed is approxi-

mately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more.

■

The Blind Spot Monitor will

detect a vehicle when

The Blind Spot Monitor will detect a

vehicle present in the detection area

in the following situations:

●

A vehicle in an adjacent lane over-

takes your vehicle.

●

You overtake a vehicle in an adja-

cent lane slowly.

●

Another vehicle enters the detec-

tion area when it changes lanes.

■

Situations in which the blind

spot monitor cannot detect

vehicles.

The blind spot monitor cannot

detect the following vehicles and

other objects:

●

Small motorcycles, bicycles,
pedestrians, etc.

●

Vehicles traveling in the opposite

direction

Guardrails, walls, signs, parked

vehicles and similar stationary

objects

●

Following vehicles that are in the
same lane

taken rapidly by your vehicle

: Depending on the conditions,

detection of a vehicle and/or
object may occur.

■

Conditions under which the

System may not function cor-

rectly

●

The Blind Spot Monitor may not

detect vehicles correctly in the fol-

lowing situations:

• When the sensor is misaligned

due to a strong impact to the sen-

sor or its surrounding area

• When mud, snow, ice, a sticker,

etc. is covering the sensor or sur-

rounding area on the rear bumper

• When driving on a road surface

that is wet with standing water

during bad weather, such as

heavy rain, snow, or fog

• When multiple vehicles are

approaching with only a small gap

between each vehicle

• When the distance between your

vehicle and a following vehicle is

short

• When there is a significant differ-

ence in speed between your vehi-

Safe Exit Assist

The safe exit assist is a sys-
tem that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on
the inner side of the rear
bumper to help occupants
judge if an approaching
vehicle or bicycle may col-
lide with a door when open-
ing it or cancel opening of
the door, to reduce the pos-
sibility of a collision.

WARNING

■

Cautions regarding the use of

the system

●

The driver is solely responsible

for safe driving. Always drive

safely, taking care to observe

your surroundings.

●

The safe exit assist is a supple-

mentary system that, when the

vehicle is stopped, informs

occupants of the existence of

approaching vehicles and bicy-

cles. As this system alone can-

not be used to judge safety,

over-reliance on this system

may lead to an accident result-

ing in death or serious injury.

In certain situations, this system

may not function to its fullest

extent. Therefore it is necessary

for the occupants to visually

check for safety directly and using

the mirrors.

●

Keep the sensors and the sur-

If a sensor or its surrounding area
on the rear bumper is dirty or cov-

●

Do not subject a sensor or its

surrounding area on the rear

If a sensor is moved even

slightly off position, the system

may malfunction and vehicles

may not be detected correctly.

In the following situations, have

your vehicle inspected by your
