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.

INNER REAR VIEW MIRROR
The inner rear view mirror is the type that is
mounted on the inside of the front windshield glass.
OVERHEAD CONSOLE
An overhead console is provided in front of the map lamp to store a garage door opener transmitter. This console
is constructed to enable the operation of a transmitter in its stored state.
Also, by changing its cover, the console can be used to store a pair of sunglasses.
SUN VISOR
Extension plates have been added to reduce glare
coming into the vehicle from the side.

CUP HOLDER
2 cup holders are provided in the front of the console
box. 2 cup holders for the rear passengers are
provided in the rear of the console.
POWER OUTLET
A power outlet is provided under the ashtray. The
power outlet can be used to supply power to various
car accessories.

ENGINE
5S±FE ENGINE
DESCRIPTION
The 5S±FE engine has improved the torque in the low±to±mid±speed range through improvements made for the intake
and exhaust systems and the combustion chamber. In addition, its exhaust emissions have been reduced through the
improvements made for the exhaust system and the engine control system.

MAJOR DIFFERENCES
Major differences between the new 5S±FE engine and previous engine are listed below.
Item
Features
Engine ProperThe squish area of the combustion chamber in the cylinder head has been
optimised to improve torque in the low±to mid±speed range.
Cooling SystemAn aluminum radiator core is used for weight reduction.
Intake and Exhaust System
The ports of the manifold have been extended to improve torque in the low±
to mid±speed range.
The exhaust manifold is made of stainless steel plates for improve engine per-
formance and weight reduction.
Through the optimized allocation of the exhaust pipe supports, the number of
supports has been reduced from 5 to 4, thus reducing the noise and vibration
which are transmitted to the vehicle body.
Fuel SystemA fuel returnless system has been adopted to prevent the internal temperature
of the fuel tank from rising and to reduce evaporative emissions.
Ignition SystemThe DIS (Direct Ignition System) contributes to the powerful high output by
providing a powerful spark to the engine.
Engine MountingTo reduce noise and vibration and to improve drivability, the allocation of the
engine mounts*1 and their characteristics have been revised.
Engine Control System
The injection pattern for engine starting have changed form the 2 group
injection type to sequential multiport injection type.
In place of the oxygen sensor (bank 1, sensor 1), a new air fuel ratio sensor has
been adopted. *
2
The power steering idle±up control has been changed from the system using
an air control valve to the one using a pressure switch and an IAC valve.
Emission Control System
The EGR valve body has been changed from cast iron to aluminum alloy for
weight reduction.
A TWC (Three±Way Catalytic Converter) that is integrated with a stainless
steel exhaust manifold has been adopted.*
2
The TWC, which was previously installed below the exhaust manifold has
been discontinued.*3

ENGINE PROPER
1. Cylinder Head
The squish area of the combustion chamber in the cylinder head has been optimized to improve torque in the low±
to mid±speed range.
INTAKE AND EXHAUAST SYSTEM
1. Intake Manifold
The low± to mid±speed range torque has been improved by increasing the length of the intake manifold port and by
reducing the intake air chamber capacity.
