Is the laser system on my Toyota Avalon working?
I have a 2007 Avalon equipped with laser cruise. Recently, the laser system will not recognize cars in front of us. Also, the system will alarm and activate the brakes with nothing in front of us. I took the car to my Toyota dealer and was told that the lens needed cleaning and should work fine now.
Can you change the speed of the laser cruise control?
The dealer said that the laser cruise control works as designed and only can be changed in 5 mph increments. For example, if you set the cruise at 67 mph, the laser will keep the distance between you and the car in front of you up to 3 distances (long, medium, and short) at no more than 67 mph.
How does laser control work on a car?
Then the 1 mph is the changes for each push. After each turn off the power of the cruise control, it defaults back to the laser. The laser control will slow down to whatever the traffic is going and even hit the brakes slowly (brake lights come on), and then speed up after the road clears up.

Unlike the Chrysler 300 and Ford Five Hundred, the Avalon’s rear seatback doesn’t fold, but there is a lockable pass-thru to the 14.4-cubic-foot trunk.
What’s the top speed of a Toyota Avalon?
Toyota claims the Avalon can go from zero to 60 mph in 6.6 seconds, and that time seems entirely believable. Credit the free-revving 280- horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 and five-speed-automatic transmission.
