Vehicles that can be detected by the Blind Spot Monitor

The BSM function uses radar sensors to detect the following vehi-
cles traveling in adjacent lanes and advises the driver of the pres-
ence 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 

WARNING

• 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 attach accessories, 

stickers (including transparent 

stickers), aluminum tape, etc. to 

a sensor or its surrounding area 

on the rear bumper.

Do not modify the sensor or sur-

rounding area on the rear

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’s 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.

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 

removed/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.

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.

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’s 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 approximately 

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 properly detect

The shape of the object may pre-

vent the sensor from detecting it. 

Pay particular attention to the fol-

lowing 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

People may not be detected if they 

are wearing certain types of cloth-

ing.

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 or ice on a sen-

sor. (Cleaning the sensors will 

resolve this problem.)

A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the 

area will resolve this problem.)

In especially cold weather, if a sen-

sor is frozen the sensor display 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 an object that cannot be 

detected is between the vehicle 

and a detected object.

If an object such as a vehicle, 

motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian 

cuts in front of the vehicle or runs 

out from the side of the vehicle.

If the orientation of a sensor has 

been changed due to a collision or 

other impact.

When equipment that may 

obstruct a sensor is installed, such 

as a towing eyelet, bumper pro-

tector (an additional trim strip, 

etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow 

plow.

If the front of the vehicle is raised 

or lowered due to the carried load.

If the vehicle cannot be driven in a 

stable manner, such as when the 

vehicle has been in an accident or 

is malfunctioning.

When tire chains, a compact 

spare tire or an emergency tire 

puncture repair kit are used.

Situations in which the system 

may operate even if there is no 

possibility of a collision

In some situations, such as the fol-

lowing, the system may operate 

even though there is no possibility of 

a collision.

When driving on a narrow road.

When driving toward a banner, 

flag, low-hanging branch or boom 

barrier (such as those used at rail-

road crossings, toll gates and 

parking lots).

When there is a rut or hole in the 

surface of the road.

When driving on a metal cover 

(grating), such as those used for 

drainage ditches.

When driving up or down a steep 

slope.

If a sensor is hit by a large amount 

of water, such as when driving on 

a flooded road.

There is dirt, snow, water drops or 

ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the 

sensors will resolve this problem.)

A sensor is coated with a sheet of 

spray or heavy rain.

When driving in inclement weather 

such as fog, snow or a sandstorm.

When strong winds are blowing.

Detection range of the sen-
sors

Approximately 3.3 ft. (100 
cm)

Approximately 4.9 ft. (150 
cm)

Approximately 2.0 ft. (60 cm)

The diagram shows the detection 
range of the sensors. Note that the 
sensors cannot detect objects that 
are extremely close to the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may 
change depending on the shape of 
the object, etc.

Distance display

When an object is detected by a 
sensor, the approximate dis-
tance to the object will be dis-
played on the multi-information 
display and audio system 
screen. (As the distance to the 
object becomes short, the dis-
tance segments may blink.)

Buzzer operation and dis-
tance to an object

A buzzer sounds when the sen-
sors are operating.

The buzzer beeps faster as 
the vehicle approaches an 
object. When the vehicle 
comes within approximately 
1.0 ft. (30 cm) of the object, 
the buzzer sounds continu-
ously.

When 2 or more sensors 
simultaneously detect a static 
object, the buzzer sounds for 
the nearest object. If one or 
more objects come within 
approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm) 
of the vehicle, the buzzer will 
repeat a long tone, followed 
by fast beeps.

Even when the sensors are 
operating, the buzzer will be 
muted in some situations. 
(automatic buzzer mute func-
tion)

Muting the buzzer sound

Automatic buzzer mute function

Even when the sensors are operat-
ing, the buzzer will be muted in the 
following situations:
• The distance between the vehicle 

and the detected object does not 

become shorter (except when the 

distance between the vehicle and 

object is 1.0 ft. [30 cm] or less).

• Your vehicle is moving away from 

the object.

• There are no detectable objects 

entering the path of your vehicle.

However, if another object is 
detected or the situation changes 
while the buzzer is muted, the 
buzzer begins sounding again.

To mute the buzzer sound

The buzzer can be temporarily 
muted by pressing “OK” of the meter 
control switches while a suggestion 
that says mute is available is shown 
on the multi-information display.

When the mute is canceled

Mute will be automatically canceled 
in the following situations.
• When the shift position is changed

• When the vehicle speed has 

reached or exceeded a certain 

speed

When there is a malfunction in a 

sensor or the system is temporar-

ily unavailable.

• When the Intuitive parking assist 

is turned off once and turned on 

again

• When the power switch is turned 

off once and turned to ON again

Customization

The buzzer volume can be adjusted 

on the multi-information display.
