OUTLINE OF NEW FEATURES
The CAMRY is a high-quality family sedan with advanced technology and sporty performance. The following
changes are made for the 2000 model year.
1. Model Line-Up
The 5S-FNE CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) engine model has been added.
2. Exterior
Four new exterior colors have been added, for a total of 10 colors.
The design of the front and rear bumpers has been changed.
The bumper and the radiator grille have been made separate, and the radiator grille is chrome-plated.
The side protection molding has been increased in size. On the XLE grade model, chrome stripes have been
adopted for the side protection molding.

The styling of the 15º full wheel cover has been changed.
3. Interior
Wood-grain panels have been adopted in the interior of the XLE grade model.
CRS tether anchor brackets have been provided on the package tray trim. (except 5S-FNE engine Model)
A clock with an outside temperature gauge has been provided on the models with manual air conditioning.
4. 5S-FE Engine
The intake system from the inlet duct to the throttle body has been improved to increase torque and reduce
noise.
The direction of the rotation of the radiator cooling fan has been reversed.
A 2-way exhaust control system has been adopted on the TMMK made model.
Along with the discontinuance of the air assist system, the fuel injectors and the IAC valve have been
changed for the California specification model, in order to meet ULEV (Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle) re-
quirement.
The system for detecting evaporative emission leaks has been changed. For details, see the General 2000
Features section.
5. 5S-FNE Engine
Based on the 5S-FE gasoline engine, the 5S-FNE engine uses compressed natural gas. The fuel lines have
been designed exclusively for compressed natural gas application.
6. 1MZ-FE Engine
The system for detecting evaporative emission leaks has been changed. For details, see the General 2000
Features section.
A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been added for indicating a thermostat malfunction.
7. Automatic Transaxle
The overdrive switch has been changed to the momentary type. For details, see the General 2000 Features
section.
The differential gear ratio of the A140E automatic transaxle has been changed for the 5S-FNE engine mod-
el to accommodate the performance of the 5S-FNE engine.

ENGINE OIL INSPECTION
1. CHECK OIL QUALITY
Check the oil for deterioration, entry of water, dis±
coloring or thinning.
If oil quality is visibly poor, replace it.
Oil grade:
API grade SG or SH, Energy Conserving II multi±
grade engine oil or ILSAC multigrade engine oil.
Recommended viscosity is as shown in the illustra±
tion.
TUNE±UP
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.
