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.

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

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.

Injector Control
1) General
Fuel clearing control and injector unsticking control have been added to the injector control.
2) Fuel Clearing Control
While the vehicle is being driven at speeds higher than 60 km / h (37.5 mph), and the ignition switch is
turned OFF after the ECM has detected a low temperature condition of less than 25C (77F) of intake
air temperature, the ECM closes the fuel shutoff valve for the delivery pipe. However, instead of immedi-
ately stopping the engine, the fuel clearing control allows the engine to stop on its own after the fuel in
the delivery pipe has been used up. If the engine is running even after 2 seconds or more have elapsed
after the ignition switch has been turned OFF, the EFI relay is turned OFF to stop the engine.
3) Injector Unsticking Control
When the ignition switch is turned ON after executing the fuel clearing control, the injector unsticking
control activates two cylinders at a time to unstick the valve that is frozen stuck onto the valve seat. At
low temperature conditions. At this time, the shutoff valve remains closed so that the injectors will not
inject fuel.
Gas Leak Judgment
If the ECM has detected a gas leak through the signals received from the pressure sensors, the ECM closes
the shutoff valves and flashes the low fuel level warning light.
These functions are canceled by resetting the ECM (by disconnecting the negative [-] terminal of the bat-
tery), which enables the engine to start.
(The ECM should be reset only after performing a gas leak check and making sure that the leak has been
eliminated.)
NOTE: The low fuel level warning light also flashes when the fuel level is extremely low. The flashing
patterns shown below differentiates a gas leak from a low fuel level.

ENGINE COOLANT INSPECTION
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVOIR
TANK
The engine coolant level should be between the
ªLOWº and ªFULLº lines at low temperature.
If low, check for leaks and add engine coolant up to
the ªFULLº
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
There should be no excessive deposits of rust or
scales around the radiator cap or radiator filler hole,
and the engine coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, replace the engine coolant.
2. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The oil level should be between the ªLº and ªFº marks
on the dipstick.
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the ªFº
mark.
