What Does Toyota Intelligent Clearance Sonar Do?

Toyota ICS will detect objects around your vehicle and provide an audible alarm when you get too close. This innovative feature will automatically apply the brakes if you continue to move closer.

What Does Rear Cross Traffic Braking Do?

An extension of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system, Rear Cross Traffic Braking (RCTB) promises to upgrade safety when you get behind the wheel. When in reverse, the RCTB system employs quasi-millimeter wave radar to detect vehicles approaching the rear of your Toyota Rav4. If the sensors determine that a collision is possible, a brake control system is enabled to mitigate the damage that would be caused by a collision.
