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 sur-
roundings.
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 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 condi-
tions, the driver’s own visual con-
firmation of safety is necessary.

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’ surroundings and
driving safely.
■
To ensure the system can
operate properly
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failing to do so may result in the
vehicle being unable to be driven
safely and possibly cause an acci-
dent.
●
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 (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
emoved/installed or replaced,
contact your Toyota dealer.
●
Do not modify, disassemble or
paint 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 collision.
●
Failing to observe the warnings
above.
●
A non-genuine Toyota suspen-
sion (lowered suspension, etc.)
is installed.
■
Notes when washing the vehi-
cle
Do not apply intensive bursts of
water or steam to the sensor
area.
Doing so may result in the sensor
malfunctioning.

■
If “Clean Parking Assist Sen-
sor” 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 normal.
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 sys-
tem 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 your Toyota
dealer.
■
If “Parking Assist Unavailable”
is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display
Water may be continuously flowing
over the sensor surface, such as in
a heavy rain. When the system
determines that it is normal, the sys-
tem will return to normal.
■
Sensor detection information
●
The sensor’s detection areas are
limited 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 distance 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 11.9 in. (30 cm)
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 pre-
vent the sensor from detecting it.
Pay particular attention to the follow-
ing objects:
WARNING
●
When using a high pressure
washer to wash the vehicle, do
not spray the sensors directly,
as doing so may cause a sensor
to malfunction.
●
When using steam to clean the
vehicle, do not direct steam too
close to the sensors as doing so
may cause a sensor to malfunc-
tion.

tion of your vehicle
■
Situations in which the system
may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the
surrounding 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 dis-
play 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.
●
On an extremely bumpy road, on
an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●
When vehicle horns, vehicle
detectors, motorcycle engines, air
brakes of large vehicles, the clear-
ance sonar of other vehicles or
other devices which produce ultra-
sonic waves are near the vehicle
●
A sensor is coated with a sheet of
spray or heavy rain.
●
If objects draw too close to the
sensor.
●
When a pedestrian is wearing
clothing that does not reflect ultra-
sonic waves (ex. skirts with gath-
ers or frills).
●
When objects that are not perpen-
dicular to the ground, not perpen-
dicular to the vehicle traveling
direction, uneven, or waving are in
the detection range.
●
Strong wind is blowing
●
When driving in inclement weather

●
When driving up or down a steep
slope
●
If a sensor is hit by a large amount
of water, such as when driving on
a flooded road
●
There is dirt, snow, water drops or

or lowered due to the carried load
●
If the orientation of a sensor has
been changed due to a collision or
other impact
●
The vehicle is approaching a tall
