Toyota Corolla (E210): Safe Exit Assist
The safe exit assist is a system that uses rear side radar sensors installed on the inner side of the rear bumper to help occupants judge if an approaching vehicle or bicycle may collide with a door when opening it or cancel opening of the door, to reduce the possibility of a collision.
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 safe exit assist is a supplementary
system that, when the
vehicle is stopped, informs
occupants of the existence of
approaching vehicles and bicycles.
As this system alone cannot be used to judge safety, over-reliance on this system may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
In certain situations, this system may not function to its fullest extent. Therefore it is necessary for the occupants to visually check for safety directly and using the mirrors.
System components
- Multi-information display
Turning the safe exit assist on/off.
When the system determines that the possibility of a collision with a door is high, the target door is displayed on the multi-information display.
Also, if the door is opened when the outside rear view mirror indicator is illuminated, a buzzer will sound as a warning.
- Outside rear view mirror indicators
When a vehicle or bicycle which may collide with a door when opened is detected, the outside rear view mirror indicator on the detected side will illuminate. When a door on the detected side is opened, the outside rear view mirror indicator will flash.
- Driving assist information indicator
Illuminates when the safe exit assist is turned off. At this time, "Safe Exit Assist OFF" will be displayed on the multi-information display.
■Outside rear view mirror indicator visibility
In strong sunlight, the outside rear view mirror indicator may be difficult to see.
■Buzzer
If the volume setting of the audio system is high or the surrounding area is loud, it may be difficult to hear the buzzer.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized.
WARNING
■To ensure the system can operate properly
Safe exit assist sensors are installed behind the left and right sides of the rear bumper respectively.
Observe the following to ensure the safe exit assist 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 Safe Exit Assist may not operate and a warning message will be displayed.
In this situation, clear off the dirt or snow and drive the vehicle with the operation conditions of the SEA function satisfied for approximately 10 minutes. If the warning message does not disappear, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
- Do not attach accessories, stickers (including transparent stickers), aluminum tape, etc. to a sensor or its surrounding area on the rear bumper.
- Do not subject a sensor or its
surrounding area on the rear
bumper to a strong impact.
If a sensor is moved even slightly off position, the system may malfunction and vehicles may not be detected correctly.
In the following situations, have your vehicle inspected by your Toyota 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 surrounding area on the rear bumper.
- If a sensor or the rear bumper needs to be removed/installed or replaced, contact your Toyota dealer.
- Do not paint the rear bumper any color other than an official Toyota color.
Turning the Safe exit assist system ON/OFF
The safe exit assist can be
enabled/disabled on
(4.2-inch display) or
(7-inch
display) of the multi-information
display.
When the safe exit assist is off,
the driving assist information indicator will illuminate. At this
time, "Safe Exit Assist OFF" will
be displayed on the multi-information
display. Each time the
engine switch is turned to ON,
the safe exit assist is enabled.
■ Objects that can be detected by the Safe exit assist
When the safe exit assist detects the following vehicles or bicycles behind your vehicle using a rear side radar sensor, the occupants of the vehicle are informed through an outside rear view mirror indicator, buzzer, and the multi-information display.
- Vehicle or bicycle which has a high possibility of colliding with a door when opened
■ The Safe exit assist detection areas
The areas that vehicles can be detected in are outlined below.
- Approximately 145 ft. (45 m) rearward from the front door*
*: The faster a vehicle or bicycle is approaching, the distance at which an outside rear view mirror indicator will illuminate or blink will become further.
■The Safe exit assist is operational when
The Safe exit assist is operational when all of the following conditions are met:
- When the engine switch is ON, less than 3 minutes have elapsed since the engine was off, or less than 3 minutes have elapsed since a door was opened and someone has entered the vehicle (the time which operation is possible may be extended if a door is opened and closed)
- Safe exit assist is on
- The vehicle is stopped.
- The shift lever is in a position other than R.
■The Safe exit assist will detect a vehicle when
The Safe exit assist will detect a vehicle present in the detection area in the following situations:
- When the vehicle is stopped and a vehicle or bicycle, which is traveling parallel to the vehicle, is approaching within the area that a door opens
■Conditions under which the system will not detect a vehicle
- Safe exit assist does not detect
the following objects, vehicles,
and bicycles:
- Vehicles or bicycles which are approaching slowly*
