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 2001 model year.
1. 5S-FE Engine
The 5S-FE engine that are equipped on the '00 California specification models, which comply with the U-
LEV (Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle) requirements, have now been provided on the all models.
2. 1MZ-FE Engine
The 1MZ-FE engine that are equipped on the '00 California specification models, which comply with the
LEV (Low Emission Vehicle) requirements, have now been provided on the all models with the automatic
transaxle.
3. Brake
The size of front brake disc on 5S-FE engine model of CE grade has been changed from usual 255 mm (10.0
in.) for the 14-inch wheel to 275 mm (10.8 in.) for the 15-inch wheel.
4. Seat
A seat heater is established as an option to the driver seat and front passenger seat of the vehicle with leather
seats for Canada, thus improved the heating performance in the cold districts.
5. Internal Trunk Release Handle
An internal trunk release handle is included inside the trunk in case a person inadvertently locks oneself with-
in the trunk and needs to free oneself.
The handle is made of phosphorecent so that it is visible in the trunk for a while even after the trunk has been
closed.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
1. The repair procedure for plastic body parts must conform with the type of plastic material.
2. Plastic body parts are identified by the codes in the following chart.
3. When repairing metal body parts adjoining plastic body parts (by brazing, frame cutting, welding,
painting etc.), consideration must given to the property of the plastic.
*Temperatures higher than those listed here may result in material deformation during repair.

CAUTION
It is dangerous to continue driving
normally when the brake fluid level is
low.
If the brake fluid level is correct...
Have the warning system checked by your
Toyota dealer.
(b) Seat Belt Reminder Light and Buzz-
er
Once the ignition key is turned to ºONº or
ºSTARTº, the reminder light and buzzer
come on if the driver's seat belt is not
fastened. Unless the driver fastens the
belt, the light stays on and the buzzer
stops after about 4 to 8 seconds.
(c) Discharge Warning Light
This light warns that the battery is being
discharged.
If it comes on while you are driving, there
is a problem somewhere in the charging
system.
The engine ignition will continue to oper-
ate, however, until the battery is dis-
charged. Turn off the air conditioning,
blower, radio, etc., and drive directly to
the nearest Toyota dealer or repair shop.
NOTICE
Do not continue driving if the engine
drive belt is broken or loose.
(d) Malfunction Indicator Lamp
This lamp comes on in the following
cases.
a. The fuel tank is completely empty. (See
ºFuel gaugeº in Chapter 1±5 for instruc-
tions.)
b. The fuel tank cap is not tightened se-
curely. (See ºFuel tank capº in Chapter
1±2 for instructions.)
c. There is a problem somewhere in your
engine or automatic transmission electrical
system.
If it comes on while you are driving in
case c, have your vehicle checked/re-
paired by your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
(e) Low Fuel Level Warning Light
This light comes on when the fuel level
in the tank becomes nearly empty. Fill up
the tank as soon as possible.
On inclines or curves, due to the move-
ment of fuel in the tank, the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than
usual.(f) Low Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light warns that the engine oil pres-
sure is too low.
If it flickers or stays on while you are
driving, pull off the road to a safe place
and stop the engine immediately. Call a
Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop for
assistance.
The light may occasionally flicker when
the engine is idling or it may come on
briefly after a hard stop. There is no
cause for concern if it then goes out when
the engine is accelerated slightly.
The light may come on when the oil level
is extremely low. It is not designed to
indicate low oil level, and the oil level
must be checked using the level dipstick.
NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle with the
warning light onÐeven for one block.
It may ruin the engine.
