■ Handling the rear side radar sensor
Blind Spot Monitor sensors are installed
behind the left and right sides of the rear
bumper respectively. Observe the fol-
lowing to ensure the Blind Spot Monitor
can operate correctly.
● Keep the sensors and the surrounding
areas on the rear bumper clean at all
times.
If a sensor or its surrounding area on the
rear bumper is dirty or covered with
snow, the Blind Spot Monitor may not
operate and a warning message
(P.215) will be displayed. In this situa-
tion, clear off the dirt or snow and drive
the vehicle with the operation conditions
of the BSM function (P.219) satisfied
for approximately 10 minutes. If the
warning message does not disappear,
have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus
dealer.
● Do not attach stickers to the sensor or
surrounding area on the rear bumper.
● Do not subject a sensor or its sur-
rounding area on the rear bumper to a
strong impact.
If a sensor is moved even slightly off posi-
tion, the system may malfunction and
vehicles may not be detected correctly.
In the following situations, have your
vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
• A sensor or its surrounding area is
subject to a strong impact.
• If the surrounding area of a sensor is
scratched or dented, or part of them
has become disconnected.
● Do not disassemble the sensor.
● Do not modify the sensor or surround-
ing area on the rear bumper.
● Do not paint the rear bumper any
color other than an official Lexus color.
