2000 TOYOTA CAMRY fuel cap release

'99camry U
24
The indicator lamp goes off after driving
several times. If the indicator lamp does
not go off, contact your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible.
CAUTION

Make sure the cap is tightened se-
curely to prevent fuel spillage in
case of an accident.

Use only a genuine Toyota fuel tank
cap for replacement. It has a built±
in check valve to reduce fuel tank
vacuum.
Electric moon roof
Sliding operation
Tilting operation
To operate the moon roof, use the
switches beside the personal light.
The moon roof works when the ignition
switch is in the ºONº position. However,
if all the doors are closed, it works for 45
seconds even after the ignition switch is
turned off. It stops working when any of
the doors is opened.
Sun shade operationÐ
The sun shade can be opened or closed
by hand.
Sliding operationÐ
To open: Push the switch on the ºSLIDE
OPENº side.
The roof will fully open. To stop the roof
partway, push the switch on either the
ºSLIDE OPENº or ºTILT UPº side briefly.
The sun shade will be opened together
with the roof.
To close: Push the switch on the ºTILT
UPº side.
As a precaution when closing, the roof
stops at the three±quarters closed position
before fully closing. Therefore, release the
switch and then push it again to close it
completely.

CAUTION

Before driving off, make sure that
the parking brake is fully released
and the parking brake reminder
light is off.

Do not leave your vehicle unat-
tended while the engine is running.

Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal while driving. It can cause
dangerous overheating, needless
wear, and poor fuel economy.

To drive down a long or steep hill,
reduce your speed and downshift.
Remember, if you ride the brakes
excessively, they may overheat and
not work properly.

Be careful when accelerating, up-
shifting, downshifting or braking on
a slippery surface. Sudden accelera-
tion or engine braking could cause
the vehicle to spin or skid.

Do not drive in excess of the speed
limit. Even if the legal speed limit
permits it, do not drive over 140
km/h (85 mph) unless your vehicle
has high±speed capability tires.
Driving over 140 km/h (85 mph) may
result in tire failure, loss of control
and possible injury. Be sure to con-
sult a tire dealer to determine
whether the tires on your vehicle
are high±speed capability tires or
not before driving at such speeds.

Do not continue normal driving
when the brakes are wet. If they are
wet, your vehicle will require a
longer stopping distance, and it
may pull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Also, the park-
ing brake will not hold the vehicle
securely.
Winter driving tips
Make sure you have a proper freeze
protection of engine coolant.
Your coolant must contain ethylene±glycol
type coolant for a proper corrosion
protection of aluminum components. Use
ºToyota Long Life Coolantº or equivalent.
See Chapter 7±2 for details about coolant
type selection.
NOTICE
Do not use alcohol type antifreeze or
plain water alone.
When it is extremely cold, we recommend
to use 60% solution for your Toyota, to
provide protection down to about ±505C
(±585F). Do not use more than 70% solu-
tion for better coolant performance.
Check the condition of the battery and
cables.
Cold temperatures reduce the capacity of
any battery, so it must be in top shape
to provide enough power for winter start-
ing. Chapter 7±3 tells you how to visually
inspect the battery. Your Toyota dealer
and most service stations will be pleased
to check the level of charge.

READINESS MONITOR DRIVE PATTERNS ± EG003-02 RevisedMarch 29, 2002
Page 15 of 23
Drive Pattern Preconditions
The monitor will not run unless:

MIL is OFF.

Fuel level is between 1/2 to 3/4 full (for faster completion)
.

Altitude is 7800 feet (2400 m) or less.

ECT (Coolant Temp) is between 40F and 95F (4.4C ± 35C).

IAT (Intake Air) is between 40F and 95F (4.4C ± 35C).

Cold Soak Procedure has been completed.
NOTE:
Before starting the engine, the difference between ECT (Coolant Temp) and IAT (Intake
Air) must be less than 13F (7C). (Refer to Examples 1 and 2 on previous page.)
Drive Pattern Procedure

Connect the OBDII Scantool to DLC3 to check monitor status and preconditions.

Release the pressure in the fuel tank by removing and then reinstalling the fuel tank
cap.

Start the engine and begin driving as directed.
NOTE:

Do not turn the ignition off until the drive pattern is complete.

Drive on smooth roads to reduce excessive fuel sloshing.
2a. Start the engine and as soon as safely possible begin driving at approximately 45
mph (72km/h) for 5 minutes. (See illustration on previous page.)
2b. Drive the vehicle at approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) for 15 minutes and include a
minimum of two stops for approximately 30 seconds. (See illustration on previous
page.)
The monitor should complete within approximately 20 minutes. If it does not, ensure
preconditions are met and repeat the drive pattern process beginning with the Cold Soak
Procedure.
NOTE:
The readiness status may not switch to ªcompleteº after the first drive pattern trip if a
Pending Code has been set (first trip for a two±trip DTC).

Pending Codes are available from the DTC Info Menu in Enhanced OBDII.

Pending Codes indicate a POTENTIAL problem was detected. A second trip is
needed to confirm the DTC prior to diagnosis.

Once a second trip is completed, a current DTC will be stored. Readiness

Air) must be less than 13F (7C). (Refer to Examples 1 and 2 on previous page.)
Drive Pattern Procedure

Connect the OBDII Scantool to DLC3 to check monitor status and preconditions.

Release the pressure in the fuel tank by removing and then reinstalling the fuel tank
cap.
2a. Start the engine and allow it to idle until ECT (Coolant Temp) is 167F (75C) or
greater. (See illustration on previous page.)
2b. Race the engine at 3,000 rpm for approximately 10 seconds. (See illustration on
previous page.)
2c. Allow the engine to idle with the A/C ON (to create a slight load) for 15 ± 50
minutes. (See illustration on previous page.)
NOTE:
If the vehicle is not equipped with A/C put a slight load on the engine by doing the
following:

Securely set the parking brake.

Block the drive wheels with wheel chocks.

Allow the vehicle to idle in drive for 15 ± 50 minutes.
NOTE:
The readiness status may not switch to ªcompleteº after the first drive pattern trip if a
Pending Code has been set (first trip for a two±trip DTC).

Pending Codes are available from the DTC Info Menu in Enhanced OBDII.

Pending Codes indicate a POTENTIAL problem was detected. A second trip is
needed to confirm the DTC prior to diagnosis.
