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, taking care to observe
your surroundings.
●The Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-
plementary 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 func-
tion cannot judge if it is safe to
change lanes, over reliance
could lead to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury. As
the system may not function
correctly under certain condi-
tions, the driver’s own visual
confirmation of safety is neces-
sary.

WARNING
■To ensure the system can
operate properly
Blind Spot Monitor sensors are
installed behind the left and right
sides of the rear bumper respec-
tively. Observe the following to
ensure the Blind Spot Monitor can
operate correctly.
●Keep the sensors and the sur-
rounding areas on the rear
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 will be
displayed. In this situation, clear
off the dirt or snow and drive the
vehicle with the operation condi-
tions of the BSM function
(  P.357) satisfied for approxi-
mately 10 minutes. If the warn-
ing message does not
disappear, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not attach accessories,
stickers (including transparent
stickers), aluminum tape, etc. to
a sensor or its surrounding area
on the rear bumper.
●Do not paint the surrounding
area of a sensor on the rear
bumper.
●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 si tuations, 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 sen- sor is scratched or dented, or
part of them has become dis-
connected.
●Do not disassemble the sensor.
●Do not modify the sensor or sur-
rounding area on the rear
bumper.
●If a sensor or the rear bumper
needs to be removed/installed
or replaced, contact your
Toyota dealer.
●The sensors are likely to be
affected by paint on the rear
bumper. If the rear bumper is
not repaired correctly, the Blind
Spot Monitor may not operate
with a warning message dis-
played. If any paint repair is
needed, contact your Toyota
dealer.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
There is a limit to the degree of
recognition accuracy and control
performance 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
operate properly
Make sure to observe the follow-
ing precautions. The system may
not operate properly and may
lead to an unexpected accident.
When these precautions cannot
be observed, turn the system off.
●Do not damage the sensors,
and always keep them clean.
●Do not attach a st icker or install
an electronic component, such
as a backlit license plate (espe-
cially fluorescent 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 Toyota
dealer. If the front or rear
bumper needs to be
removed/installed or replaced,
contact your Toyota dealer.
●Do not modify, disassemble or
paint the sensors.
●Do not attach a license plate
cover.

obscured (dirt, snow, ice, etc. are
attached) or scratched
• When a very bright light, such as

objects, such as the following,
may be detected, possibly caus-
ing the rear camera detection
function to operate.
• Three dimensional objects, such as a pole, traffic cone, fence, or
parked vehicle

●In some situations, such as the
following, the rear camera detec-
tion function may operate even
though there are no pedestrians in
the detection area.
• When backing up toward the road-
side or a bump on the road
• When backing up toward an incline/decline
• When the vehicle height is extremely changed (nose up,
nose down, etc.)

PKSB (Parking Sup-
port Brake)*
The PKSB (Parking Support
Brake) is a system that
issues warnings and auto-
matically performs braking
to help reduce collision
damage with operation tar-
gets that were detected
when traveling at a low
speed such as when park-
ing.
This system consists of the
following functions: a Park-
ing Support Brake function
(static objects to the front
and rear) that detects static
objects such as walls, a
Parking Support Brake
function (rear-crossing
vehicles)
* that detects vehi-
cles approaching from the
rear while backing up, a
Parking Support Brake
function (rear pedestrians)
*
that detects pedestrians
behind the vehicle, and a
Parking Support Brake
function (static objects
around the vehicle) (vehi-
cles with Advanced Park)
that detects static objects
around the vehicle.

■Detection area of the Parking
Support Brake function (rear
pedestrians)
The detection area of the Parking
Support Brake function (rear pedes-
trians) differs from the detection
area of the RCD function ( P.378).
Therefore, even if the RCD function
detects a pedestrian and provides
an alert, the Parking Support Brake
function (rear pedestrians) may not
start operating.

may not operate properly

■Situations in which the system
may operate unexpectedly

*: If equipped
The Advanced Park is a system
which assists in a safe and
smooth parking or exiting from a
parking space by displaying the
blind spots around the vehicle
and the target parking spot
through a bird’s eye view, deliv-
ering operation guidance
through displays and buzzer
operation, and changing the
shift position, operating the
steering wheel, accelerator
pedal, and brake pedal.
Additionally, the panoramic view
monitor
* can display the area in
front, behind, and from above
the vehicle, helping confirm the
condition of the area around the
vehicle.
The turn signal lights will blink
automatically when the parking
assistance starts until the vehi-
cle reaches the target parking
spot, to notify people around the
vehicle that parking is being per-
formed.
Depending on the condition of
the road surface or the vehicle,
the distance between the vehi-
cle and a parking space, etc., it
may not be possible to assist in
parking in the target space.

tions such as the following:
• When in areas other than com- mon parking spaces
• When the surface of the parking space is sand or gravel and is
not clearly defined with parking
space lines
• When the parking space is not level, such as when on a slope
or has differences in height

ing space or within the target
parking spot (within the dis-
played blue box)
• When there is a hole or gutter in the exit direction

factory. Otherwise, Advanced
Park may not operate properly.
Also, when the tires have been
replaced, the displayed position
of the lines or box displayed on
the screen may become incor-
rect. When replacing the tires,
contact your Toyota dealer.
●In situations such as the follow-
ing, it may not be possible for
the system to provide assis-
tance to a registered parking
spot:
• When the tires are extremely worn or the tire inflation pres-
sure is low
• When carrying a heavy load
