Electronic Traffic Avoidance Available Now

8 January 2002

Pricing Confirmed For Toyota Avensis With ETA

Hours wasted in congested traffic could be a thing of the past for 2002 Avensis customers with Toyota’s latest genuinely useful innovation, Electronic Traffic Avoidance, (ETA).

ETA – the UK’s first dynamic navigation system – is now available on all new Avensis models already fitted with standard satellite navigation (that’s the volume GS, GLS and CDX grades).

ETA is also available as an option on new Corolla and will be introduced to the rest of the Toyota range during 2002. The full price list for Toyota Avensis 2002 model range with ETA is detailed overleaf.

Easy to Use

ETA provides the driver with live traffic information which is fed into the satellite navigation system enabling the car to not only warn the driver of a traffic problem, but also to plot a way around jams or snarl ups even if the driver is a stranger to the area.

ETA receives coded traffic information 24 hours per day via an FM radio signal that is picked up even when the car radio is switched off. ETA decodes the messages to give the driver advanced warning of incidents and congestion. If the driver is following a route using the car’s satellite navigation system, ETA will automatically offer an ‘avoid traffic’ option and work out a new route around the traffic.

If the driver is not using the satellite navigation when the traffic warning is received, simply plotting a destination into the navigation system will trigger the ‘avoid traffic’ function and enable stress free re-routing around the problem before the driver encounters it. The standard fitment of this unique feature has increased the on-the-road price of GS, GLS and CDX grades by only £300.
