FEATURES & OPERATIONS
Intelligent Clearance Sonar with Rear Cross
Traffic Braking (ICS w/RCTB) (if equipped)
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 Camry is backing up.
