Avalon\'s Ventilated Front Discs and Solid Rear Discs are augmented by an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA). The ABS system helps maintain steering control during sudden stops by preventing brake lock-up. EBD optimizes braking pressure at each wheel to help minimize body dive or sway during hard braking and cornering, while BA automatically helps deliver maximum braking pressure if an emergency stopping situation is detected.

Standard on Avalon, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) helps to detect and correct over- and under-steering. The VSC system integrates Traction Control (TRAC) to help limit rear wheel spin on slippery road surfaces.

Avalon\'s Dual-stage Front Airbags are designed to deploy with the most appropriate amount of force - lower and less forceful in the event of a moderate collision; higher energy level for more severe impacts. Front Seat-mounted Side Airbags, built into the seat and not the door pillar for enhanced protection, have been designed to provide a greater coverage area. In addition, standard front and rear Side-curtain Airbags help provide protection for all passengers in side impacts. Avalon also features a driver\'s knee airbag as standard equipment.
