How to Turn On Blind Spot Monitoring on a Toyota Highlander

1. Locate the BSM (Blind Spot Monitor) button on the dashboard, usually to the left of the steering wheel.
2. Press the BSM button to turn on the blind spot monitoring system.
3. When the system is turned on, you will hear a sound chime, and the indicator lights in the outside mirrors will come on for a few seconds as part of an initial system check.
Once the blind spot monitoring system is activated, it will help detect and alert you to vehicles in your blind spot. If a vehicle is detected in your blind spot, the light on the corresponding side mirror will illuminate.
Please note that turning off the blind spot monitoring system will also deactivate the rear cross-traffic alert function.
It’s important to remember that blind spot monitoring is a driver-assistive system and should not replace proper mirror usage and shoulder checks. Always remember to check your blind spots manually before changing lanes or making turns.
