with automatic washer and blower.
WARNING:
. The BSW system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with vehicles or
objects. When changing lanes, always use
the side and rear mirrors and turn and look
in the direction you will move to ensure it is
safe to change lanes. Never rely solely on
the BSW system.
. The camera unit may not function properly
under the following conditions:
— When towing a trailer.
— When strong light enters the camera
unit. (For example, light directly shines
on the rear of the vehicle at sunrise or
sunset.)
— When ambient brightness changes sud-
denly. (For example, when the vehicle
enters or exits a tunnel or passes under
a bridge.)
. If the camera lens is excessively dirty, the
a utomatic w asher may not be a ble to
completely clean the lens. This could result
in the camera not detecting vehicles or lane
markers.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio system
volume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.

km/h (20 MPH).
The BSW light is shown in the vehicle information
display if the Blind Spot Warning system is active. To
switch the system on or off, see the description later in
this section.
When the camera unit detects vehicles in the detection
zone, the Blind Spot Indicator light located inside the
outside mirrors will illuminate. If the turn signal is then
activated, the system chimes (twice) and the Blind
Spot Indicator light flashes to alert the driver.
The Blind Spot Indicator light continues to flash until
the detected vehicle(s) leave the detection zone.
Detection zone

The camera unit can detect vehicles on either side of
your vehicle when part of another vehicle is within the
detection zone shown as illustrated.
This detection zone typically starts from the outside
mirror of your vehicle and extends approximately 3 m
(10 ft) behind the rear bumper, and approximately 3 m
(10 ft) sideways.
The brightness of the Blind Spot Indicator lights is
adjusted automatically depending on the brightness of
the ambient light.
A ch ime soun ds if the cam era unit has already
detected vehicles when the driver activates the turn
signal. If a vehicle comes into the detection zone after
the driver activates the turn signal, then only the Blind
Spot Indicator light flashes and no chime sounds. (See
“BSW driving situations” (P.5-33).)

[ Edit: 2014/ 11/ 7 Model: T32-A ]
5-38 Starting and driving
— A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes
rapidly. (See “BSW driving situations”
(P.5-33).)
— A vehicle that merges or changes lanes
rapidly directly next to your vehicle.
. The camera unit may not be able to detect
properly when your vehicle travels beside
the middle section of a vehicle with long
wheelbase (for example, trailer truck, semi-
trailer, tractor).
. The camera detection zone is designed
based on a standard lane width. When
driving in a wider lane, the camera unit
may not detect vehicles in an adjacent lane.
When driving in a narrow lane, the camera
unit may detect vehicles driving two lanes
away.
. The camera unit is designed to ignore most
stationary objects, however objects such as
guardrails, walls, foliage and parked vehi-
cles may occasionally be detected. This is a
normal operating condition.
. The camera unit may detect the reflected
image of vehicles or roadside objects that
are not actually in the detection zone,
especially when the road is wet.

and look in the direction your vehicle will move to
ensure it is safe to change lanes.

Indicator light will flash but no chime will sound
when the other vehicle is detected.
