(OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Keys (with key cylinder−type ignition switch) Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of keys. 1. Master keys (black)— These keys work in every lock. Your Toyota dealer will need one of them to make a new key with a built−in transponder chip. Since the doors and trunk lid can be locked without a key, you should always carry a spare master key in case you accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle. Type A A transponder chip for engine immobilizer system has been placed in the head of the master and sub keys. These chips are needed to enable the system to function correctly, so be careful not to lose these keys. If you make your own duplicate key, you will not be able to cancel the system or start the engine. Type B only—This key is fitted with the wireless remote control transmitter. For information on use of the wireless remote control transmitter, see “Wireless remote control” on page 20 in this Section. 2. Sub key (gray)— This key will not work in the glove box, trunk and the door located behind the rear seat armrest (on some models). To protect items locked in the trunk or glove box when using valet parking, leave the sub key with the attendant. Type B 14 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) NOTICE When using a key containing a transponder chip, observe the following precautions: z When starting the engine, do not use the key with a key ring resting on the key grip and do not press the key ring against the key grip. Otherwise the engine may not start, or may stop soon after it starts. z When starting the engine, do not use the key with other transponder keys around (including keys of other vehicles) and do not press other key plates against the key grip. Otherwise the engine may not start, or may stop soon after it starts.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) advises: Since the risk zone for driver airbag is the first 50—75 mm (2—3 in.) of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.) from your driver airbag provides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can change your driving position in several ways: D Move your seat to the rear as far seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10 in.) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm, non−slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature. D If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the airbag toward your chest instead of your head and neck. The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, while still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument panel controls. as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably. 56 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

The front passenger seat should be as far from the airbag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright. The SRS side airbags are installed in the driver and front passenger seats. Observe the following precautions. D Do not lean against the front door when the vehicle is in use, since the side airbag inflates with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, you may be killed or seriously injured. D Do not use seat accessories which cover the area where the side airbags inflate. Such accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, causing death or serious injury. D Do not modify or replace the seats or upholstery of the seats equipped with side airbags. Such change may prevent the side airbag system from activating correctly, disable the system, or cause the side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury. CAUTION D Do not adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving as the seat may unexpectedly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

Failure to do so could increase the chance of injury and/or the severity of injury in accidents. CAUTION D Adjust the center of the head re- straint so that it is closest to the top of your ears. D After adjusting the head restraint, The seat belts provided for your vehicle are designed for people of adult size, large enough to properly wear them. make sure it is locked in position. D Do not drive with the head restraints removed. To use the armrest, shown above. pull it out as Child. Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belts. See “Child restraint” on page 95 in this Section for details. If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s seat belt. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. If a child must sit in the front seat, the seat belts should be worn properly. If an accident occurs and the seat belts are not worn properly, the force of the rapid inflation of the airbag may cause death or serious injury to the child. 65 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Do not allow any children to stand up or kneel on either rear or front seats. An unrestrained child could suffer serious injury or death during emergency braking or a collision. Also, do not let the child sit on your lap. Holding a child in your arms does not provide sufficient restraint. Pregnant woman. Toyota recommends the use of a seat belt. Ask your doctor for specific recommendations. The lap belt should be worn securely and as low as possible over the hips and not on the waist. Injured person. Toyota recommends the use of a seat belt. Depending on the injury, first check with your doctor for specific recommendations. CAUTION Persons should ride in their seats properly wearing their seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer serious bodily injury or death in the event of sudden braking or a collision. When using the seat belts, observe the following: D Use the belt for only one person at a time. Do not use a single belt for two or more people—even children. D Avoid reclining the seatback any more than needed. The seat belts provide maximum protection in a frontal or rear collision when the driver and the front passenger are sitting up straight and well back in the seats. If you are reclined, the lap belt may slide past your hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may contact the shoulder belt. In the event of a frontal collision, the more the seat is reclined, the greater the risk of death or personal injury. D Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. Take care that they do not get caught or pinched in the seat or doors. D Inspect the belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Damaged parts should be replaced. Do not disassemble or modify the system. D Keep the belts clean and dry. If they need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water. Never use bleach, dye, or abrasive cleaners, or allow them to come into contact with the belts—they may severely weaken the belts. (See “Cleaning the interior” on page 361 in Section 5.) D Replace the belt assembly (includ- ing bolts) if it has been used in a severe impact. The entire assembly should be replaced even if damage is not obvious. 66 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

(OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) —Seat belt extender If your seat belts cannot be fastened securely because they are not long enough, a personalized seat belt extender is available from your Toyota dealer free of charge. D Make Please contact your local Toyota dealer to order the proper required length for the extender. Bring the heaviest coat you expect to wear for proper measurement and selection of length. Additional ordering information is available at your Toyota dealer. CAUTION When using the seat belt extender, observe the following precautions. Failure to follow these instructions could reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt restraint system in case of an accident, increasing the chance of death or serious injury. D Remember that the extender pro- vided for you may not be safe when used on a different vehicle, for another person, or at a different seating position than the one originally intended. D If the seat belt extender has been connected to the driver’s seat belt buckle without wearing the seat belt when using the extender in the driver’s seat, the SRS driver’s airbag system will judge that the driver wears the seat belt even if not wearing it. In this case, the driver’s airbag may not activate correctly, causing death or serious injury in the event of collision. Be sure to wear the seat belt with the seat belt extender. sure the “AIRBAG ON” indicator light is illuminated when using the seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated, disconnect the extender tongue from the seat belt buckle, then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender after making sure the “AIRBAG ON” indicator light is illuminated. If you use the seat belt extender while the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated, the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the front passenger side may not activate correctly, causing death or serious injury in the event of collision. D Be sure to wear the seat belt with- out the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without the extender. 72 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) As far as the seat belt extender on the front passenger side is concerned, do not fail to disconnect the extender from the seat belt after the above operation in order to activate the front passenger airbag correctly when getting into the vehicle next time. D Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system on the front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint system with the seat belt extender connected to the seat belt, the seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of collision. When not in use, remove the extender and store in the vehicle for future use. CAUTION D After inserting the tab, make sure To connect the extender to the seat belt, insert the tab into the seat belt buckle so that the “PRESS” signs on the buckle release buttons of the extender and the seat belt are both facing outward as shown. You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle. When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle release button on the extender, not on the seat belt. This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and extender itself. the tab and buckle are locked and that the lap and shoulder portions of the belt and the seat belt extender are not twisted. D Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle. D If the seat belt does not function normally, immediately contact your Toyota dealer. Do not use the seat until the seat belt is fixed, because it cannot protect an adult occupant or your child from death or serious injury. 73 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) —Seat belt pretensioners The front passenger’s seat belt pretensioner will not activate if no passenger is detected in the front passenger seat by the front passenger occupant classification system. However, the front passenger’s seat belt pretensioner may activate if luggage is put on the seat, or the seat belt is buckled up regardless of the presence of an occupant in the seat. (As for the front passenger occupant classification system, see “—Front passenger occupant classification system” on page 91 in this Section.) The driver and front passenger seat belt pretensioners are designed to be activated in response to a severe frontal impact. When the sensor detects a severe frontal impact, the front seat belts are quickly drawn back by the retractors so that the belts snugly restrain the occupants. The seat belt pretensioners and SRS airbags may not operate together in all collisions. The seat belt pretensioner system consists mainly of the following components and their locations are shown in the illustration. 1. Front airbag sensors 2. SRS warning light 3. “AIRBAG ON” and “AIRBAG OFF” indicator lights (for front passenger airbag and side airbag on the front passenger seat) 4. Front passenger occupant classification system (ECU and sensors) 5. Seat belt pretensioner assemblies 6. Front passenger’s switch seat belt buckle 74 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) 7. Airbag sensor assembly The seat belt pretensioners are controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and airbag sensor. When the seat belt pretensioners are activated, an operating noise may be heard and a small amount of non−toxic gas may be released. This does not indicate that a fire is occurring. This gas is normally harmless. Once the seat belt pretensioners have been activated, the seat belt retractors remain locked. CAUTION Do not modify, remove, strike or open the seat belt pretensioner assemblies, airbag sensor or surrounding area or wiring. Failure to follow these instructions may prevent the seat belt pretensioners from activating correctly, cause sudden operation of the system or disable the system, which could result in death or serious injury. Consult your Toyota dealer about any repair and modification. NOTICE Do not perform any of the following changes without consulting your Toyota dealer. Such changes can interfere with proper operation of the seat belt pretensioners in some cases. z Installation of electronic devices such as a mobile two−way radio, cassette tape player or compact disc player z Repairs on or near the front seat belt retractor assemblies z Modification of the suspension system z Modification of the front end structure This indicator comes on when the ignition switch is set at ON.

