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.

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\

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.

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.
