*: If equipped
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.
WA R N I N G
■Cautions regarding the use of the system
The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. Always drive safely, tak- ing care to observe your
surroundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a supple- mentary 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 function cannot judge if it is safe to change
lanes, over reliance could lead to an
accident resulting in death or serious injury.
As the system may not function cor-
rectly under certain conditions, the driver’s own visual confirmation of
safety is necessary.

Outside rear view mirror indica-
tors
When a vehicle is detected in a blind
spot of the outside rear view mirrors or
approaching rapidly from behind into a
blind spot, the outside rear view mirror
indicator on the detected side will illumi-
nate. If the turn signal lever is operated
toward the detected side, the outside
rear view mirror indicator flashes.

■Outside rear view mirror indicator visibility
In strong sunlight, the outside rear view
mirror indicator may be difficult to see.
■When “Blind Spot Monitor Unavail- able” is shown on the multi-infor-
mation display
Ice, snow, mud, etc., may be attached to the rear bumper around the sensors.
( P.259) The system should return to
normal operation after removing the ice,
snow, mud, etc. from the rear bumper. Additionally, the sensors may not oper-
ate normally when driving in extremely
hot or cold environments.
■When “Blind Spot Monitor Malfunc-
tion Visit Your Dealer” is shown on the multi-information display
There may be a sensor malfunction of
misaligned. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any relia-
ble repairer.

●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.259) 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.262) satisfied for approximately

(including transparent stickers), alu-
minum tape, etc. to a sensor or its surrounding area on the rear
bumper.
●Do not subject a sensor or its sur-
rounding area on the rear bumper
to a strong impact. If a sensor is moved even slightly
off position, the system may mal-
function and vehicles may not be detected correctly.
In the following situations, have
your vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
• A sensor or its surrounding area is
subject to a strong impact.
• If the surrounding area of a sensor is scratched or dented, or part of
them has become disconnected.

■Vehicles that can be detected by the Blind Spot Monitor
The Blind Spot Monitor uses rear side radar sensors to detect the following
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 rapidl y 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 0.5 m (1.6 ft.) to 3.5 m (11.5 ft.) from either side of the
vehicle*1
Approximately 1 m (3.3 ft.) forward of the rear bumper
Approximately 3 m (9.8 ft.) from the rear bumper
Approximately 3 m (9.8 ft.) to 60 m (197 ft.) from the rear bumper*2
*1: The area between the side of the vehicle and 0.5 m (1.6 ft.) from the side of the
Blind Spot Monitor operation

2624-5. Using the driving support systems
vehicle cannot be detected.
*2: The greater the difference in speed between your vehicle and the detected vehi-
cle is, the farther away the vehicle will be detected, causing the outside rear view
mirror indicator to illuminate or flash.
