operated when changing lanes, the 
mark does not display.
In the following situations, the RSA  
system will notify the driver. 
 When the vehicle speed exceeds  
the speed notification threshold  
of the speed limit sign displayed,  
the sign display will be empha- 
sized and a buzzer will sound. 
 When the RSA system recog- 
nizes a no-entry sign and detects  
that the vehicle has entered a

information of the navigation sys- 
tem, the no-entry sign flashes  
and a buzzer will sound. (For  
vehicles with 7-inch/8-inch dis-

●The road changes due to a left or right 
turn, etc.
■Conditions in which the function  may not operate or detect correctly 
In the following situations, RSA does not  
operate normally and may not recognize  signs, display the incorrect sign, etc. However, this does not indicate a mal- 
function.
●The front camera is misaligned due to 
a strong impact being applied to the  sensor, etc.
●Dirt, snow, stickers, etc., are on the windshield near the front camera.
●In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms.
●Light from an oncoming vehicle, the sun, etc., enters the front camera.
●The sign is dirty, faded, tilted or bent.
●The contrast of electronic sign is low.
●All or part of the sign is hidden by the leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.
●The sign is only visible to the front camera for a short amount of time.
●The driving scene (turning, lane change, etc.) is judged incorrectly.
●If a sign not appropriate for the cur-rently traveled lane, but the sign exists

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.

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.271) 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 or  
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 
• When a vehicle enters a detection  area traveling at about the same speed as your vehicle 
• As your vehicle starts from a stop, a  vehicle remains in the detection area• When driving up and down consecu- 
tive steep inclines, such as hills, dips  in the road, etc.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of  
the system 
There is a limit to the degree of recog- nition accuracy and control perfor- 
mance that this system can provide,  do not overly rely on this system. The driver is always responsible for paying  
attention to the vehicle’s surroundings  and driving safely.
■To ensure the system can oper-ate properly 
Observe the following precautions.  
Failing to do so may result in the vehi- cle being unable to be driven safely and possibly cause an accident.
●Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean.
●Do not attach a sticker or install an electronic component, such as a  
backlit license plate (especially fluo- rescent type), fog lights, fender pole or wireless antenna near a radar  
sensor.
●Do not subject the surrounding area  of the sensor to a strong impact. If subjected to an impact, have the  
vehicle inspected by your any  authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable  
repairer. If the front or rear bumper  needs to be removed/installed or replaced, contact any authorized  
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized  repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do  n ot  m od i fy,  d is a sse mb l e o r  p ai n t 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.
