2000 TOYOTA CAMRY weight

90BODYÐLIGHTWEIGHT AND HIGHLY RIGID BODY
 BODY SHELL
The body of the new Camry is made highly rigid through the optimization of the location of reinforcements, the
continuity in underbody members, and via excellent joint rigidity.
At each pillar, a continuous einforcement is provided from where the pillar meets the roof, all the way to the rocker,
thus resulting in a strong pillar construction. In addition, the areas where the pillar joins the roof side rail and the rocker
have been strengthened to realize excellent body rigidity.

91 BODYÐLIGHTWEIGHT AND HIGHLY RIGID BODY
 DOORS
A twin±pipe type side impact protection beams are mounted in the center space between the front door panels.
Similarly, a side impact protection beam is provided in the rear door.

 IMPACT ABSORBING STRUCTURE
1. General
The impact absorbing structure of the new Camry provides a body construction that can effectively absorb the energy
of impact in the event of a front, rear, or side collision. Also, it realizes an excellent occupant protection performance
through the use of reinforcements and members that help minimize cabin deformation.
2. Construction
Impact Absorbing Structure for Front/Rear Collision
In conjunction with the evision made to the impact absorbing structure for a front or rear collision, the cross section
of the underbody members, pillars, and reinforcements have been increased in size and thickness of the materal used.
Accordingly, the underbody and cabin framework were made to efficienlty absorb and dissipate the impact energy
in case of a front or rear collision, thus realizeing a body struture to minimize cabin deformation.

93 BODYÐLIGHTWEIGHT AND HIGHLY RIGID BODY
Impact Absorbing Structure for Side Collision
Impact energy of a side collision directed to the cabin area is dispersed throughout the body via pillar reinforcements,
side impact protection beams, floor cross members, etc. This dispersion of energy keeps the energy directed to the
cabin to a minimum level. In additon, the body is made highly rigid through the cabin space. And, in order to make
the door more energy absorbent, a closed cross section configuration is provided at the belt line area of the front and
rear doors.
Also, a soft upper interior construction has been adopted. With this type of constrution, if the occupant's head collides
against the roof side rail in reaction to a collision, the inner panel of the roof side rail collapses to reduct the impact.

 CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM
1. General
Once the system is set to a desired vehicle speed, the engine throttle position is adjusted automatically to maintain
the vehicle speed at that speed without depressing the accelerator pedal.
The basic sonstruction and operation of this system are the same as the previous model. However, on the new model,
the control method for the manual and auto cancel functions have been changed. Also, a new motor type actuator
that is both lightweight and simple in construction has been adopted.
2. Construction and Operation
Actuator
The new Camry has adopted a new motor type actuator. The new motor type actuator consists of a motor, control link
and limit swit h, etc. as shown belwo.
The potentiometer hat measured the opening angle of the control link and transmitted the signals to the cruise control
ECU has been discontinued in the new actuator. The new actuator is equipped it with a compact motor. As a result,
the new actuator is made both lightweight and simple in construction.
Without the potentiometer, the new actuator contnuously regulates the opening angle of the control link.
This is made possible by the ECU, which compares the curent vehiclespeed input with the desired vehicle speed that
is stored in memory, and the result of that comparison is transmitted to the actuator.
