This quick reference guide provides you with information on Dynamic Laser Cruise Control Vehicle- to- Vehicle Distance Control Mode. Prior to use of this system, you should be thoroughly familiar with this system, referring to “Dynamic Laser Cruise Control” in Section 1- 7, Owner’s Manual in conjunction with this quick reference guide. (cid:3) Dynamic Laser Cruise Control Operation The laser radar sensor in this system primarily detects the reflectors of the vehicle ahead of you to determine the presence of the vehicle and the vehicle- to- vehicle distance. The detection range of the sensor is about 120 m (400 ft.) ahead. (cid:2) If no vehicle is detected ahead of you:

(cid:1) Your cruising speed is maintained at the preset speed from about 45 km/h (28 mph) to about 135 km/h (85 mph).

(cid:2) If a vehicle is detected ahead of you:

(cid:1)

(cid:1)

(cid:1)

Your cruising speed changes in proportion to the speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain an appropriate distance from your vehicle to the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle ahead is out of the detection range, your cruising speed will be gradually increased up to the preset speed, and your vehicle resumes fixed- speed cruising. If the vehicle ahead decelerates abruptly or other vehicles cut in ahead of you, your vehicle may be too close to the vehicle ahead of you. If this occurs, the display flashes and beeps. (Approach warning)

The dynamic laser cruise control should be used on roads in which sufficient vehicle- to- vehicle distance will be ensured (such as on freeways).

(cid:3) Operation Requirements

Cruising from about 45 km/h (28 mph) to about 135 km/h (85 mph)

O001qrg

The wipers are not operating at all or operating intermittently (including the same wiper operation in the “AUTO” position).

Even if these requirements are met, the system may not operate properly under certain conditions such as bad weather. See “Owner’s Manual” for details.

The selector lever is in the “D” position.

See Owner’s Manual for Complete Information.

AVALON (QRG_U)

(cid:3) Cautions (cid:2) Do not rely too much on dynamic laser cruise control. Vehicle- to- vehicle distance control has its limitations.

Always remain aware of the distance from the vehicle ahead and other vehicles. If necessary, depress the brake pedal to ensure sufficient distance.

(cid:2) Dynamic laser cruise control is not a collision- avoidance system.

If necessary, depress the brake pedal to ensure sufficient distance.

(cid:2) Dynamic laser cruise control should not be used in the following conditions:

(cid:1) In bad weather (such as rain, fog, snow, sandstorms) (cid:1) In direct sunlight from the front (cid:1) Raindrops or snowflakes get in the laser radar sensor glass (cid:1) On the roads in heavy traffic or at sharp bends (cid:1) On slippery road surfaces (icy or snow- covered road surfaces) (cid:1) On steep downhill slopes (cid:1) Continual acceleration or deceleration (such as on busy traffic) (cid:1) On roads with steep and short inclines and declines In any conditions of the above, an appropriate vehicle- to- vehicle distance control may not be attained.

(cid:2) This system is not provided to justify careless driving.

Always remain aware of the distance from the vehicle ahead and other vehicles.

(cid:2) The dynamic laser cruise control should not be used when exiting from,

or when entering or merging onto a freeway. When you are following a slower moving vehicle and exiting, the sensor does not detect the vehicle and will accelerate to preset speed.

AVALON (QRG_U)

(cid:3) Cautions (cid:2) If other vehicles are driving outside of the laser radar detection range, a delay in the detection of the vehicle cutting in

at short range or detection failure of the motorcycle running on the side of the same lane will occur. In this case, the dynamic laser cruise control system will not function properly.

(cid:2) The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead cannot be accurately detected in the following cases:

(cid:1) The vehicle ahead has higher ground clearance, which means that the placement of the reflectors is in a higher position. (cid:1) The rear section of the vehicle ahead is extremely dirty. (cid:1) The vehicle ahead or other vehicles around you are flinging up water or snow. (cid:1) Excessive exhaust gas (black smoke) is coming from the vehicle ahead or other vehicles around you, obscuring your front

(cid:1)

view. Protective film is attached to the reflectors on the vehicle ahead, or reflectors are not installed on the vehicle ahead or are damaged.

