Vehicles that can be detected by the Blind Spot Monitor

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)

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

*1

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

: 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

WARNING

Cautions regarding the use of 

the system

There is a limit to the degree of 

recognition 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 precau-

tions.
Failing to do so may result in the 

vehicle being unable to be driven 

safely and possibly cause an acci-

dent.

263

ing

The system can be operated 

when

The power switch is in ON.

Intuitive parking assist function is 

on.

The vehicle speed is less than 

about 6 mph (10 km/h).

A shift position other than P is 

selected.

If “Clean Parking Assist Sen-

sor” is displayed on the multi-

information display

A sensor may be covered with water 

drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove 

the water drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc., 

from the sensor to return the system 

to normal.
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 sys-

tem will return to normal.
If a warning message is displayed 

even if the sensor is clean, there 

may be a sensor malfunction. Have 

the vehicle inspected by your Toyota 

dealer.

WARNING

Do not damage the sensors, 

and always keep them clean.

Do not attach a sticker or install 

an electronic component, such 

as a backlit license plate (espe-

cially fluorescent type), fog 

lights, fender pole or wireless 

antenna near a radar sensor.

Do not subject the surrounding 

area of the sensor to a strong 

impact. If subjected to an 

impact, have the vehicle 

inspected by your Toyota 

dealer. If the front or rear 

bumper needs to be 

emoved/installed or replaced, 

contact your Toyota dealer.

Do not modify, disassemble or 

paint the sensors.

Do not attach a license plate 

cover.

Keep your tires properly 

inflated.

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.

Failing to observe the warnings 

above.

A non-genuine Toyota suspen-

sion (lowered suspension, etc.) 

is installed.

Notes when washing the vehi-

cle

Do not apply intensive bursts of 

water or steam to the sensor 

area.
Doing so may result in the sensor 

malfunctioning.

When using a high pressure 

washer to wash the vehicle, do 

not spray the sensors directly, 

as doing so may cause a sensor 

to malfunction.

When using steam to clean the 

vehicle, do not direct steam too 

close to the sensors as doing so 

may cause a sensor to malfunc-

tion.

264

5-5. Using the driving support systems

If “Parking Assist Unavailable” 

is displayed on the multi-infor-

mation 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 sys-

tem will return to normal.

Sensor detection information

The sensor’s detection areas are 

limited to the areas around the 

vehicle’ front and rear bumpers.

The following situations may occur 

during use.

• Depending on the shape of the 

object and other factors, the 

detection distance may shorten, or 

detection may be impossible.

• Detection may be impossible if 

static objects draw too close to the 

sensor.

• There will be a short delay 

between static object detection 

and display (warning buzzer 

sounds). Even at low speeds, 

there is a possibility that the object 

will come within 11.9 in. (30 cm) 

before the display is shown and 

the warning buzzer 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 

sound of this system due to the 

buzzers of other systems.

Objects which the system may 

not be properly detected

The shape of the object may pre-

vent the sensor from detecting it. 

Pay particular attention to the follow-

ing objects:

Wires, fences, ropes, etc.

Cotton, snow and other materials 

that absorb sound waves

Sharply-angled objects

Low objects

Tall objects with upper sections 

projecting outwards in the direc-

tion of your vehicle

Situations in which the system 

may not operate properly

Certain vehicle conditions and the 

surrounding environment may affect 

the ability of a sensor to correctly 

detect objects. Particular instances 

where this may occur are listed 

below.

There is dirt, snow, water drops or 

ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the 

sensors will resolve this problem.)

A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the 

area will resolve this problem.) 

In especially cold weather, if a 

sensor is frozen the sensor dis-

play may be displayed abnormally, 

or objects, such as a wall, may not 

be detected.

When a sensor or the area around 

a sensor is extremely hot or cold.

On an extremely bumpy road, on 

an incline, on gravel, or on grass.

When vehicle horns, vehicle 

detectors, motorcycle engines, air 

brakes of large vehicles, the clear-

ance sonar of other vehicles or 

other devices which produce ultra-

sonic waves are near the vehicle

A sensor is coated with a sheet of 

spray or heavy rain.

If objects draw too close to the 

sensor.

When a pedestrian is wearing 

clothing that does not reflect ultra-

sonic waves (ex. skirts with gath-

ers or frills).

When objects that are not perpen-

dicular to the ground, not perpen-

dicular to the vehicle traveling

Object

Calculated vehicle route

When the vehicle is moving, the side sensors or side cameras can 
detect objects. While the vehicle is moving, if a detected object can 
no longer be detected by the side sensors or side cameras, the loca-
tion of the object relative to the vehicle is estimated. If the object is 
determined to be in the estimated path of the vehicle, the object 
warning function will operate.

Object detected by side sensors or side cameras

1

The vehicle is stopped and objects along the sides of the vehicle 
are not detected.

2

Objects are detected as the vehicle is moving.

3

Even though the objects are outside of the detection area of the 
side sensors or side cameras, a warning is displayed and a 
buzzer sounds.

Object warning function operat-

ing conditions

The Advanced Park is operating.

The vehicle moves about 23.0 ft. 

(7 m) after the fuel cell system is 

started.

The R shift position is selected.

After the D shift position has been 

selected, the vehicle has moved 

23.0 ft. (7 m) or less.

Camera switch has been pressed 

and the multimedia display is dis-

played.

The front or rear sensor detects a 

stationary object.

Detection of objects along the 

sides of the vehicle

Objects along the sides of the 

vehicle are not instantaneously 

detected. The location of objects 

in relation to the vehicle is esti-

mated after they are first detected 

by the front or rear side sensors, 

or side cameras. Therefore, after 

the power switch is changed to 

ON, even if an object is along the 

side of the vehicle, it may not be 

detected until the vehicle has 

been driven a small amount and 

the side sensors or side cameras 

completely scan the areas along 

the sides of the vehicle.

If a vehicle, person, animal, etc., is

WARNING

Side sensors and side cam-

eras

In situations such as the following, 

the function may not operate cor-

rectly, possibly leading to an acci-

dent. Proceed carefully.

When starting off shortly after 

the power switch is turned to 

ON and a small vehicle or other 

object which cannot be detected 

by a front side sensor is next to 

the vehicle.

In the situation shown in the fol-
lowing illustration, even if the 
vehicle starts off, the vehicle on 
the left will not be detected and 
the object warning function will 
not operate.

When an object or person is in a 

position which cannot be 

detected by the side sensors or 

side cameras.

When, after the side sensors 

have completed scanning the 

areas along the sides of the 

vehicle, a vehicle, person, or 

other object approaches the 

side of the vehicle and cannot 

be detected.

When the outside rear view mir-

ror is closed, the side sensors 

or side cameras cannot detect 

objects.

If the 12-volt battery was dis-

charged or has been removed 

and installed, fold and extend 

the outside rear view mirrors.

RCTA (Rear Cross Traf-

fic Alert)

*

The RCTA function uses the 
BSM rear side radar sen-
sors installed behind the 
rear bumper. This function 
is intended to assist the 
driver in checking areas 
that are not easily visible 
when backing up.

WARNING

Cautions regarding the use of 

the system

The driver is solely responsible for 

safe driving. Always drive safely, 

taking care to observe your sur-

roundings.

The RCTA function is only a sup-

plementary function which alerts 

the driver that a vehicle is 

approaching from the right or left 

at the rear of the vehicle.

As the RCTA function may not 

function correctly under certain 

conditions, the driver’s own visual 

confirmation of safety is neces-

sary.

Over reliance on this function may 

lead to an accident resulting 

death or serious injury.

To ensure the system can 

operate properly
