94BODYÐRUST±RESISTANT BODY
RUST±RESISTANT BODY
Rust±resistant performance is enhanced by extensive use of anti±corrosion sheet steel and is performing and
anti±corrosion treatment by applying wax, sealer and anti±chipping paint to easily corroded parts such as the hood,
doors and rocker panels.
ANTI±CORROSION SHEET STEEL
Galvannealed sheet steel is used in all areas other than the interior parts and the roof. However, on models produced
by TMC, zinc±iron alloy double layer galvannealed sheet steel is used for quarter panel.

WAX AND SEALER
Wax and sealer are applied to the hemmed portions fo the hood, door panels and luggage compartment door to
improve rust±resistant performance.
UNDER COAT
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) coating is applied to the under side of the body. Athick coating to improve rust resistant
performane is applied to the bottome side of the cowl panel, the fender apron and other parts which are subject to
damage by flying stones, etc.
ANTI±CHIPPING APPLICATION
Anti±chipping paint and PVC chipping primer are applied to the lower door panel area, front and rear wheel arches
and the rocker panel area to protect them from flying stones. In addition, soft±chip primer is applied to the hood.

LOW VIBRATION, LOW NOISE BODY
Effective application of vibration damping and noide suppressant materials reduces engine and road noise.
SOUND ABSORBING AND VIBRATION DAMPING MATERIALS
Sandwich panels are ussed in the dash panel, cowl panel, front floor panel and rear wheel housings.
Resin binding asphalt sheet and foamed asphalt sheet are optimally allocated to reduce engine and road noise for
quieter vehicle operation.
Foamed material is applied onto the roof panel and pillars to reduce wind noise.

97 BODYÐAERODYNAMICS
AERODYMANICS
To improve aerodynamic performance, the following measures have been taken.
1.A large rain gutter has been provided in the front pillar to ensure a smooth airflow from the front to the side.
2. The front edge of the hood and the area around the headlights offers a smooth shape with minimal level
differences for smooth airflow characteristics.
3.The under shape of the front bumper collcts the flow of air under the floor.
4. To ensure a smooth side airflow, the rear side corners have been provided with a sharper angle.
5.To ensure a smoooth airflow from the roof to the rear, the shape of the luggage compartment door has been
optimized.
6.The gody line from the roof to the luggage compartment allwos the air to flow smoothly from the top of the roof
to ther rear.

MOULDING
A large rain gutter is incorporated in the windshield moulding to prevent the flow of the rain or washer fluid to the
side windows.
Also, this rain gutter helps control the airflow to the side window, the minimizing wind noise.

CRS (CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM)
The CRS is enclosed in the seatback for the right rear seat in order to provide a comfortable and safe restraint seating
for a child in the 22 to 60 lbs. (10.0 to 27.2 kg) range. When the CRS is not being used, it can be retracted to perform
the normal seating function of the rear seat.
The CRS uses a 5±point seat belt.

LIGHTING
DESCRIPTION
The new Camry has the following features:
Item
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.

101 BODY ELECTRICALÐAIR CONDITIONING
AIR CONDITIONING
DESCRIPTION
1. General
The air conditioning system in the new Camry has the following features:
The rotary switch and lever type heater control panel is used.
As in the previous model, an air conditioning unit that incorporates a blower, heater and cooler unit, has been
adopted.
The duct size of the blower unit has been enlarged.
An aluminum heater core has been adopted on all models.
The defroster nozzle inner wall is modified into a radial configuration for smoother air flow.
A defroster±linked air conditioning start up control, which automatically engages the air conditioning when the
defroster mode has been selected, is provided.
The air conditioning amplifier which is integrated with the ECM has been adopted on the 5S±FE engine model.