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) front airbags are designed to provide further protection for the driver and front passenger in addition to the primary safety protection provided by the seat belts. Your vehicle is equipped with “ADVANCED AIRBAGS” designed based on US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag system controls airbag deployment power for the driver and front passenger. The driver airbag system consists of the driver seat’s position sensor etc. The front passenger’s airbag system consists of the front passenger occupant classification sensor etc. 76 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) In response to a severe frontal impact, the SRS front airbags work with the seat belts to help reduce injury by inflating. The SRS front airbags help reduce injuries mainly to the driver’s or front passenger’s head, chest or knee caused by hitting the vehicle interior. The SRS front passenger airbag will not activate if there is no passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the front passenger airbag may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, or the seat belt is buckled up, regardless of the presence of an occupant in the seat. (As for the front passenger occupant classification system, see “—Front passenger occupant classification system” on page 91 in this Section.) Always wear your seat belt properly. CAUTION D The SRS front airbag system is de- signed only as a supplement to the primary protection of the driver and front passenger seat belt systems. The driver and front passenger can be killed or seriously injured by the inflating airbags if they do not wear the available seat belts properly. During sudden braking just before a collision, an unrestrained driver or front passenger can move forward into direct contact with or close proximity to the airbag which may then deploy during the collision. To ensure maximum protection in an accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. Wearing a seat belt properly during an accident reduces the chances of death or serious injury or being thrown out of the vehicle. For instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt system, see “Seat belts” on page 65 in this Section. D Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by the deploying airbags. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seat of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seat is the safest for infants and children. For instructions concerning the installation of a child restraint system, see “Child restraint” on page 95 in this Section. 77 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) The SRS front airbags are designed to deploy in severe (usually frontal) collisions where the magnitude and duration of the forward deceleration of the vehicle exceeds the designed threshold level. The SRS front airbags will deploy if the severity of the impact is above the designed threshold level, comparable to an approximate 25 km/h (15 mph) collision when the vehicle has the impact straight into a fixed barrier that does not move or deform. However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on impact, or if the vehicle is involved in an underride collision (e.g. a collision in which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck, etc.). It is possible that in some collisions where the forward deceleration of the vehicle is very close to the designed threshold level, the SRS front airbags and the seat belt pretensioners may not activate together. Collision from the rear Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard surface Falling into or jumping over a deep hole Collision from the side Vehicle rollover The SRS front airbags are not generally designed to inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low− speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur. Landing hard or vehicle falling The SRS front airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration. Always wear your seat belts properly. 78 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) The SRS front airbag system consists mainly of the following components, and their locations are shown in the illustration. 1. Front airbag sensors 2. “AIRBAG ON” and “AIRBAG OFF” indicator lights (for front passenger airbag and side airbag on the front passenger seat) 3. Airbag module for front passenger (airbag and inflator) With manual driver’s seat 4. Front passenger occupant classification system (ECU and sensors) 5. Front passenger’s switch seat belt buckle 6. Driver’s seat belt buckle switch 7. Driver’s seat position sensor 8. Airbag sensor assembly 9. Knee airbag module for driver (airbag and inflator) 10. Airbag module for driver (airbag and inflator) The front airbag sensors constantly monitor the forward deceleration of the vehicle. If an impact results in a forward deceleration beyond the designed threshold level, the system triggers the airbag inflators. At this time a chemical reaction in the inflators very quickly fills the airbags with non−toxic gas to help restrain the forward motion of the occupants. The front airbags then quickly deflate, so that there is no obstruction of the driver’s vision should it be necessary to continue driving. When the airbags inflate, they produce a loud noise and release some smoke and residue along with non−toxic gas. This does not indicate a fire. This smoke may remain inside the vehicle for some time, and may cause some minor irritation to the eyes, skin or breathing. Be sure to wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent any potential skin irritation with soap and water. If you can safely exit from the vehicle, you should do so immediately. 11. SRS warning light The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and airbag sensor. With power driver’s seat 79 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Deployment of the airbags happens in a fraction of a second, so the airbags must inflate with considerable force. While the system is designed to reduce serious injuries, primarily to the head and chest, it may also cause other, less severe injuries to the face, chest, arms and hands. These are usually in the nature of minor burns or abrasions and swelling, but the force of a deploying airbag can cause more serious injuries, especially if an occupant’s hands, arms, chest or head is in close proximity to the airbag module at the time of deployment. This is why it is important for the occupant to; avoid placing any object or part of the body between the occupant and the airbag module; sit straight and well back into the seat; wear the available seat belt properly; and sit as far as possible from the airbag module, while still maintaining control of the vehicle. Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, lower portion of driver’s side instrument panel, airbag cover and inflator) may be hot for several minutes after deployment, so do not touch! The airbags inflate only once. The windshield may be damaged by absorbing some of the force of the inflating airbag. CAUTION The driver or front passenger who is too close to the steering wheel, lower portion of driver’s side instrument panel or dashboard during airbag deployment can be killed or seriously injured. Toyota strongly recommends that: D The driver sit as far back as pos- sible from the steering wheel while still maintaining control of the vehicle. D The front passenger sit as far back as possible from the dashboard. D All vehicle occupants be properly restrained using the available seat belts. For instructions and precautions concerning the seating position, see “—Front seat precautions” on page 56 in this Section. D Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean against the dashboard when the vehicle is in use, since the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force. Anyone who is up against, or very close to, an airbag when it inflates, can be killed or seriously injured. Sit up straight and well back in the seat, and always use your seat belt properly. 80 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

