BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)

*

The Blind Spot Monitor uses the
sensors installed behind the rear
bumper. The system is intended to
assist the driver check areas that
are not easily visible. The system
has the following 2 functions:



The BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)
function

Assists the driver in making a deci-
sion when changing lanes



The RCTA (Rear Crossing Traffic
Alert) function

Assists the driver when backing up

These functions use same sensors.

WARNING

O

Keep the sensors and the surrounding

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

(



P.299) will be displayed. In this sit-

uation, clear off the dirt or snow and

drive the vehicle with the operation

conditions of the BSM function

(

10 minutes. If the warning message

does not disappear, have the vehicle

inspected by any authorized Lexus

retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,

or any reliable repairer.

O

Do not subject a sensor or its sur-

rounding 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 cor-

rectly.

In the following situations, have your

vehicle inspected by any authorized

Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized

repairer, or any reliable repairer.

• 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.

O

Do not disassemble the sensor.

O

Do not attach stickers to the sensor or

surrounding area on the rear bumper.

O

Do not modify the sensor or surround-

ing area on the rear bumper.

O

Do not paint the rear bumper any

color other than an official Lexus color.

Q

Operation of the BSM function

The BSM function uses radar sensors to detect the following vehicles traveling in
adjacent lanes and advises the driver of the presence of such vehicles via the indi-
cators on the outside rear view mirrors.

Vehicles that are traveling in areas that are not visible using the outside 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)

Q

BSM function detection areas

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 vehicle

*1

Approximately 1 m (3.3 ft.) forward of the rear bumper

Approximately 3 m (9.8 ft.) from the rear bumper

Approximately 3 m (9.8 ft.) to 60 m (197 ft.) from the rear bumper

WARNING

Q

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 rap-

idly 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 serious

injury.
As the system may not function correctly

under certain conditions, the driver’s own

visual confirmation of safety is necessary.

O

Particulate matter can accumulate more

quickly if the vehicle is frequently driven

short trips or at low speeds, or if the

hybrid system is regularly started in an

extremely cold environment. Excessive

accumulation of particulate matter can

be prevented by periodically driving long

distances continuously with intermittent

Disabling the TRC system

If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or snow,

Pressing the

tem off may make it easier for you to rock

the vehicle in order to free it.
To turn the TRC system off, quickly press

and release the

switch.

The “Traction Control Turned Off” will be
shown on the multi-information display.

Press the

switch again to turn the sys-

tem back on.
