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
A check valve has been added to the power steering gear box to help reduce kickback.
The rack stroke of the 5S-FE engine model has been changed to 145mm (5.71 in.), which is the same as
in the 1MZ-FE engine.
11. Body
Hood support dampers are used.
Two utility hooks added in the luggage room for the gasoline engine model.
To install the fuel tank in the front area of the luggage compartment, the upper back panel has been cut
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.

CAMRY ± NEW FEATURES54
1MZ-FE ENGINE
The following items have been changed in the '00 CAMRY.
The system for detecting evaporative emission leaks has been changed.
For details, see the General 2000 Features section.
A thermostat monitor function has been newly provided. This function monitors the changes in the coolant
temperature at the time the engine is started, and if the coolant temperature does not reach a specified value
within a prescribed length of time, the thermostat is determined to be faulty.
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
As in the 5S-FE engine model, the A140E automatic transaxle is used on the 5S-FNE engine model.
The gear ratio of the differential has been lowered to accommodate the performance of the 5S-FNE engine
and to ensure fuel economy.

LIGHTING
The 4-light multi-reflector type headlights are adopted with new styling.
Along with the adoption of the 4-beam headlights, the daytime running light system has been changed
from the '99 model type that uses resistors to dim the low beams. On the 2000 model, the daytime running
light is a type that dims the right and left high beams through a series circuit.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To obtain a high purification rate for the C0, HC and NOx components of the exhaust gas, a three±
way catalytic converter is used, but for most efficient use of the three±way catalytic converter, the
air±fuel ratio must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air±fuel ra-
tio. The oxygen sensor has the characteristic whereby its output voltage changes suddenly in the
vicinity of the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio. This characteristic is used to detect the oxygen con-
centration in the exhaust gas and provide feedback to the computer for control of the air±fuel ratio.
When the air±fuel ratio becomes LEAN, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust increases and the
oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the LEAN condition (small electromotive force; 0 V).
When the air±fuel ratio is RICHER than the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio the oxygen concentration in
the exhaust gas is reduced and the oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the RICH condition (large
electromotive force: 1 V). The ECM judges by the electromotive force from the oxygen sensor
whether the air±fuel ratio is RICH or LEAN and controls the injection time accordingly. However, if
malfunction of the oxygen sensor causes output of abnormal electromotive force, the ECM is un-
able to perform accurate air±fuel ratio control.
Main oxygen sensor signal voltage is reduced to
between 0.35 V and 0.70 V for 60 sec. under
conditions (a) ± (d).

105 BODY ELECTRICALÐACCESSORIES
ACCESSORIES

DESCRIPTION
The new Camry includes the accessory systems shown in the below.
System
Outline
Power Window System
The power window system includes one±touch auto down and key±off opera-
tion functions. The one±touch auto down function automatically opens the
driver 's door window fully. The key±off operation function makes it possible
to operate the power windows for approximately 45 seconds after the igni-
tion key is turned to the ACC or LOCK position, if the front doors are not
opened.
The basic construction and operation of this system are the same as in the
previous model.
Door Lock Control System
This system has a ªkey±linked lock and unlock functionº and a ªkey±confine
prevention functionº. All doors can be locked and unlocked simultaneously
by a key operation at the front right or left foor. (The key needs to be oper-
ated twice to unlock all the doors at the driver's door.) If the door lock opera-
tion is performed when one of the front doors is open and the ignition key is
inserted in the key cylinder, doors are unlocked automatically to prevent the
ignition key from being left inside the vehicle.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the previous model.
Wireless Door Lock Remote Con-
trol System
A remote control system in which the lock and unlock functions of all doors
and panic alarm function can be controlled by the signals emitted from a
transmitter is adopted. The transmitter is also provided with a 2±step unlock
function to unlock all the doors by pressing the switch twice.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the '96 Avalon.
However, certain functions have been changed. For details, see page 107.
Theft Deterrent System
When an attempt is made to forcibly enter the vehicle or open the hood or
trunk lid without a key, or when the battery terminals are removed and re-
connected, this system sounds the horn and flashes the headlights and tail-
lights for about 1 minute to alert the owner. At the same time, it locks all the
doors and electronically disconnects the starter.
The basic operation is the same as in the '96 Avalon.
Power Seat
As in the previous model, the front seats are power assisted by electric mo-
tors so that the seat positions can be adjusted easily by a simple switch op-
eration.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the previous model.
