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.

6. Fuel System
General
The compressed gas [maximum pressure approximately 250 kg / cm
2 (3600 psi, 24.8 MPa) @ 21C
(70F)] from the CNG fuel tank located in the rear section of the vehicle is routed via a fuel filter to the
engine compartment. The pressure of the fuel is then reduced to 8 kg / cm
2 (114 psi, 785 kPa).
A pressure regulator and injectors designed exclusively for CNG application have been adopted.
A fuel pressure sensor and a fuel temperature sensor that are used for the correction of the fuel injection
volume are located on the delivery pipe.
The fuel tank, pressure regulator, and the delivery pipe are provided with shutoff valves that shut off the
fuel when the ignition switch is turned OFF.
In addition, these valves shut off the fuel when the engine stalls, the SRS airbag is deployed, or the pres-
sure in the main pipe becomes abnormally low.
A fuel temperature sensor for the fuel gauge is mounted on the tank valve assembly, and a fuel pressure
sensor is mounted immediately upstream of the pressure regulator.

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.

8. Engine Control System
General
An engine control system based on the 5S-FE engine has been adopted. The knock sensor has been discon-
tinued because natural gas has a high octane value and is less susceptible to knocking.
The engine control system of 5S-FNE and 5S-FE engines are compared below.

Fuel Cut-Off
Control
The fuel shutoff valves for the fuel tank, fuel pressure
regulator, and delivery pipe are shut off to stop the
supply of fuel when the ignition switch is turned OFF or
during abnormal conditions (such as engine stalling,
SRS airbag deployed, etc.).

Injector ControlPrevents the frozen stuck of the injector to ensure the
startability of the engine at low temperature.Ð

fuel ratio sensor at an appropriate level to increase
accuracy of detection of the oxygen concentration in the
exhaust gas.

emissions (HC) in the charcoal canister in accordance
with engine conditions.

Air Conditioning
Cut-Off ControlBy turning the air conditioning compressor ON or OFF
in accordance with the engine condition, drivability is
maintained.

Diagnosis
When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM
diagnoses and memorized the failed section.
DiagnosisThe diagnosis system includes a function that detects a
malfunction in the evaporative emission control system.Ð
Fail-Safe
When the ECM detects a malfunction, the ECM stops or
controls the engine according to the data already stored
in memory.

INTERIOR
 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.
