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.

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.

●The vehicle speed is less than about  10 km/h (6 mph).
●The shift lever is in other than P.
■If “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed on the multi-information  
display 
A sensor may be covered with water  drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove the  
water drops, ice, snow, dirt, etc., from  the sensor to return the system to nor-mal. 
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at  low temperatures, a warning message may be displayed or the sensor may not  
be able to detect an object. Once the ice  melts, the system will return to normal. 
If a warning message is displayed even  
if the sensor is clean, there may be a  sensor malfunction. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota  
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or  any reliable repairer.
■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are lim- 
ited to the areas around the vehicle’  front and rear bumpers.
●The following situations may occur during use.• Depending on the shape of the object  
and other factors, the detection dis- tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible. 
• Detection may be impossible if static  objects draw too close to the sensor.• There will be a short delay between  
static object detection and display  (warning buzzer sounds). Even at low speeds, there is a possibility that the  
object will come within 30 cm (1.0 ft.)  
before the display is shown and the  
warning buzzer sounds. • It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due to the volume of the audio system  
or air flow noise of the air conditioning  system.• It may be difficult to hear the sound of  
this system due to the buzzers of  other systems.
■Objects which the system may not be properly detected 
The shape of the object may prevent the  sensor from detecting it. Pay particular attention to the following objects:
●Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
●Sharply-angled objects
●Low objects
●Tall objects with upper sections pro-jecting outwards in the direction of  
your vehicle
■Situations in which the system may  not operate properly 
Certain vehicle conditions and the sur- 
rounding environment may affect the  ability of a sensor to correctly detect objects. Particular instances where this  
may occur are listed below.
●There is dirt, snow, water drops or ice 
on a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors  will resolve this problem.)
●A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.) In especially cold weather, if a sensor  
is frozen the sensor display may be  displayed abnormally, or objects, such as a wall, may not be detected.
●When a sensor or the area around a sensor is extremely hot or cold.
