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 alerted 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
Avalon is detected, the outside rear view mirror indicators will flash. Also, the RCTA
icon for the detected side will be displayed on the audio system display, and the
RCTA buzzer will sound.

FEATURES & OPERATIONS
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 is backing up.
