FEATURES & OPERATIONS
The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that has two functions:

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.
