Toyota Corolla: Using the driving support systems / BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)
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 supplementary 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 serious injury.
As the system may not function correctly under certain conditions, the driver’s
own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
In the following situations, the RSA system will notify the driver.
When the vehicle speed exceeds the speed notification threshold of the
speed limit sign displayed, the sign display will be emphasized and a buzzer
will sound...
A - Meter control switches
