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.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, tak-
ing care to observe your surround- ings.
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-

■Outside rear view mirror indicator visibility
In strong sunlight, the outside rear view mirror indicator may be difficult to see.
■When “BSM Unavailable See Owner’s Manual” is shown on the
multi-information display
Ice, snow, mud, etc., may be attached to the rear bumper around the sensors.
( P.273) 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 “BSM Malfunction Visit Your
Dealer” is shown on the multi-infor- mation display
There may be a sensor malfunction of
misaligned. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.

■Vehicles that can be detected by the Blind Spot Monitor
The Blind Spot Monitor uses rear side radar sensors to detect t he following
vehicles traveling in adjacent lanes and advises the driver of the presence
of such vehicles via the indicators on the outside rear view mi rrors.
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 0.5 m (1.6 ft.) to 3.5 m (11.5 ft.) from either s ide 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
vehicle cannot be detected.
*2: The greater the difference in speed between your vehicle and t he detected vehi-
cle is, the farther away the vehicle will be detected, causing the outside rear view
mirror indicator to illuminate or flash.
■The Blind Spot Monitor is opera-
tional when
The Blind Spot Monitor is operational when all of the following conditions are
met:
●The Blind Spot Monitor is on.
●The shift lever is in a position other than R.
●The vehicle speed is greater than approximately 16 km/h (10 mph).
■The Blind Spot Monitor will detect a
vehicle when
The Blind Spot Monitor will detect a vehicle present in the detection area in
the following situations:
●A vehicle in an adjacent lane over-
takes your vehicle.
●You overtake a vehicle in adjacent
lane slowly.
●Another vehicle enters the detection
area when it changes lanes.
■Conditions under which the system will not detect a vehicle
The Blind Spot Monitor is not designed
to detect the following types of vehicles and/or objects:
●Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestri-
ans, etc.*
●Vehicles traveling in the opposite direction
●Guardrails, walls, signs, parked vehi-
cles and similar stationary objects*
●Following vehicles that are in the
same lane*
●Vehicles traveling 2 lanes away from
your vehicle*
●Vehicles which are being overtaken
rapidly by your vehicle*
*: Depending on the conditions, detec-
tion of a vehicle and/or object may
occur.
■Conditions under which the system
may not function correctly
●The Blind Spot Monitor may not detect
vehicles correctly in the following situ- ations:• When the sensor is misaligned due to
a strong impact to the sensor or its surrounding area• When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc.,
is covering the sensor or surrounding area on the rear bumper• When driving on a road surface that is
wet with standing water during bad weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or fog
• When multiple vehicles are approach- ing with only a small gap between each vehicle
• When the distance between your vehi- cle and a following vehicle is short• When there is a significant difference
in speed between your vehicle and the vehicle that enters the detection area
• When the difference in speed between your vehicle and another vehicle is changing
