INTERIOR
 WIRELESS DOOR LOCK REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
A wireless door lock remote control system is available as an option on the LE grade model and is standard
equipment on the XLE grade model. With the wireless door lock remote control system, all the doors can be locked
and unlocked by signals emitted by the transmitter.
A 2±step unlock function is provided. When the unlock switch of the transmitter is pressed once, only the driver's
door is unlocked. When it is pressed twice, all the doors are unlocked.
A panic switch is provided in the transmitter to force the theft system by operating the horn, headlight and taillight.
A wireless door lock ECU with EEPROM (Electrical Erasable Programmable ROM) is used so that the transmitter
recognition code can be easily reprogrammed.
 THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM
A theft deterrent system is used to prevent vehicle theft. When the system is set, the horn and headlights operate
if the door, hood or trunk is forcibly opened.
The audio system also has an anti±theft system whereby the radio and cassette deck is disabled if the radio body
is stolen from the vehicle.

The new Camry has the following features:
Item
Outline
Daytime Running Light System
This system is designed to automatically activate the headlights during the
daytime to keep the car highly visible to other vehicles.
As in the previous model, the headlights are activated by reducing the nor-
mal high beam brightness.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the previous model.
Light Auto Turn±Off System
When the ignition key is turned from the ON or ACC to LOCK position and
the driver's door is opened with the taillights and headlights turned on, this
system automatically turns them off.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the previous model.
Light Auto Turn±Off System
This system is useful when entering the vehicle and inserting the ignition key
into the cylinder in the dark.
2 types of this system are used in the new Camry.
In the first type, when the doors are opened, this system turns on the illu-
minations around ignition key cylinder and dome light (only when the con-
trol switch is set to the DOOR position) simultaneously. These lights fade
out in about 15 seconds. However, under certain conditions such as when all
doors are locked, the lights will turn off immediately even if the system is
operating.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the '97 Avalon.
In the second type, when the door is opened, this system turns on the illu-
minations around the ignition key cylinder. This illumination remains on for
about 5 seconds after the door is closed.

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.

 WIRELESS DOOR LOCK REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
1. General
The wireless door lock remote control system is a conventint system for locking and unlocking all the doors at a
distance.
The basic construction and operation of this system are the same as in the '96 Avalon. However, the following items
have been changed.
The trunk lid open operation, which is provided on the '96 Avalon, has not been adopted.
A panic alarm operation, which activates the alarm of the theft±deterrent system, has been newly adopted.
For ease of verification of the operation of this system, the parking lights and taillights flash to inform that the
operation has been completed.

Panic Alarm Operation
When the ªpanicº switch of the transmitter is pushed, the theft deterrent system sounds the horns and flaashes the
headlights and taillights. To stop the alarm of the theft deterrent system that was triggered through this operation, push
the transmitter's ªunlockº switch or ªpanicº switch again.
Operation Verification Light Function
When the doors are locked by the transmitter switch
operation, the parking light and taillight flashes
once to confirm that the operation has been
completed.
Similarly, the parking light and taillight flashes
twice when the doors are unlocked.
Light Flash Patterns
Transmitter Recognition code Registration Function
As in the '96 Avalon, the recognition code for each transmitter is registered in an EEPROM contained in the wieless
door lock ECU. Up to 2 different recognition codes can be resistered in teh EEPROM. The procedure for registering
a registration code is the same as that used in the '96 Avalon.
For details of the rrecogition code registration procedure, refer to the 1997 Camry Repair Manual (Pub. No.
RM503U).

this time, parking lights, side marker lights
and tail lights flash twice.You have 30 seconds to open a door after
using the wireless remote unlock feature.
If a door is not opened by then, all the
doors will be automatically locked again.
If the ºLOCKº or ºUNLOCKº switch is kept
pressed in, the locking or unlocking opera-
tion is not repeated. Release the button
and then push again.
