WARNING
■To ensure the system can operate properly
Blind Spot Monitor sensors are installed behind the left and right sides of the
rear bumper respectively. Observe the following to ensure the Blind Spot
Monitor can function correctly.
If the warning message does not disappear, have the vehicle inspected
by your Toyota dealer.
●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 situations, 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 sensor is scratched or dented, or part of
them has become disconnected.
●Do not disassemble the sensor.
●Do not attach accessories or stickers to the sensor or surrounding area on
the bumper.
●Do not modify the sensor or surrounding area on the bumper.
●If a sensor or the 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.
●Keep the sensor and its surrounding
area on the bumper clean at all times.
If a sensor or its surrounding area on
the rear bumper is dirty or covered with
snow, the Blind Spot Monitor may not
operate and a warning message (P.
311) will be displayed.
In this situation, clear off the dirt or
snow and drive the vehicle with the
operation conditions of the BSM func-
tion (P. 315) satisfied for approxi-
mately 10 minutes.

Driving
The BSM function uses radar sensors to detect the following vehicles
traveling in an adjacent lane in the area that is usually not reflected in
the outside rear view mirror (the blind spot), and advises the driver of
the presence of such vehicles via the indicators on the outside rear
view mirrors.
Vehicles that are traveling in areas that are not visible using the out-
side 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)

3144-5. Using the driving support systems
The areas that vehicles can be detected in are outlined below.
The range of the detection area extends to:
Approximately 1.6 ft. (0.5 m) to 11.5 ft. (3.5 m) from either side of
the vehicle
The area between the side of the vehicle and 1.6 ft. (0.5 m) from the side
of the vehicle cannot be detected
Approximately 3.3 ft. (1 m) forward of the rear bumper
Approximately 9.8 ft. (3 m) from the rear bumper
Approximately 9.8 ft. (3 m) to 197 ft. (60 m) from the rear bumper
The greater the difference in speed between your vehicle and the detected
vehicle is, the farther away the vehicle will be detected, causing the out-
side rear view mirror indicator to illuminate or flash

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 BSM function is a supplementary function which alerts the driver that a
vehicle is present in the blind spot. Do not overly rely on the BSM function.
The function cannot judge if it is safe to change lanes, therefore over reli-
ance could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
According to conditions, the system may not function correctly. Therefore
the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.

■The BSM function will detect a vehicle when
●A vehicle in an adjacent lane overtakes your vehicle.
●Your vehicle overtakes a vehicle in an adjacent lane slowly.
●Another vehicle enters the detection area when it changes lanes.
■Conditions under which the system will not detect a vehicle

●Following vehicles that are in the same lane*
●Vehicles driving 2 lanes across from your vehicle*
●Vehicles which are being overtaken rapidly by your vehicle
*: Depending on the conditions, detection of a vehicle and/or object may
occur.
■Conditions under which the system may not function correctly
●The BSM function may not detect vehicles correctly in the following condi-
tions:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the sensor or its
surrounding area
• When driving on a road surface that is wet with standing water during bad
weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or fog
• When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc. is covering the sensor or surround-
ing area on the rear bumper
• When there is a significant difference in speed between your vehicle and
the vehicle that enters the detection area
• When a vehicle is in the detection area from a stop and remains in the
detection area as your vehicle accelerates
• When driving up or down consecutive steep inclines, such as hills, a dip
on the road, etc.
• When driving on roads with sharp bends, consecutive curves, or uneven
surfaces
• When multiple vehicles are approaching with only a small gap between
each vehicle
• When vehicle lanes are wide, or when driving on the edge of a lane, and
the vehicle in an adjacent lane is far away from your vehicle
• When the vehicle that enters the detection area is traveling at about the
same speed as your vehicle
• When there is a significant difference in height between your vehicle and
the vehicle that enters the detection area

3164-5. Using the driving support systems
• Directly after the BSM function is turned on
●Instances of the BSM function unnecessarily detecting a vehicle and/or
object may increase under the following conditions:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the sensor or its
surrounding area
• When the distance between your vehicle and a guardrail, wall, etc. that
enters the detection area is short
• When there is only a short distance between your vehicle and a following
vehicle
• When vehicle lanes are narrow, or when driving on the edge of a lane,
and a vehicle traveling in a lane other than the adjacent lanes enters the
detection area
• When items such as a bicycle carrier are installed on the rear of the vehi-
cle
• When driving up and down consecutive steep inclines, such as hills, dips
on the road, etc.
• When driving on roads with sharp bends, consecutive curves, or uneven
surfaces

sors and communicated via the multi-information display and a
buzzer. Always check the surrounding area when using this sys-
tem.

■Buzzer operation and distance to an object
A buzzer sounds when the sensors are operating.
●The buzzer sounds faster as the vehicle approaches an object.
When the vehicle comes within the following distance of the
object, the buzzer sounds continuously: Approximately 1.0 ft. (30
cm).
●When 2 or more objects are detected simultaneously, the buzzer
system responds to the nearest object. If one or both come within
the above distances, the beep will repeat a long tone, followed by
fast beeps.
●Automatic buzzer mute function
After a buzzer begins sounding, if the distance between the vehi-
cle and the detected object does not become shorter, the buzzer
will be muted automatically.
(However, if the distance between the vehicle and object is 1.0 ft.
(30 cm) or less, this function will not operate.)
Approximately 3.3 ft. (100 cm)
Approximately 4.9 ft. (150 cm)
Approximately 2.0 ft. (60 cm)
The diagram shows the detection
range of the sensors. Note that the
sensors cannot detect objects that
are extremely close to the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may
change depending on the shape of
the object, etc.
The buzzer volume can be changed on the multi-information display
(P. 128) when the power switch is in ON mode.
