The system releases the brake when the accelerator pedal is depressed wi\
th the
shift lever in D or S to allow smooth start off.

FEATURES & OPERATIONS
When parking, this available system scans for stationary objects, like w\
alls or
lampposts. Should the system anticipate a collision, it will emit an aud\
ible and
visible alert, reduce engine or motor output, and automatically apply th\
e brakes
if needed. If your vehicle is equipped with ICS, the RCTA system will al\
so have a
braking function that may apply the vehicle’s brakes if the system de\
tects crossing
vehicles while the Avalon is backing up.
Note: Use /, / and of the meter control switches to select
and
in the Multi-Information Display (MID) to change settings. The system
will continue in the last state it was in (ON or OFF) when the engine is started
again.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for limitations and more details on this system.

Rear view monitor system
The rear view monitor system displays an image of the view from the bump\
er of
the rear area of the vehicle. The camera for the rear view monitor syste\
m is located
above the license plate.
To adjust the image on the rear view monitor screen, press the “MENU”\
button and
select “Display”. Select “Camera” to adjust the screen contr\
ast and brightness.
Refer to the Navigation and Multimedia Owner‘s Manual for limitations and more
details on this system.

28
The Pre-Collision System uses a radar sensor and camera sensor to help d\
etect a
vehicle or pedestrian in front of your vehicle.
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control pe\
rformance
that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. This sy\
stem will not
prevent collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situati\
on. Do not use
PCS instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. Do not\
attempt
to test the operation of the pre-collision system yourself, as the syste\
m may not
operate or engage, possibly leading to an accident. In some situations, \
such as
when driving in inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or a san\
dstorm or
while driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve,\
a vehicle or
pedestrian may not be detected by the radar and camera sensors, preventi\
ng the
system from operating or engaging properly.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situation\
s in which the
system may not operate properly.Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS \
w/PD
operation, settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before att\
empting to
use it. Pre-Collision Warning
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision i\
s high, a
buzzer will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the Multi-I\
nformation
Display (MID) to urge the driver to take evasive action.
Pre-Collision Brake Assist
If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide addi\
tional
braking force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and m\
ay apply
greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is dep\
ressed.
Pre-Collision Braking
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines tha\
t the
possibility of a frontal collision with a preceding vehicle is extremely\
high, the
system may automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to he\
lp the
driver reduce the impact and in certain cases avoid the collision.
Pre-Collision System with
Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD)
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
™
Suspension control (if equipped)
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision i\
s high, the
Adaptive Variable Suspension System will control the damping force of th\
e shock
absorbers to help maintain an appropriate vehicle posture.

(2) Press “
” or “” switches and select from the MID and then press
“

Note: PCS is enabled each time the engine switch is turned to Ignition On.
The system can be disabled/enabled and the alert timing of the system can be
changed. (Alert timing only, brake operation remains the same).
Monocular camera sensor
Millimeter
wave radar
As part of the Pre-Collision System, this function is also designed to f\
irst provide an
alert and then automatic braking if needed.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and inf\
ormation.Under certain conditions, the PCS system included with the TSS-P package\
may
also help to detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle using the in-v\
ehicle camera
and front grille-mounted radar. The in-vehicle camera of PCS detects a p\
otential
pedestrian based on size, profile, and motion of the detected pedestrian\
. However,
a pedestrian may not be detected depending on the conditions, including \
the
surrounding brightness and the motion, posture, size, and angle of the p\
otential
detected pedestrian, preventing the system from operating or engaging.

Full-Speed Range

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
DRCC helps maintain a pre-set distance to a preceding vehicle when the p\
receding
vehicle is traveling at a lower speed. This mode is always selected firs\
t when the
cruise control button is depressed. Constant speed cruise control mode i\
s also
available. DRCC is designed to function at speeds between approximately \
30 to
110 MPH and is intended for highway use. Full-Speed Range DRCC is design\
ed
to function at speeds between 0 to approximately 110 MPH and is intended\
for
highway use.
