90BODYÐLIGHTWEIGHT AND HIGHLY RIGID BODY
 BODY SHELL
The body of the new Camry is made highly rigid through the optimization of the location of reinforcements, the
continuity in underbody members, and via excellent joint rigidity.
At each pillar, a continuous einforcement is provided from where the pillar meets the roof, all the way to the rocker,
thus resulting in a strong pillar construction. In addition, the areas where the pillar joins the roof side rail and the rocker
have been strengthened to realize excellent body rigidity.

93 BODYÐLIGHTWEIGHT AND HIGHLY RIGID BODY
Impact Absorbing Structure for Side Collision
Impact energy of a side collision directed to the cabin area is dispersed throughout the body via pillar reinforcements,
side impact protection beams, floor cross members, etc. This dispersion of energy keeps the energy directed to the
cabin to a minimum level. In additon, the body is made highly rigid through the cabin space. And, in order to make
the door more energy absorbent, a closed cross section configuration is provided at the belt line area of the front and
rear doors.
Also, a soft upper interior construction has been adopted. With this type of constrution, if the occupant's head collides
against the roof side rail in reaction to a collision, the inner panel of the roof side rail collapses to reduct the impact.

94BODYÐRUST±RESISTANT BODY
RUST±RESISTANT BODY
Rust±resistant performance is enhanced by extensive use of anti±corrosion sheet steel and is performing and
anti±corrosion treatment by applying wax, sealer and anti±chipping paint to easily corroded parts such as the hood,
doors and rocker panels.

ANTI±CORROSION SHEET STEEL
Galvannealed sheet steel is used in all areas other than the interior parts and the roof. However, on models produced
by TMC, zinc±iron alloy double layer galvannealed sheet steel is used for quarter panel.

96BODYÐLOW VIBRATION, LOW NOISE BODY
LOW VIBRATION, LOW NOISE BODY
Effective application of vibration damping and noide suppressant materials reduces engine and road noise.
 SOUND ABSORBING AND VIBRATION DAMPING MATERIALS
Sandwich panels are ussed in the dash panel, cowl panel, front floor panel and rear wheel housings.
Resin binding asphalt sheet and foamed asphalt sheet are optimally allocated to reduce engine and road noise for
quieter vehicle operation.
Foamed material is applied onto the roof panel and pillars to reduce wind noise.

97 BODYÐAERODYNAMICS
AERODYMANICS
To improve aerodynamic performance, the following measures have been taken.
1.A large rain gutter has been provided in the front pillar to ensure a smooth airflow from the front to the side.
2. The front edge of the hood and the area around the headlights offers a smooth shape with minimal level
differences for smooth airflow characteristics.
3.The under shape of the front bumper collcts the flow of air under the floor.
4. To ensure a smooth side airflow, the rear side corners have been provided with a sharper angle.
5.To ensure a smoooth airflow from the roof to the rear, the shape of the luggage compartment door has been
optimized.
6.The gody line from the roof to the luggage compartment allwos the air to flow smoothly from the top of the roof
to ther rear.

106BODY ELECTRICALÐACCESSORIES
SystemOutline
SRS Airbag
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbag is provided for the driver
and front passenger. The SRS airbag has been designed to lessen the shock to
the head and chest of the driver and front passenger in the event of a frontal
impact collision as a supplement to the seat belt.
A 1±sensor type airbag system is used in which the detection of decelera-
tion during a collision as well as control of the airbag system is accom-
plished by the airbag sensor assembly.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the '96 Avalon.
However, the inflator for front passsenger and airbag sensor assembly have
been changed.
For details, see page 111.
Cruise Control System
Once it has been set at a desired vehicle speed, this system automatically
adjusts the engine throttle position to maintain the vehicle speed at the de-
sired speed without operating the acceleration pedal.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the previous model.
However, in the new model, a new type acutator has been adopted. Also, the
functions of the cruise control ECU has been changed. For details, see page
116.
Moon Roof
The moon roof is a tilt±up and sliding type the same as in the previous mod-
el. This system includes ªkey±off operationº, which is the same as with the
power window system. The new model offers an additional ªone±touch slide
openº function which enables the moon roof to fully open when the slide
switch is pressed toward the opening side for a few seconds.
Electrical Remote Control Mirror
The electrical remote control mirrors used in the previous model are also
used in the new model. Also, the internal heater to remove water drops from
the mirror surface is provided.
Key Reminder System
When the driver's door is opened with the ignition key in the ACC or LOCK
position, this system sounds a buzzer to warn the driver that the ignition key
has not been removed.
The basic construction and operation are the same as in the previous model.

Before repairing the body, remove the SRS parts if, during repair, shocks are likely to be applied to
the sensors due to vibrations of the body or direct tapping with tools or other parts.

Do not expose the SRS parts directly to hot air or flames
NOTICE:
1) The maximum ambient temperature tolerance is 120
°C (248°F) for the front airbag sensor,
105
°C (221°F) for the center airbag sensor assembly and 93°C (200°F) for the steering wheel
pad, and front passenger airbag assembly. If it is possible that the ambient temperature may
reach or exceed the temperature limit, remove the sensors and the steering wheel pad from the
vehicle or protect them with a hot insulation material before staring work.
2) Prior to welding, remove adjacent, SRS parts form tire vehicle or protect them with fire±proof
covers.

If the vehicle is damaged, visually inspect for damage to the steering wheel pad using the inspection
procedures described in section RS of the repair manual for the relevant model year.

When removing or handling the steering wheel pad, and front passenger airbag assembly keep the
pad upper surface facing upward. Also, lock the lock lever of the twin lock type connector at the rear
of the pad and take care not to damage the connector.
(Storing the pad or front passenger airbag assembly with its metallic surface up may lead to a seri-
ous accident if the airbag inflates for some reason.)

Store the steering wheel pad and the front passenger airbag assembly where the ambient tempera-
ture remains below 93°C (200°F), without high humidity and away from electrical noise.

Be careful not to let painting materials contact the SRS parts.

Information labels are attached to the periphery of the SRS components. Follow the NOTICES.

Store the airbag assembly where the ambient temperature remains below 93°C (200°F), without
high humidity and away from electrical noise.
2. BRAKE SYSTEM
The brake system is one of the most important safety components. Always follow the directions and
notes given in section BR of the repair manual for the relevant model year when handling brake sys-
tem parts.
NOTICE: When repairing the brake master cylinder or TRAC system, bleed the air out of the TRAC
system.
3. DRIVE TRAIN AND CHASSIS
The drive train and chassis are components that can have great effects on the running performance
and vibration resistance of the vehicle. After installing components in the sections listed in the table
below, perform alignments to ensure correct mounting angles and dimensions. Particularly accurate
repair of the body must also be done to ensure correct alignment.
HINT: Correct procedures and special tools are required for alignment. Always follow the directions
given in the repair manual for the relevant model year during alignment and section DI of this manual.
