*3: If the turn signal indicator is not  
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  
no-entry area based on the map  
information of the navigation sys- 
tem, the no-entry sign flashes  
and a buzzer will sound. (For  
vehicles with 7-inch/8-inch dis- 
play navigation system) 
 If it is detected that your vehicle  
is overtaking when a no overtak- 
ing sign is displayed on the multi- 
information display, the dis- 
played sign will flash and a  
buzzer will sound. 
Depending on the situation, traffic  
environment (traffic direction,  
speed unit) may be detected incor- 
rectly and a notification function  
may not operate properly.

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.

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

■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.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.
