 TILT STEERING
The tilt steering is standard on all models.
The steering wheel position can be changed to any of 6 positions..
 POWER WINDOW SYSTEM
A power window system is standard on the LE and XLE grade models and optional on the CE grade model. The power
window system includes one±touch auto down and key±off operation functions. The one±touch auto down function
automatically opens the driver's side window fully. The key±off operation function makes it possible to operate the
power windows for approximately 45 seconds after the ignition key is turned to the ACC or LOCK position, if the
front doors are not opened.
 DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM
The door lock control system with 2±step unlock function is standard on the LE and XLE grade model and optional
as a set with the power window system on the CE grade model. With the 2±step function, turning the key once in
the driver's door unlocks the driver's door only. Turning it twice unlocks all the doors.
A key confinement prevention function is provided. When the door is opened and the door lock button is locked
with the key still inserted in the ignition key cylinder, the key confinement prevention mechanism immediately
turns the door lock button to unlock. This prevents the key from being inadvertently locked inside the vehicle.

 KEY REMINDER SYSTEM
All vehicles have a key reminder system as standard equipment. When the ignition key is left inserted in the ignition
key cylinder at ACC or LOCK positioon and the driver's door is opened, this system sounds a warning tone to remind
the driver to remove the ignition key.
 SRS AIRBAG
For all models, the new Camry has as standard equipment a driver's airbag in the steering wheel pad and a front
passenger airbag located in the instrument panel above the glove box.
 CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM
The cruise control system is standard equipment on the LE and XLE grade model and an option on the CE grade
models. The main switch and control switch are on the a single lever, which is installed on the steering wheel and
can be operated easily.
 ILLUMINATED ENTRY SYSTEM
An illuminated entry system is standard equipment on the LE and XLE models. This system makes it easy to let
the Camry in and out at night, etc.
On the LE grade model, the ignition key cylinder illumination is turned on automatically when the door is opened.
When the door is closed, the ignition key cylinder illumination remains on for approximately 5 seconds, then goes
off automatically.
On the XLE grade model, the illuminated entry system turns on the dome light and ignition key cylinder
illumination for approximately 15 seconds after either door is closed when passengers are entering or leaving the
vehicle. While these lights are on for 15 seconds, if the ignition switch is turned to the ACC or ON position, or if
all doors are locked, the dome light and ignition key cylinder illuminatioons go off immediately.

2. Energy Absorbing Mechanism
Construction
The energy absorbing mechanism of the steering
column consists of a lower bracket, breakaway
bracket, and energy absorbing plate.
The breakaway bracket is attached to the instrument
panel reinforcement vial the capsule and energy
absorbing plate.
The steering column and the steering gear box are
connected with an elastic intermediate shaft.
Operation
The collision is transmitted to the steering wheel, and the lower bracket and the breakaway breacket will become
detached from each other, thus moving the entire unit forward. At the same time, the energy absorbingt plate becomes
deformed to absorb the energy of the impact.

 SRS AIRBAG
1. General
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbag is designed to help lessening the shock to the driver and front
passenger as a supplement to the seat belt. In a collision, the aribag sensor detects the shock and if the front±to±rear
shock is greater than a specified value, the airbags stored in the steering wheel pad for the driver and above the glove
box for the front passenger inflate instantly to help reducing the likelihood of the driver's or front passenger's head
and chest directly hitting the steering wheel or instrument panel.
As in the '96 Avalon, a 1±sensor type airbag system is used, in chich the detection of deceleration during a collision
is accomplished by the airbag sensor enclosed in the airbag snesor assembly.
The airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. It has a self±diagnosis function. When it detects a
system malfunction, it lights up the SRS warning light on the combination meter to alert the driver.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in teh '96 Avalon. However, 2 types of the inflator for front
passenger have been adopted in the new Camry: TRW made and Morton made. Also, the construction of airbag sensor
assembly has been changed.

System Diagram
The activation processes of the SRS airbag is as illustrated below.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS ON RELATED COMPONENTS
1. SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
Locations of SRS Components
Servicing vehicle with a Supplemental Restraint System (referred to as the SRS in the remainder of this
manual) installed.
When handling SRS components (removal, installation or inspection, etc.), always follow the directions
given in the repair manual for the relevant model year to prevent the occurrence of accidents and airbag
malfunction.
Also take the following precautions when repairing the body:

Work must be started after 90 seconds or longer from the time the ignition switch is set to the LOCK
position and the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery.
(The airbag system is equipped with a back±up power source so that if work is started within 90 sec-
onds of disconnecting the negative (±) terminal cable of the battery, the airbag may be deployed.)
When the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, memory of the clock and audio
systems will be cancelled. So before starting work, make a record of the contents memorized by each
memory system. Then when work is finished, reset the clock and audio systems as before.
When the vehicle has tilt and telescopic steering, power seat, outside rear view mirror and power shoul-
der belt anchorage, which are all equipped with memory function, it is not possible to make a record of
the memory contents. So when the operation is finished, it will be necessary to explain this fact to the
customer, and request the customer to adjust the features and reset the memory.

When using electric welding, first disconnect the SRS connector (yellow color and 2 pins) under the
steering column near the combination switch connector on the glove compartment finish plate and
lower the front scuff plate before starting work.

Suspension and Axle (SA) section

Before repairing the body, remove the SRS parts if, during repair, shocks are likely to be applied to
the sensors due to vibrations of the body or direct tapping with tools or other parts.

Do not expose the SRS parts directly to hot air or flames
NOTICE:
1) The maximum ambient temperature tolerance is 120
°C (248°F) for the front airbag sensor,
105
°C (221°F) for the center airbag sensor assembly and 93°C (200°F) for the steering wheel
pad, and front passenger airbag assembly. If it is possible that the ambient temperature may
reach or exceed the temperature limit, remove the sensors and the steering wheel pad from the
vehicle or protect them with a hot insulation material before staring work.
2) Prior to welding, remove adjacent, SRS parts form tire vehicle or protect them with fire±proof
covers.

If the vehicle is damaged, visually inspect for damage to the steering wheel pad using the inspection
procedures described in section RS of the repair manual for the relevant model year.

When removing or handling the steering wheel pad, and front passenger airbag assembly keep the
pad upper surface facing upward. Also, lock the lock lever of the twin lock type connector at the rear
of the pad and take care not to damage the connector.
(Storing the pad or front passenger airbag assembly with its metallic surface up may lead to a seri-
ous accident if the airbag inflates for some reason.)

Store the steering wheel pad and the front passenger airbag assembly where the ambient tempera-
ture remains below 93°C (200°F), without high humidity and away from electrical noise.

Be careful not to let painting materials contact the SRS parts.

Information labels are attached to the periphery of the SRS components. Follow the NOTICES.

Store the airbag assembly where the ambient temperature remains below 93°C (200°F), without
high humidity and away from electrical noise.
2. BRAKE SYSTEM
The brake system is one of the most important safety components. Always follow the directions and
notes given in section BR of the repair manual for the relevant model year when handling brake sys-
tem parts.
NOTICE: When repairing the brake master cylinder or TRAC system, bleed the air out of the TRAC
system.
3. DRIVE TRAIN AND CHASSIS
The drive train and chassis are components that can have great effects on the running performance
and vibration resistance of the vehicle. After installing components in the sections listed in the table
below, perform alignments to ensure correct mounting angles and dimensions. Particularly accurate
repair of the body must also be done to ensure correct alignment.
HINT: Correct procedures and special tools are required for alignment. Always follow the directions
given in the repair manual for the relevant model year during alignment and section DI of this manual.
