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 supplementary system which alerts the driver
that a vehicle is present in the blind spot. Do not overly rely on the Blind Spot
Monitor. The system cannot judge if it is safe to change lanes, therefore over
reliance could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury. Accord-
ing to conditions, the system may not function correctly. Therefore the
driver's own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
■
Handling the radar sensor
One Blind Spot Monitor is installed inside the left and right side of the vehicle
rear bumper respectively. Observe the following to ensure the Blind Spot
Monitor can function correctly.
●
Do not subject the sensor or surrounding area on the bumper to a strong
impact. If the sensor moves even slightly off position, the system may mal-
function and vehicles that enter the detection area may not be detected. If
the sensor or surrounding area is subject to a strong impact, always have
the area inspected by your Toyota dealer.
●
Do not disassemble the sensor.
●
Do not attach accessories or stickers to the sensor or surrounding area on
the bumper.
●
Do not modify the sensor or surrounding area on the bumper.
●
