WARNING
⬛Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or pe rform any of the following modifications
without consulting your Toyota dealer.
The SRS airbags may malfunction or deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death
or serious injury.
⚫Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags
⚫Vehicles without SRS side and curtain shield airbags: Repairs, modifications,
removal or replacement of the steerin g wheel, instrument panel, dashboard
⚫Vehicles with SRS side and curtain sh ield airbags: Repairs, modifications,
removal or replacement of the steering wheel, instrument panel, dashboard,
seats or seat upholstery, front, side and rear pillars or roof side rails

mitter) and CD players
⚫Modification to your vehicle for a person with a physical disability
⬛If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
⚫A loud noise and white gas will be emitted.
⚫Vehicles without SRS curtain shield airbag : In addition to the front seat, parts
of the airbag module (steering whee l hub, airbag cover and inflator) may
become hot for several minutes. Th e airbag itself may also be hot.
⚫Vehicles with SRS side and curtain shie ld airbags: Parts of the airbag module
(steering wheel hub, airbag cover and infl ator), as well as parts of the front
seat, front pillar, center pillar, rear pillar, and roof side rails, may also become

WARNING
Driving
4
⚫Avoid sudden engine braking (shift lever operation). The tires may lock and
slip, causing an accident.
⚫Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or
outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to mishandle the vehicle.
⚫Always check that all occupants’ arms , heads or other parts of their bodies
are not outside the vehicle.
⚫Do not drive off-road.
If you must drive off-road, drive carefully.
⚫Do not drive underwater such as crossing a river.
It may cause a serious vehicle failure such as short-circuiting of electrical
components or damage to the engine.
⚫Do not drive with luggage on or near the seats.
If the vehicle brakes or turns sudden ly, the luggage may be thrown out and
hit occupants, the luggage may be dama ged, or the driver may be distracted
by the luggage, which may lead to an unforeseen accident.
⚫Drive carefully where there are large steps or where there are wheel chocks.
The bumper may be damaged.
⚫Do not release the clutch pedal all the way at once. Doing so could move the
vehicle forward and may lead to an unforeseen accident. (➞ P. 194)
⬛When driving on slippery road surfaces
⚫Sudden braking, acceleration or steering may cause tire slippage and reduce
your ability to control the vehicle.
⚫Sudden acceleration, engine braking due to shifting, or changes in engine
speed could cause the vehicle to skid.
⚫After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to make sure
that the brakes are functioning prop erly. Wet brake pads may prevent the
brakes from functioning properly. If th e brakes on only one side are wet and
not functioning properly, steering control may be affected.
⬛When operating the shift lever
⚫For the continuously variable transmissi on vehicles, never let the vehicle roll
backward while the shift lever is in a driv ing position, or roll forward while the
shift lever is in R.
Doing so may cause the engine to sta ll or lead to poor brake and steering
performance, resulting in an acci dent or damage to the vehicle.

How to set up
Go to the “Settings” menu on the TFT color multi-information display, you
can change the settings of BSM function/RCTA function ON (enabled)/OFF
(disabled). (➞P. 109)
⬛Visibility of the outside rear view mirror indicators
⚫It may be difficult to see if the outsid e rear view mirror indicators are lit or
flashing in the following cases:
⦁ Under strong sunlight
⦁ The outside rear view mirrors are covered with ice or snow
⬛Buzzers
⚫It may be difficult to hear the buzzers if there is a loud noise around, such as
high volume audio.
⬛When the TFT color multi-information display shows “BSM Radar Blocked
Temporarily Unavailable”
It is possible that the rear bumper near the sensors is covered with ice, snow,
or mud. If you remove the ice, snow, or mud covering the rear bumper near
the sensors, the function will start working normally again.
⬛When the TFT color multi-information display shows “BSM Temporary
Unavailable”
If you use the function in an extremely hot or cold environment or if the bat-
tery voltage is lower or higher than th e specified level, the system operation
will be temporarily stopped. If the BSM OFF indicator or the RCTA OFF indicator
remains lit for a long time, have the vehi cle inspected at your Toyota dealer.
⬛When the TFT color multi-information display shows “BSM Malfunction
Visit Your Dealer”
It is possible that the sensors have failed or their positions or orientations are
off. Have the vehicle inspec ted at your Toyota dealer.
⬛Customizations
The BSM and RCTA settings can be changed.
(List of customizable features: ➞ P. 430)

WARNING
⬛Handling of the radar sensors
⚫The BSM sensors are installed
inside the rear bumper, one each
on the right and left side.
For the system to work properly,
observe the precautions listed
below.
⚫Keep the rear bumper near the sensors clean at all times.
If the rear bumper near the sensors is covered with rain, snow, ice, or dirt,
the warning display ( ➞P. 389) will appear, and the system may stop working.
If that happens, remove the rain, snow, ice, or dirt from the rear bumper,
and drive the vehicle for a while (appro x. 10 minutes) under the activation
conditions of the BSM function ( ➞P. 216). If the warning display persists,
have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer.
⚫Avoid strong shock to the rear bumper near the sensors.
If the sensor position and orientation ar e off even just a little bit, they may
not be able to detect vehicles correctly, or the devices may not work as
intended.
⚫In the following case, have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer.
⦁ The sensors and the areas near the sensors received a strong impact
⦁ There is a scratch or dent on the rear bumper near the sensors, or some
of the bumper parts are missing
⚫Do not disassemble the sensors.
⚫Do not paste stickers or install accessories on the sensors or on the rear
bumper near the sensors.
⚫Do not alter the sensors or the rear bumper near the sensors.
⚫Do not paint the rear bumper any color other than an official Toyota color.
⚫Scratches on the rear bumper paint may prevent the system from working
normally. Contact your Toyota dealer.

BSM function
The BSM function uses the radar sensors to detect vehicles traveling in
the next lane as described below and notifies the driver of the vehicles’
presence with the outside rear view mirror indicators and buzzers.
a A vehicle traveling in the area not re flected in the outside rear view mir-
rors (blind spot area)
b Vehicles rapidly approaching from behind into the area not reflected in
the outside rear view mirrors (blind spot area)
Detection range of the BSM function
The function detects a vehicle that has entered the area specified below.
a For both sides of the vehicle, an ar ea of approx. 3.5 m (11.5 ft.) from
approx. 0.5 m (1.6 ft.) away from the side surface
The function does not detect an area of a pprox. 0.5 m (1.6 ft.) from the side surface
of the vehicle toward the outside.
