 WIRELESS DOOR LOCK REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
A wireless door lock remote control system is available as an option on the LE grade model and is standard
equipment on the XLE grade model. With the wireless door lock remote control system, all the doors can be locked
and unlocked by signals emitted by the transmitter.
A 2±step unlock function is provided. When the unlock switch of the transmitter is pressed once, only the driver's
door is unlocked. When it is pressed twice, all the doors are unlocked.
A panic switch is provided in the transmitter to force the theft system by operating the horn, headlight and taillight.
A wireless door lock ECU with EEPROM (Electrical Erasable Programmable ROM) is used so that the transmitter
recognition code can be easily reprogrammed.
 THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM
A theft deterrent system is used to prevent vehicle theft. When the system is set, the horn and headlights operate
if the door, hood or trunk is forcibly opened.
The audio system also has an anti±theft system whereby the radio and cassette deck is disabled if the radio body
is stolen from the vehicle.

System
Outline
Power Window System
The power window system includes one±touch auto down and key±off opera-
tion functions. The one±touch auto down function automatically opens the
driver 's door window fully. The key±off operation function makes it possible
to operate the power windows for approximately 45 seconds after the igni-
tion key is turned to the ACC or LOCK position, if the front doors are not
opened.
The basic construction and operation of this system are the same as in the
previous model.
Door Lock Control System
This system has a ªkey±linked lock and unlock functionº and a ªkey±confine
prevention functionº. All doors can be locked and unlocked simultaneously
by a key operation at the front right or left foor. (The key needs to be oper-
ated twice to unlock all the doors at the driver's door.) If the door lock opera-
tion is performed when one of the front doors is open and the ignition key is
inserted in the key cylinder, doors are unlocked automatically to prevent the
ignition key from being left inside the vehicle.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the previous model.
Wireless Door Lock Remote Con-
trol System
A remote control system in which the lock and unlock functions of all doors
and panic alarm function can be controlled by the signals emitted from a
transmitter is adopted. The transmitter is also provided with a 2±step unlock
function to unlock all the doors by pressing the switch twice.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the '96 Avalon.
However, certain functions have been changed. For details, see page 107.
Theft Deterrent System
When an attempt is made to forcibly enter the vehicle or open the hood or
trunk lid without a key, or when the battery terminals are removed and re-
connected, this system sounds the horn and flashes the headlights and tail-
lights for about 1 minute to alert the owner. At the same time, it locks all the
doors and electronically disconnects the starter.
The basic operation is the same as in the '96 Avalon.
Power Seat
As in the previous model, the front seats are power assisted by electric mo-
tors so that the seat positions can be adjusted easily by a simple switch op-
eration.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the previous model.
