CAMRY ± OUTLINE OF NEW FEATURES27
8. Brakes
The specifications of the front and rear brakes have been changed.
9. Suspension
The front and rear springs, stabilizers, and shock absorbers have been modified to realize excellent stability,
controllability, and riding comfort.
10. Steering

11. Body
Hood support dampers are used.
Two utility hooks added in the luggage room for the gasoline engine model.

out for the 5S-FNE engine model.
A performance rod that joins the tops of the right and left rear suspension strut towers has been adopted
for the 5S-FNE engine model.
The shape of the rear floor pan has been changed to prevent the luggage compartment capacity from being
reduced as a result of the installation of the fuel tank in the luggage compartment for the 5S-FNE engine
model.
12. Seat
The seat cover of the LE grade model has been changed.
Optional driver power seat added for the LE grade model.
A fixed type seat back is used for the rear seat for the 5S-FNE engine model.
13. Seat Belt
2-point NR (Non-Retractor) seat belt is used for the rear center seat for the 5S-FNE engine model.
14. Wireless Door Lock Control
Audio answer back is adopted.
15. Lighting
Along with the adoption of the 4-beam headlights, the electrical circuit of the daytime running light system
has been changed.
16. Air Conditioning
The air inlet mode selector of heater control panel has been changed from the lever type to the push button
type on the CE and LE grade model.
When the air outlet mode is set to the DEF or FOOT / DEF mode, the air inlet mode also changes to the
FRESH mode, has been also added on the CE and LE grade model.
A fully automatic controlled type air conditioning is used on the XLE grade model.
A defroster-linked air conditioning start up control has been continuing to use since the previous models
with air conditioning.
17. SRS Airbag
The inflator of the SRS airbag for the driver has been made more compact and lightweight.
A signal that causes the supply of fuel to be cut off during a frontal collision is output by the airbag sensor
assembly to the ECM for the 5S-FNE engine model.

2) Fuel Shutoff Valve for Fuel Tank
This valve uses an solenoid valve. The main pipe that supplies compressed gas to the engine is connected
to this valve, which opens when the ignition switch is turned ON. If the engine stalls, this valve automati-
cally shuts off the fuel even if the ignition switch is turned ON. The valve reopens upon restarting the
engine.
Also, this valve shuts off the fuel if the SRS airbag is deployed in a collision or if the pressure in the main
pipe becomes abnormally low.
3) Inlet Check Valve
Connected to a filler pipe that guides the fuel that fills through the coupler, the inlet check valve shuts
off by the force of a spring and by the pressure of the gas in the tank.
During filling, the pressure of the filling gas opens the inlet check valve.
4) Relief Valve
A vent tube is connected to this valve.
If the fuel tank is exposed to an abnormally high temperature, this valve opens (by melting) to discharge
the CNG at a predetermined temperature, thus helping prevent the fuel tank from bursting due to the in-
crease in gas pressure.
The discharged CNG is guided under the floor through a vent tube and is released outside of the vehicle.
Coupler
The coupler allows the fuel to be filled when it is connected with a fuel filling nozzle. The coupler has a
built-in check valve to help prevent the CNG from flowing backward.
Manual Shutoff Valve
This valve is mounted below the vehicle floor.
When servicing the vehicle, this valve can be
manually turned 90 degrees to shut off the main
pipe.

Fuel Filter
Mounted below the vehicle floor, the fuel filter
removes any moisture or oil from the fuel.
Fuel Pressure Regulator
The fuel pressure regulator regulates the fuel pressure by reducing the pressure of the compressed natural
gas from the fuel tank to the fuel injection pressure, which is 8 kg / cm
2 (114 psi, 785 kPa).
Similar to the fuel shutoff valve for the fuel tank, a fuel shutoff valve is provided on the fuel inlet side
of the fuel pressure regulator to shut off the supply of fuel when the engine is stopped or during abnormal
conditions.
An oil separator that traps the moisture and oil in the fuel is provided on the low pressure side.
A built-in relief valve is provided to protect the parts located on the low pressure side.
While the fuel pressure is being reduced by the fuel pressure regulator, the Joule-Thomson effect
associated with the expansion of the gas causes the fuel pressure regulator to be cooled excessively, exert-
ing unfavorable influence on the rubber parts such as diaphragms and fuel hoses.
Therefore, to raise the gas temperature, a water passage is provided in the fuel pressure regulator to allow
the engine coolant to warm the regulator.

BODY
To install the fuel tank in the front area of the luggage compartment, the upper back panel has been cut
for the 5S-FNE engine model.
To prevent reducing the rigidity of the body due to the upper back panel that has been cut out, as well as
for installing the fuel tank, rear seat back, and package tray trim, a performance rod is used for joining both
rear suspension strut towers for the 5S-FNE engine model.
The luggage door support has been changed from the torsion bar to the damper stay type for the 5S-FNE
engine model.
To prevent reducing the capacity of the luggage compartment due to the installation of the fuel tank in the
luggage compartment, the shape of the rear floor pan has been changed.
