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.

MOULDING
A large rain gutter is incorporated in the windshield moulding to prevent the flow of the rain or washer fluid to the
side windows.
Also, this rain gutter helps control the airflow to the side window, the minimizing wind noise.

CRS (CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM)
The CRS is enclosed in the seatback for the right rear seat in order to provide a comfortable and safe restraint seating
for a child in the 22 to 60 lbs. (10.0 to 27.2 kg) range. When the CRS is not being used, it can be retracted to perform
the normal seating function of the rear seat.
The CRS uses a 5±point seat belt.

LIGHTING

DESCRIPTION
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.

101 BODY ELECTRICALÐAIR CONDITIONING
AIR CONDITIONING
 DESCRIPTION
1. General
The air conditioning system in the new Camry has the following features:
The rotary switch and lever type heater control panel is used.
As in the previous model, an air conditioning unit that incorporates a blower, heater and cooler unit, has been
adopted.
The duct size of the blower unit has been enlarged.
An aluminum heater core has been adopted on all models.
The defroster nozzle inner wall is modified into a radial configuration for smoother air flow.
A defroster±linked air conditioning start up control, which automatically engages the air conditioning when the
defroster mode has been selected, is provided.
The air conditioning amplifier which is integrated with the ECM has been adopted on the 5S±FE engine model.

 CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION
1. Heater Control Panel
As in the previous model, the rotary switch and lever type heater control panel has been adopted.
The new model uses a larger rotary switch to realize excellent control.
2. Air Conditioning Unit
As in the previous model, the air conditioning unit incorporates a blower, heater and cooler units. This provides high
rigidity and lower ventilating resistance.
Blower Unit
The duct size of the blower unit has been enlarged to reduce ventilating resistance.

3. Defroster Nozzle
The front defroster nozzle inner wall is modified into a radial configuration for a smoother air flow and improved
defroster performance.
4. Air Conditioning Amplifier
On the new Camry, the air conditioning amplifier that is provided on the 1MZ±FE engine model is an individual
amplifier unit type and on the 5S±FE engine model is a type that is integrated with the ECM.
The air conditioning amplifier controls the air conditioning system in accordance with the signals received from
sensors, switches, etc.
Function
Details
Magnetic Clutch Relay Control
When the blower switch and the air conditioning switch are turned on to-
gether, or when the air outlet mode is switched to defroster, the magnetic
clutch relay turns on and activates the compressor.
When one of the following conditions is met while the compressor is
turned on, the magnetic clutch relay is turned off and stops the compres-
sor:
i) The air temperature immediately after passing through the evaporator
is detected to be below 3C (37.4F) by the thermistor.
ii) The compressor speed detected by the lock sensor is compared with
the engine speed signal, and the compressor's slip rate exceeds a pre-
determined level (compressor locked).
iii) ªAir conditioner cutº was requested by the ECM to maintain engine
performance or idling speed.
Compressor Delay ControlWhen the air conditioning switch is turned on, the engagement of the mag-
netic clutch is delayed.
Air Conditioning Indicator Light
Control
When the blower switch and the air conditioning switch are turned on to-
gether, or when the air outlet mode is switched to defroster, and the com-
pressor is activated, the indicator lamp of the air conditioning switch is
turned on.
If compressure lock occurs during compressor operation, the indicator
lamp flashes every 1 second.

105 BODY ELECTRICALÐACCESSORIES
ACCESSORIES

DESCRIPTION
The new Camry includes the accessory systems shown in the below.
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.
