Toyota Corolla Cross Safety T-Mate: Exit Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Monitor review
T-Mate for Toyota Corolla Cross combines the latest generation Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) package, which for the first time can be updated Over-The-Air and other active driving and parking assistance systems to not only make driving easier and safer, but also to protect all vehicle occupants as well as other road users in various scenarios.
I checked three of them:
00:06 Safe Exit Assist (SEA)
01:10 Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Automatic Braking (RTCAB)
02:45 Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) on highway
An extra layer of protection when getting out the car provides Safe Exit Assist (SEA). This uses the Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) radar to check for any traffic (including cyclists) approaching from the rear, flashing a warning light if anything is detected. If an attempt is made to open a door, further warning lights flash in the multi-information display and a buzzer is sounded.
Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Automatic Braking (RCTAB), warning of traffic and hazards when overtaking or reversing. Unfortunately, there is no Front Traffic Alert 🙁
