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’s blind spot. If a vehicle is detected, the driver will be ale\
rted 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.

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P) is a set of active safety technologies designed 
to help mitigate or prevent collisions across a wide range of traffic si\
tuations, in 
certain conditions. TSS-P is designed to help support the driver’s aw\
areness, 
decision making and vehicle operation contributing to a safe driving exp\
erience.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for operation, setting adjustments, limitations and 
more details to understand these functions and complete safety precautions. For 
more information, please go to http://www.toyota.com/safety-sense
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA)
LDA w/SA is designed to provide notification when the system detects 
an unintended lane departure.
The Steering Assist function is designed to provide small corrective 
steering inputs to the steering wheel for a short period of time to help\
 
keep the vehicle in its lane.
Automatic High Beams (AHB)
AHB is designed to detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and the 
tail lights of preceding vehicles and switch between high beams and 
low beams as appropriate.
Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD)
PCS w/PD is designed to provide alert, mitigation, and/or avoidance 
support in certain conditions, when the system detects a potential 
collision with a preceding vehicle is likely to occur. 
The advanced millimeter-wave radar sensor system is designed to 
work with the camera sensor to help recognize a preceding pedestrian, 
and provide an alert, mitigation and/or avoidance support in certain 
conditions.
Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
DRCC is designed to help maintain a pre-set distance to a preceding 
vehicle when the preceding vehicle is traveling at a lower speed.

ADJUSTING DISTANCE
To change the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
 
Push the “
” button to cycle
through the settings, which will
change progressively. 
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of a preceding v\
ehicle 
up to approximately 328 ft (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle 
following distance and operates to maintain a preset following distance \
from the 
vehicle ahead. These distances vary based on vehicle speed.
LONG
(default  setting) MIDDLE

(1)  Constant speed cruising when there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-\
to-     
vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle dis\
tance   
control.
(2)  Deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising when a preceding vehicle      
     driving slower than the set speed appears When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automaticall\
y
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is 
necessary, the system applies the brakes (the brake lights will come on at this 
time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead 
in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. \
A warning 
tone warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent\
 your 
vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
Note: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill 
slopes.

AHB is a safety system designed to help drivers see more of what’s ah\
ead at 
nighttime while reducing glare for oncoming drivers. When enabled, AHB u\
ses an 
in-vehicle camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and\
 tail lights 
of preceding vehicles, then automatically switches between high and low \
beams 
as appropriate to provide the most light possible and enhance forward vi\
sibility. 
By using high beams more frequently, the system may allow earlier detect\
ion of 
pedestrians and obstacles.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on AHB \
operation, 
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.
Automatic High Beams (AHB)
(1) With the engine switch in IGNITION ON mode, turn the headlight switch to 
“AUTO” or “
” position.
(2) Push lever away from you.
(3) Press the “
” switch.
The AHB indicator will come on when the headlights are turned on automat\
ically 
to indicate that the system is active.
Note: Pull the lever back toward you to turn the AHB system off.
The AHB indicator will turn off. To turn switch to “
” position and the manual 
high beam indicator “
” turns on.
When all of these conditions are met, high beams will be automatically t\
urned on 
(after approximately 1 second): • Vehicle speed is above approximately 21 mph (34 km/h.)
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are no oncoming or preceding vehicles with headlights or tail lights  turned on.
• There are few street lights on the road ahead.
If any of these conditions occur, the system is designed to automaticall\
y turn off 
high beams: • Vehicle speed drops below approximately 17 mph (27 km/h.)
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• Oncoming or preceding vehicles have headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.
