level. If the audio system has been cut
off, turn the engine switch off, wait for
3 seconds or more and then turn it to
ACC or ON to re-enable the audio
system.
●The audio system may not be acti-
vated if the battery terminals are dis-

WARNING
■To ensure the system can oper-
ate properly
Blind Spot Monitor sensors are installed behind the left and right
sides of the rear bumper respectively. Observe the following to ensure the Blind Spot Monitor can operate cor-
rectly.
●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 covered
with snow, the Blind Spot Monitor may
not operate and a warning message
( →P.201) will be displayed. In this sit-
uation, clear off the dirt or snow and
drive the vehicle with the operation
conditions of the BSM function
( →P.205) satisfied for approximately
10 minutes. If the warning message
does not disappear, have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.
●Do not attach accessories, stickers (including transparent stickers), alu-
minum tape, etc., to a sensor or its surrounding area on the rear bumper.
208

4-5. Using the driving support systems
■The system can be operated when
●The engine switch is in ON.
●Toyota parking assist-sensor function is on.
●The vehicle speed is less than about 10 km/h (6 mph).
●Steering wheel is turned approxi-mately 90° or more (Front side sen-sors, rear side sensors) (if equipped)
●The parking brake is released.
■If “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” 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 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.
■Sensor detection information
The following situations may occur during use.
●The sensors may be able to only detect objects near the front and rear bumpers.
●Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
●If an object is extremely close to a sensor, it may not be detected.
●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 sen- sor’s detection areas before the dis-play 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 sound-
ing.
■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:
●Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●Cotton, snow and other materials that
absorb sound waves
WARNING
●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 colli-
sion.
●Failing to observe the warnings
above.
●A non-genuine Toyota suspension
(lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.
■Notes when washing the vehicle
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 malfunc- tion.
●When using steam to clean the vehicle, do not direct steam too close to the sensors as doing so
may cause a sensor to malfunction.

●Sharply-angled objects
●Low objects
●Tall objects with upper sections pro-
jecting outwards in the direction of
your vehicle
■Situations in which the system may
not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-
rounding 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 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 vehicle horns, vehicle detec-
tors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of
large vehicles, the clearance sonar of
other vehicles or other devices which
produce ultrasonic 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.
●Pedestrians that are hard to reflect
ultrasonic waves (ex. skirts with gath-
ers or frills).
●When objects that are not perpendicu-lar to the ground, not perpendicular to
the vehicle traveling direction,
uneven, or waving are in the detection
range.
●Strong wind is blowing
●When driving in inclement weather
such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
●When an object that cannot be
detected is between the vehicle and a
detected object
●If an object such as a vehicle, motor-
cycle, 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 protector (an addi-
tional 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 a tire chains, compact spare tire
or an emergency tire puncture repair
kit is used
■Situations in which the system may
operate even if there is no possibil-
ity of a collision
In some situations, such as the follow-
ing, the system may operate even
though there is no possibility of a colli-
sion.
●When driving on a narrow road
