FEATURES & OPERATIONS
The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that has two functions:
• The Blind Spot Monitor function (assists the driver in making the decision when to change lanes)
• The Rear Cross Traffic Alert function (assists the driver when backing up) 
The system is designed to use radar sensors to detect vehicles traveling\
 in the 
Avalon HV’s blind spot. If a vehicle is detected, the driver will be \
alerted via the 
outside rear view side mirror indicators.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert function:   
While in reverse, when a vehicle approaching from the right or left rear\
 of the 
vehicle is detected, the outside rear view mirror indicators flash.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for limitations and more details on this system before\
 
attempting to use it.

The Bird’s Eye View Camera with Perimeter Scan function assists the d\
river in 
viewing the surroundings, when operating at low speeds or parking, by co\
mbining 
front, side and rear cameras and displaying an overhead image on the Aud\

Multimedia screen.
To view or turn OFF the screen, press the camera switch when the shift l\
ever is in 
the “P” position. It will display two angles, the Moving view and \
the See Through 
view.

The VSC OFF switch can be used to help free a stuck vehicle in surroundi\
ngs like 
mud, dirt or snow. While the vehicle is stopped, press switch to disable\
 the TRAC 
system.
To disable both VSC and TRAC systems, press and hold the switch for at l\

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 HV is backing up. 
Note: Use “” or “” 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.

Pre-Collision System with  
Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD)
OVERVIEW
FEATURES & OPERATIONS
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
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.

the response to the PCS alert timing changes as shown above. You can  press “
” 
to go back to the menu.
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

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.

DISABLING PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM (PCS)
LDA in TSS-P uses an in-vehicle camera designed to detect visible white \
and yellow 
lane markers in front of the vehicle and the vehicle’s position on th\
e road. If the 
system determines that the vehicle is starting to unintentionally deviat\
e from its lane, 
the system alerts the driver with an audio and visual alert. When the al\
erts occur, the 
driver must check the surrounding road situation and carefully operate t\
he steering 
wheel to move the vehicle back to the center part of their lane. 
LDA is designed to function at speeds of approximately 32 mph (50 km/h) or higher 
on relatively straight roadways.
In addition to the alert function, LDA w/SA also features a steering ass\
ist 
function. When enabled, if the system determines that the vehicle is on \
a path to 
unintentionally depart from its lane, the system may provide small corrective steering 
inputs to the steering wheel for a short period of time to help keep the\
 vehicle in its 
lane. 
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist 
(LDA w/SA)
(1) Press “” switches and select  from the Multi-Information Display (MID).

Note: The system is enabled each time the power switch is turned to ON 
mode.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS \
operation, 
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \

to the driving assist system information screen.
(1) The system displays solid white lines on the LDA indicator when visible lane 
markers on the road are detected. A side flashes orange to alert the dri\
ver when the 
vehicle deviates from its lane.
(2) The system displays outlines on the LDA indicator when lane markers on the road 
are not detected or the function is temporarily cancelled.
Note: When operation conditions are no longer met, a function may be 
temporarily canceled. However, when the operation conditions are met again, 
operation of the function is automatically restored. For example, LDA may not 
function on the side(s) where white/yellow lines are not detectable.