(cid:1) Heavy luggage is loaded on top of your rear seats.

(cid:2) The laser radar sensor automatically detects dirt if dirt is sticking to the sensor glass of your vehicle.

However, in some cases dirt may not be detected. At this time warning display does not operate and an appropriate vehicle- to- vehicle distance cannot be maintained. Continue driving with due care to the vehicle ahead.

(cid:2) Dynamic laser cruise control does not operate when the vehicle is at a stop or is driving very slowly.

(cid:1) Pay special attention to the very slow vehicle at the end of the line in heavy traffic or at the toll gate.

(cid:2) Turn off the main switch when dynamic laser cruise control is not in use. (cid:2) The approach warning may not turn on even if the vehicle drives closer to the vehicle ahead in the following conditions:

(cid:1) Your vehicle and the vehicle ahead are cruising at almost the same speed. (cid:1) The vehicle ahead is cruising at a faster speed than yours. (The distance between the vehicles will become longer.) (cid:1) The accelerator pedal is depressed, immediately after the release of the accelerator pedal or immediately after the speed

setting.

(cid:2) Depending on the road configuration (curved roads) or your vehicle condition (steering wheel maneuvering, position in

the lane), vehicles in other lanes or surrounding objects will be detected.

Important information about your Toyota

Occupant restraint systems

Toyota encourages you and your family to take the time to read Section 1- 3 of this Owner’s Manual carefully. In terms of helping you understand how you can receive the maximum benefit of the occupant restraint systems this vehicle provides, Section 1- 3 of this Owner’s Manual is the most important Section for you and your family to read. Section 1- 3 describes the function and operation concern- ing seats, seat belts, SRS airbags and child restraint sys- tems of this vehicle and some potential hazards you should be aware of. These systems work together along with the overall structure of this vehicle in order to provide occupant restraint in the event of a crash. The effect of each system is enhanced when it is used properly and together with other systems. No single occupant restraint system can, by itself, provide you or your family with the equal level of restraint which these systems can provide when used together. That is why it is important for you and your family to understand the purpose and proper use of each of these systems and how they relate to each other.

The purpose of all occupant restraint systems is to help reduce the possibility of death or serious injury in the event of a collision. None of these systems, either individ- ually or together, can ensure that there is no injury in the event of collision. However, the more you know about these systems and how to use them properly, the greater your chances become of surviving an accident without death or serious injury.

Seat belts provide the primary restraint to all occupants of the vehicle, and every occupant of the vehicle should wear seat belts properly at all times. Children should always be secured in child restraint systems that are appropriate for their age and size. SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbags are, as their names imply, designed to work with, and be supplemental to, seat belts and are not substitutes for them. SRS airbags can be very effective in reducing the risk of head, chest and knee injuries by preventing contact of the head, chest and knee with interior portions of the vehicle.

iii

2005 AVALON from Jan. ’05 Prod. (OM41408U)

In order to be effective, the SRS airbags must deploy with tremendous speed. The rapid deployment of the SRS air- bags makes the SRS airbags themselves potential sources of serious injury if an occupant is too close to an airbag, or if an object or some part of his or her body has been placed between the occupant and the airbag at the time of deployment. This is just one example of how the instruc- tions in Section 1- 3 of this Owner’s Manual will help en- sure proper use of the occupant restraint systems, and increase the safety they can provide to you and your fami- ly in the event of an accident.

Toyota recommends you to read the provisions in Section 1- 3 carefully and refer to them as needed during your time of ownership of this vehicle.

’05 AVALON_U (L/O 0501)

Event data recorder

Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control cer- tain aspects of your vehicle. These computers assist in driving and maintaining optimal vehicle performance. Be- sides storing data useful for troubleshooting, there is a system to record data in a crash or a near car crash event. This is called an Event Data Recorder (EDR).

The SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR. In a crash or a near car crash event, this device may record some or all of the following information:

(cid:1) Engine speed (cid:1) Whether the brake pedal was applied or not (cid:1) Vehicle speed (cid:1) To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed (cid:1) Position of the transmission selector lever (cid:1) Whether the driver and front passenger wore the seat

belts or not
