'06 AVALON_U (L/O 0508) Before driving in the vehicle- to- vehicle distance control mode, make sure the radar sensor glass is clean. This product is a class I laser product complied with 21 C.F.R part 1040.10 and 1040.11. CAUTION To ensure that dynamic laser cruise control will function properly while driving, observe the following: LASER RADAR SENSOR The laser radar sensor is used for vehicle- to- vehicle distance control cruising. If dirt is on the sensor glass, the dynamic laser cruise control function is automatically cancelled and a warning code appears on the display. (See "VEHICLE- TO- VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE FAILURE WARNING" on page 183.) However, if the glass sensor is covered with icicle or any substance, dirt may not be detected. D Always keep the laser radar sensor glass clean. When cleaning, use a soft cloth and be careful not to damage the sensor. VEHICLE- TO- VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE FAILURE WARNING If there is trouble somewhere in the dynamic laser cruise control while the vehicle- to- vehicle distance control mode is on, the master warning light comes on and the alarm sounds, and one of the warning codes "C1", "C2" or "E3" will appear on the display. Dynamic laser cruise control is automatically cancelled. If "E3" appears on the display, the "CRUISE" indicator light in the instrument cluster also flashes. D Avoid strong impacts around the laser radar sensor. An incorrect laser radar sensor alignment will result in system malfunction. A special device is required to adjust the laser radar sensor alignment. Be sure to have the sensor adjusted by your Toyota dealer. D Do not affix a sticker (including a transparent sticker) or attach an accessory around the laser radar sensor. 183
