Outline
Daytime Running Light System
This system is designed to automatically activate the headlights during the
daytime to keep the car highly visible to other vehicles.
As in the previous model, the headlights are activated by reducing the nor-
mal high beam brightness.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the previous model.
Light Auto Turn±Off System
When the ignition key is turned from the ON or ACC to LOCK position and
the driver's door is opened with the taillights and headlights turned on, this
system automatically turns them off.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the previous model.
Light Auto Turn±Off System
This system is useful when entering the vehicle and inserting the ignition key
into the cylinder in the dark.
2 types of this system are used in the new Camry.
In the first type, when the doors are opened, this system turns on the illu-
minations around ignition key cylinder and dome light (only when the con-
trol switch is set to the DOOR position) simultaneously. These lights fade
out in about 15 seconds. However, under certain conditions such as when all
doors are locked, the lights will turn off immediately even if the system is
operating.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the '97 Avalon.
In the second type, when the door is opened, this system turns on the illu-
minations around the ignition key cylinder. This illumination remains on for
about 5 seconds after the door is closed.

104BODY ELECTRICALÐAIR CONDITIONING
3. Defroster Nozzle
The front defroster nozzle inner wall is modified into a radial configuration for a smoother air flow and improved
defroster performance.
4. Air Conditioning Amplifier
On the new Camry, the air conditioning amplifier that is provided on the 1MZ±FE engine model is an individual
amplifier unit type and on the 5S±FE engine model is a type that is integrated with the ECM.
The air conditioning amplifier controls the air conditioning system in accordance with the signals received from
sensors, switches, etc.
Function
Details
Magnetic Clutch Relay Control
When the blower switch and the air conditioning switch are turned on to-
gether, or when the air outlet mode is switched to defroster, the magnetic
clutch relay turns on and activates the compressor.
When one of the following conditions is met while the compressor is
turned on, the magnetic clutch relay is turned off and stops the compres-
sor:
i) The air temperature immediately after passing through the evaporator
is detected to be below 3C (37.4F) by the thermistor.
ii) The compressor speed detected by the lock sensor is compared with
the engine speed signal, and the compressor's slip rate exceeds a pre-
determined level (compressor locked).
iii) ªAir conditioner cutº was requested by the ECM to maintain engine
performance or idling speed.
Compressor Delay ControlWhen the air conditioning switch is turned on, the engagement of the mag-
netic clutch is delayed.
Air Conditioning Indicator Light
Control
When the blower switch and the air conditioning switch are turned on to-
gether, or when the air outlet mode is switched to defroster, and the com-
pressor is activated, the indicator lamp of the air conditioning switch is
turned on.
If compressure lock occurs during compressor operation, the indicator
lamp flashes every 1 second.
