When parking, this available system scans for stationary objects, like walls or 
lampposts. Should the system anticipate a collision, it will emit an audible and 
visible alert, reduce engine or motor output, and automatically apply the brakes 
if needed. If your vehicle is equipped with ICS, the RCTA system will also have a 
braking function that may apply the vehicle’s brakes if the system detects 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.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for more details on this system.
