miles). See Chapter 7±2 for additional in-
formation.
Fluid leaks
Check underneath for leaking fuel, oil, wa-
ter or other fluid after the vehicle has
been parked for a while. If you smell fuel
fumes or notice any leak, have the cause
found and corrected immediately.

seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. op-
erate smoothly and that all latches lock
securely in any position. Check that the
head restraints move up and down
smoothly and that the locks hold securely
in any latched position. For folding±down
rear seatbacks, check that the latches
lock securely.
Seat belts
Check that the seat belt system such as
buckles, retractors and anchors operate
properly and smoothly. Make sure that the
belt webbings not cut, frayed, worn or
damaged.Accelerator pedal
Check the pedal for smooth operation and
uneven pedal effort or catching.
Clutch pedal
Check the pedal for smooth operation.
Brake pedal
Check the pedal for smooth operation and
that the pedal has the proper clearance.
Check the brake booster function.
Brakes
At a safe place, check that the brakes do
not pull to one side when applied.
Parking brake

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 1999 model year.
1. Model Line-Up
The following models have been added.
SXV20L-AEMDKK, SXV20L-AEPDKK
MCV20L-CEMNKA, MCV20L-AEPDKK
The following models have been discontinued.
SXV20L-CEMDKK, SXV20L-CEPDKK, SXV20L-CEMNKK, SXV20L-CEPNKK
MCV20L-CEMDKA, MCV20L-CEPDKK, MCV20L-CEPGKK
2. Engine
ORVR (On-board Refueling Vapor Recovery) system has been adopted on the 1MZ-FE engine models.
The basic construction and operation of this system are the same as in the '98 Camry with 5S-FE Engine.
The direction of the rotation of the radiator cooling fan of the 1MZ-FE engine models has been reversed.
A service port has been provided for inspecting the evaporative emission control system on all models.
For details, see the General 1999 Features section.
3. Axles
The rear axle bearing specifications have been partially changed.
4. Brakes
The brake specifications have been partially changed.
5. Body
The attachment method for the front bumper reinforcement has been changed.
The center pillar garnish extends into the vehicle's interior to provide its effectiveness in absorbing the
energy in case the occupant's head collides against the pillar.
A reinforcement has been added to the rocker panel to effectively dissipate the impact energy during a
frontal collision, thus minimizing the deformation of the cabin.
The front, center and rear pillar garnishes provide an impact-absorbing structure consisting of internal ribs
that dampen the impact.
6. Seat
A seat fabric has been changed on the CE grade models to improve the seat appearance.
7. Seat Belt
The shape of the tongue plate has been changed to help improve the usability of the seat belt.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION Ð OUTLINE OF NEW FEATURES3
OUTLINE OF NEW FEATURES
An engine that is based on the 5S-FE engine, yet uses natural gas, has been developed in order to reduce
exhaust emissions and the amount of CO
2 discharge. A model that uses this alternative fuel engine has been
added to the Camry lineup. The characteristics of the new model are listed below.
1. Exterior
A CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) mark is affixed to the luggage compartment door.
2. 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.
3. A140E Automatic Transaxle
The gear ratio of the differential has been changed to accommodate the performance of the 5S-FNE engine.
4. Brakes
Basically, the same brakes used on the 5S-FE engine model are used on the CNG model, except that the
size of the front brakes has been changed.
5. Suspension
To accommodate the weight increase of the rear section of the vehicle as a result of having the fuel tank
installed in the luggage compartment, the specification of the springs used in the rear suspension has been
changed to realize excellent riding comfort, stability, and controllability.
6. Tire
P205/65 R 15 tire is used.
7. Body

To install the fuel tank in the front area of the luggage compartment, the upper back panel has been
cut out.

A performance rod that joins the tops of the right and left rear suspension strut towers has been adopted.

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.
8. Seat
A fixed type seat back is used for the rear seat.
9. Seat Belt
2-point NR (Non-Retractor) seat belt is used for the rear center seat.
10. SRS Airbag
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.
