WARNING
■ Handling the radar sensor
Blind Spot Monitor sensors are
installed inside the left and right sides
of the rear bumper respectively.
Observe the following to ensure the
Blind Spot Monitor can function cor-
rectly.
● 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 cov-
ered with snow, the Blind Spot Mon-
itor may not operate and a warning
message (P.311) will be dis-
played. In this situation, clear off the
dirt or snow and drive the vehicle
with the operation conditions of the
BSM function (P.314) satisfied for
approximately 10 minutes. If the
warning message does not disap-
pear, have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
● 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 mal-
function 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, stickers
(including transparent stickers), alu-
minum tape, etc. to a sensor or its
surrounding area on the rear
bumper.
● 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.

color other than an official Toyota
color.
