SEAT BELT WARNING SYSTEM
1. General
A seat belt warning for the front passenger has been newly provided. When the front passenger seat is occu-
pied but its seat belt is not being worn, this function flashes a warning light to inform the front passenger that
the seat belt is not being worn.
2. Seat Belt Warning for Front Passenger
Construction
The seat belt warning for the front passenger consists of the front passenger seat belt buckle / retractor
switch, occupant detection sensor, seat belt warning light for the front passenger.
1) Belt Warning Occupant Detection Sensor
The occupant detection sensor, which is enclosed in the seat cushion of the front passenger seat, is used
to detect whether or not the front passenger seat is occupied.
This sensor, which is shaped as illustrated below, consists of a construction in which two sheets of elec-
trodes sandwich a spacer. When the occupant is seated, the electrode sheets come in contact with each
other through the hole that is provided in the spacer portion, thus enabling the current to flow.
Thus, the sensor detects whether or not an occupant is seated in the front passenger seat.

2) Front Passenger Seat Belt Buckle / Retractor Switch
The front passenger seat belt buckle / retractor switch is enclosed in the seat belt buckle / retractor of the
front passenger seat to detect whether or not the seat belt for the front passenger is being worn.
3) Seat Belt Warning Light for Front Passenger
The seat belt warning light for front passenger flashes to warn if the front passenger does not have the
seat belt buckled.
Operation
When an occupant is seated in the front passenger seat, the occupant detection sensor activates, thus enab-
ling the system to recognize that the occupant has seated. When the ignition switch is turned ON, a warning
light flashes if the front passenger is not wearing the seat belt. The warning light continues to flash until
the front passenger wears the seat belt.
If the front passenger seat is not occupied, the warning light remains extinct regardless of the condition of
the seat belt.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION Ð OUTLINE OF NEW FEATURES3
OUTLINE OF NEW FEATURES
An engine that is based on the 5S-FE engine, yet uses natural gas, has been developed in order to reduce
exhaust emissions and the amount of CO
2 discharge. A model that uses this alternative fuel engine has been
added to the Camry lineup. The characteristics of the new model are listed below.
1. Exterior
A CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) mark is affixed to the luggage compartment door.
2. 5S-FNE Engine
Based on the 5S-FE gasoline engine, the 5S-FNE engine uses compressed natural gas. The fuel lines have
been designed exclusively for compressed natural gas application.
3. A140E Automatic Transaxle
The gear ratio of the differential has been changed to accommodate the performance of the 5S-FNE engine.
4. Brakes
Basically, the same brakes used on the 5S-FE engine model are used on the CNG model, except that the
size of the front brakes has been changed.
5. Suspension
To accommodate the weight increase of the rear section of the vehicle as a result of having the fuel tank
installed in the luggage compartment, the specification of the springs used in the rear suspension has been
changed to realize excellent riding comfort, stability, and controllability.
6. Tire
P205/65 R 15 tire is used.
7. Body

To install the fuel tank in the front area of the luggage compartment, the upper back panel has been
cut out.

A performance rod that joins the tops of the right and left rear suspension strut towers has been adopted.

The shape of the rear floor pan has been changed to prevent the luggage compartment capacity from
being reduced as a result of the installation of the fuel tank in the luggage compartment.
8. Seat
A fixed type seat back is used for the rear seat.
9. Seat Belt
2-point NR (Non-Retractor) seat belt is used for the rear center seat.
10. SRS Airbag
A signal that causes the supply of fuel to be cut off during a frontal collision is output by the airbag sensor
assembly to the ECM.

5S-FNE ENGINE
DESCRIPTION
The 5S-FNE engine is a new engine that uses CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) as fuel, which has been
developed based on the 5S-FE gasoline engine.
The main component of natural gas is methane (CH
4), which has fewer carbons (C) than gasoline (mean
molecular formula: C
7.5H13.4). Therefore, the amount of CO2 discharged by this engine is approximately
70% that of the gasoline engine. Furthermore, this engine achieves low-emission operation by precisely
controlled air-fuel ratio and using special catalysts for the CNG application.
However, because the fuel is in the gaseous form, its volumetric efficiency is low, causing lower power
output if this fuel is used in the base engine.
Therefore, the 5S-FNE engine has adopted the following features: a high compression ratio, the intake
valves with early closed timing, the intake and exhaust valves with increased lift, a low back pressure muffler
made possible by the 2-way exhaust system, injectors for gaseous fuel, and a catalytic converter designed
exclusively for CNG application. At the same time, precision air-fuel ratio control is effected through the
use of the air-fuel ratio sensor* and the heater oxygen sensor, thus achieving the level of performance that
is equivalent to the base engine. Moreover, this engine realizes extremely low emissions and restoring engine
torque.
*: Already adopted on the California specification 5S-FE engine.
