INTERIOR
A clock with an outside temperature gauge has been provided on the models with manual air conditioning.
Pressing the mode switch changes the display to show the clock, outside air temperature in Fahrenheit,
outside air temperature in Centigrade, and back to the clock.
The models with the fully automatic control type air conditioning are provided with an outside temperature
gauge on the heater control panel.
Wood-grain panels have been adopted in the interior of the XLE grade model.

2. Major Difference
The following changes have made to the 5S-FE engine.
Item
Details
Intake and Exhaust
System
The intake system from the inlet duct to the throttle body has been
improved to increase torque and reduce noise.
A 2-way exhaust control system has been adopted on the TMMK made
model.
Fuel SystemAlong with the discontinuance of the air assist system, the fuel injectors and
the IAC valve have been changed for the California specification model.
Cooling SystemThe direction of the rotation of the electric cooling fan has been reversed.
Engine Control
System
The fast idle speed has been increased for the California specification
model.
The system for detecting evaporative emission leaks has been changed.
For details, see the General 2000 Features section.
3. Intake and Exhaust System
Intake Air Line
An ejection pipe that protrudes into the air cleaner case has been added. Accordingly, the hybrid resonator
has been discontinued and a torque-up resonator has been added. Also, the shape of the inlet duct has been
changed to improve the engine performance and to reduce noise.

2-Way Exhaust Control System
A 2-way exhaust control system is used on the TMMK made model. This system reduces the back pressure
by opening and closing a control valve that is enclosed in the main muffler, thus varying the exhaust gas
passage.
The control valve opens steplessly in accordance with the operating condition of the engine, thus enabling
a quieter operation at lower engine speeds, and reducing back pressure at higher engine speeds.
The basic operation is the same as that of the CAMRY SOLARA.
4. Fuel System
Fuel Injector
Along with the discontinuance of the air assist system on the California specification model, 12-hole fuel
injectors with highly atomized injection have been adopted.

5S-FNE ENGINE
1. Description
The 5S-FNE engine is a new engine that uses CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) as fuel, which has been devel-
oped based on the 5S-FE gasoline engine.
The main component of natural gas is methane (CH
4), which has fewer carbous (C) than gasoline (mean mo-
lecular 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 exclu-
sively 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 equiva-
lent to the base engine. Moreover, this engine realizes extremely low emissions and restoring engine torque.
*: Already adopted on the California specification 5S-FE engine.
