FEATURES & OPERATIONS
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 is backing up. 
Note: Use /, / and  of the meter control switches to select  
and

will continue in the last state it was in (ON or OFF) when the engine is started 
again.
