Blind spot monitoring system
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the side in question:- immediately, when being overtaken,- after a delay of about one second, when overtaking a vehicle slowly.
This driving assistance system warns the driver of the presence of another vehicle in the blind spot angle of their vehicle (areas masked from the driver's field of vision), as soon as this presents a potential danger.
The alert is given by a warning lamp which comes on in the door mirror on the side in question as soon as a vehicle - car, lorry, bicycle - is detected and the following conditions are fulfilled:- all the vehicles must be moving in the same direction and on adjacent lanes,- the speed of your vehicle is between 7 and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),- when you overtake a vehicle with a speed difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),- when a vehicle overtakes you with a speed difference of less than 15 mph (25 km/h),- the traffic must be flowing normally,- in the case of an overtaking manoeuvre, if this is prolonged and the vehicle being overtaken returns to the blind spot,- you are driving on a straight or slightly curved road,- your vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a caravan...
This system is designed to improve safety when driving and is in no circumstances a substitute for the use of the interior rear view mirror and door mirrors. It is the driver's responsibility to constantly check the traffic, to assess the distances and relative speeds of other vehicles and to predict their movements before deciding whether to change lane.The blind spot sensor system does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.

Operating fault
Have it checked by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
The system may suffer temporary interference in certain weather conditions (rain, hail...).In particular, driving on a wet sur face or moving from a dry area to a wet area can cause false alerts (for example, the presence of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot angle is interpreted as a vehicle).In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.Take care not to cover the warning zone in the door mirrors or the detection zones on the front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels or other objects; they may hamper the correct operation of the system.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment:
With the touch screen
In the Driving menu, activate/deactivate "Blind spot monitoring".In the event of a fault, these warning lamps flash.
The indicator lamp in this button flashes and a message appears, accompanied by an audible signal.
The state of the system remains in memory on switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically deactivated when towing with a towbar approved by To y o t a .
