2484-5. Using the driving support systems
Through control state “warning
phase 1” and “warning phase 2”,
the system determines if the
driver is aware and responsive
while outputting a warning and
controlling the vehicle speed. If
the system determines the
driver is not responsive, it will
operate in control state “deceler-
ation stop phase” and “stop hold
phase” and decelerate and stop
the vehicle. It will then operate
continuously in “stop hold
phase”.
■Operating conditions
This system opera tes when all of
the following cond itions are met:
●When the LTA is on
●When the vehicle speed is
approximately 30 mph (50 km/h)
or more
■Operation cancelation condi-
tions
In the following si tuations, system
operation will be canceled:
●When LTA control has been can-
celed (the LTA switch has been
pressed, etc.)
●When the dynamic radar cruise
control has been canceled
●When driver operations are
detected (the steering wheel is
held, the brake pedal, accelerator
pedal, parking brake, hazard light
switch, or turn sig nal lever is oper-
ated)
●When the driving assist switch is
pressed while in the stop and hold
phase
●When the power s witch has been
turned from ON to off
●Situations in whic h some or all of
the functions of the system cannot operate:
P. 2 0 6
■LTA control when operation is
canceled
When emergency driving stop sys-
tem operation is canceled, LTA con-
trol may also be canceled.
If driving operations are not
detected after the hands off
steering wheel warning oper-
ates, a buzzer will sound inter-
mittently and a message will be
displayed to warn the driver, and
the system will judge if the driver
is responsive or not. If driving
operations, such as holding the
steering wheel, are not per-
formed within a certain amount
of time, the system will enter
warning phase 2.
After entering warning phase 2,
a buzzer will sound in short
intervals and a message will be
displayed to warn the driver, and
the vehicle will slowly deceler-
ate. If driving operations, such
as holding the steering wheel,
are not performed within a cer-
tain amount of time, the system
will determine that the driver is
not responsive and enter the
deceleration stop phase.
The audio system will be muted
until the driver becomes respon-
sive.
When the vehicle is decelerating,

the brake lights may illuminate,
depending on the road conditions,
etc.
After entering the deceleration
stop phase, a buzzer will sound
continuously and a message will
be displayed to warn the driver,
and the vehicle will slowly decel-
erate and stop. After the vehicle
stops, the system will enter the
stop and hold phase.
After the vehicle is stopped, the
parking brake will be applied
automatically. After entering the
stop and hold phase, the buzzer
will continue sounding continu-
ously, the emergency flashers
(hazard lights) will flash to warn
other drivers of the emergency.

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, taking care to observe
your surroundings.
●The Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-
plementary 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 func-
tion cannot judge if it is safe to
change lanes, over reliance
could lead to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury. As
the system may not function
correctly under certain condi-
tions, the driver’s own visual
confirmation of safety is neces-
sary.

■To ensure the system can
operate properly
Blind Spot Monitor sensors are
installed behind the left and right
sides of the rear bumper respec-
tively. Observe the following to
ensure the Blind Spot Monitor can
operate correctly.
●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 cov-
ered with snow, the Blind Spot
Monitor may not operate and a
warning message will be dis-
played. In this situation, clear off
the dirt or snow and drive the
vehicle with the operation condi-
tions of the BSM function
(
P.252) satisfied for approxi-
mately 10 minutes. If the warning
message does not disappear,
have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
●Do not attach a ccessories,
stickers (including transparent
stickers), aluminum tape, etc. to
a sensor or its surrounding area
on the rear bumper.

"Blind Spot Monitor OFF" will be
displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.
Each time the power switch is
turned to ON, the Blind Spot

■Objects that can be detected while driving
The Blind Spot Monitor uses rear side radar sensors to detect the fol-
lowing vehicles traveling in adjacent lanes and advises the driver of
the presence of such vehicles via the indicators on the outside rear
view mirrors.
WARNING
●Do not subject a sensor or its
surrounding area on the rear
bumper to a strong impact.
If a sensor is moved even
slightly off position, the system
may malfunction and vehicles
may not be detected correctly.
In the following si tuations, have
your vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
• A sensor or its surrounding area is subject to a strong impact.
• 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 modify the sensor or sur-
rounding area on the rear
bumper.
●If a sensor or th e rear bumper
needs to be removed/installed
or replaced, contact your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not paint the rear bumper
any color other than an official
Toyota color.

Safe Exit Assist*
The safe exit assist is a sys-
tem that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on
the inner side of the rear
bumper to help occupants
judge if an approaching
vehicle or bicycle may col-
lide with a door when open-
ing it or cancel opening of
the door, to reduce the pos-
sibility of a collision.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
●The driver is solely responsible
for safe driving. Always drive
safely, taking care to observe
your surroundings.
●The safe exit assist is a supple-
mentary system that, when the
vehicle is stopped, informs
occupants of the existence of
approaching vehicles and bicy-
cles. As this system alone can-
not be used to judge safety,
over-reliance on this system
may lead to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury.
In certain situations, this system
may not function to its fullest
extent. Therefore it is necessary
for the occupants to visually
check for safety directly and using
the mirrors.
