Bsm (Blind Spot Monitor) - Toyota Grand Highlander 2024 Manual

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.
