Outside rear view mirror indicator visibility
In harsh, bright sunlight conditions, the indicators on the outside rearview mirrors may become difficult to see. This reduced visibility can delay your recognition of key alerts, so extra caution is advised on very sunny days.
Buzzer
If the audio system’s volume is set high or the ambient noise level is elevated, the buzzer alert might be difficult to hear. Adjusting the volume and ensuring a quieter environment can help reinforce this important safety cue.
Voice notifications
Voice notifications will not be output in certain situations, including:
*: Occupancy is determined based on the opening and closing of doors during entry and exit.
Customization
Many functions of the safe exit assist system can be personalized. You can adjust alert volumes, display preferences, and notification settings to better suit your driving environment and personal needs.
WARNING
To ensure the system can operate properly
Turning the safe exit assist system ON/OFF
The safe exit assist system can be enabled or disabled through a customizable setting in your vehicle’s driver-assist menu. When the system is turned off, a specific driving assist information indicator will illuminate and a corresponding message will be displayed on the multi-information screen, alerting you of its inactive state. Each time the power switch is turned to ON, the safe exit assist is automatically activated to ensure reliable operation during the exit process.
By fine-tuning these features and maintaining proper system settings, you can maximize the effectiveness of safe exit assist technology. This added layer of security not only helps prevent dooring incidents by alerting occupants to approaching hazards but also enhances overall driving safety. Advanced safety systems like this, exemplified in the Toyota bZ4X, underscore the commitment to innovative driver assistance and occupant protection.
