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.
●Do not subject a sensor or its surrounding area on the rear bumper to a strong

cles may not be detected correctly.
In the following situations, have your vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repa irer, or any reliable repairer.
• A sensor or its surrounding area is subject to a strong impact.

the outside rear view mirror indicator.
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 side of the

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the function
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 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 BSM function. As the function cannot judge if it is
safe to change lanes, over reliance could lead to an accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
As the system may not function correctly under certain conditions, the driver’s own
visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
