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
Turning the Blind Spot Monitor on/off.
B - Outside rear view mirror indicators
When a vehicle is detected in a blind spot of the outside rear view mirrors or
approaching rapidly from behind into a blind spot, the outside rear view mirror
indicator on the detected side will illuminate...
Other information:
Only in an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to stop the vehicle in
the normal way, stop the vehicle using the following procedure:
Stopping the vehicle
1 Steadily step on the brake pedal with both feet and firmly depress it.
Do not pump the brake pedal repeatedly as this will increase the effort required
to slow the vehicle...
The emergency flashers are used to warn other drivers when the vehicle has to
be stopped on the road due to a breakdown, etc.
