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.

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.