D Do not hold a child on your lap or in your arms. Use a child restraint system in the rear seat. For instructions concerning the installation of a child restraint system, see “Child restraint” on page 95 in this Section. D Do not put anything or any part of your body on or in front of the dashboard, lower portion of driver’s side instrument panel or steering wheel pad that houses the front airbag system. They might restrict inflation or cause death or serious injury as they are projected rearward by the force of the deploying airbags. Likewise, the driver and front passenger should not hold objects in their arms or on their knees. D Vehicles with key cylinder−type igni- tion switch—Do not attach any heavy, sharp or hard objects such as keys or accessories to the ignition switch. The objects may restrict the SRS knee airbag inflation or be thrust into the driver’s seat area by the force of the deploying airbag, thus causing a danger. 81 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

To ensure maximum protection in an accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. Wearing a seat belt properly during an accident reduces the chances of death or serious injury or being thrown out of the vehicle. For instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt system, see “Seat belts” on page 65 in this Section. The SRS curtain shield airbag on the passenger side are activated even with no passenger in the front seat or rear outside seat. The SRS curtain shield airbags may activate even when the side airbags are not activated. Always wear your seat belt properly. 84 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) D Do not allow anyone to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the seat, front pillar, rear pillar or roof side rail from which the SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag deploy even if he/she is a child seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag inflate, and the impact of the deploying airbag could cause death or serious injury to the occupant. D Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by the deploying airbags. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are the safest for infants and children. For instructions concerning the installation of a child restraint system, see “Child restraint” on page 95 in this Section. The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag system may not activate if the vehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a collision to the side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment as shown in the illustration. The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags are designed to inflate when the passenger compartment area suffers a severe impact from the side. Always wear your seat belts properly. 85 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) 7. Side and curtain shield airbag sensors 8.

Curtain shield airbag sensors In a severe side impact, the side and curtain shield airbag sensor and/or the curtain shield airbag sensor trigger(s) the side airbag inflators and/or the curtain shield airbag inflators. At this time a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non−toxic gas to help restrain the lateral motion of the occupants. When the airbags inflate, they produce a fairly loud noise and release some smoke and residue along with non−toxic gas. This does not indicate a fire. This smoke may remain inside the vehicle for some time, and may cause some minor irritation to the eyes, skin or breathing. Be sure to wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent any potential skin irritation with soap and water. If you can safely exit from the vehicle, you should do so immediately. 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Deployment of the airbags happens in a fraction of a second, so the airbags must inflate with considerable force. While the system is designed to reduce serious injuries, it may also cause minor burns or abrasions and swelling. Front seats as well as parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side rail may be hot for several minutes, but the airbags themselves will not be hot. The airbags are designed to inflate only once. CAUTION SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags inflate with considerable force.

D The front passenger seatback is in contact with the rear seat. To ensure the system correctly detects an adult sitting in the front passenger seat, make sure the above do not occur. The “AIRBAG ON” and “AIRBAG OFF” indicator lights indicate the actuation of the front passenger airbag, side airbag on the front passenger seat and front passenger’s seat belt pretensioner. The “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light will be illuminated when the ignition switch is set at ON with the condition 2 in the table shown below. If the front passenger occupant classification system determines that a person of adult size sits in the front passenger seat but the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated, one of the following is likely to have occurred: Make sure that the “AIRBAG ON” indicator light is illuminated when an adult is seated in the front passenger seat. If the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated, ask the passenger to sit up straight, well back in the seat, and with the seat belt worn correctly. If the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light still remains illuminated, either ask the passenger to move to the rear seat, or if that is not possible, move the front passenger seat fully rearward. The SRS warning and “AIRBAG OFF” indicator lights will come on if there is a malfunction in the front passenger occupant classification system. The “AIRBAG ON” and “AIRBAG OFF” indicator lights will be illuminated initially when the ignition switch is set at ON. After about four seconds, they will go off.

D Do not recline the front passenger seat seatback so that it interferes with a rear seat as it may cause the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light be illuminated. If the seatback interferes with the rear seat, return the seatback to a position where it does not interfere with the rear seat. Keep the front passenger seatback as upright as possible when the vehicle is moving. Reclining the seatback excessively may lessen the effectiveness of the seat belt system. D Make sure the “AIRBAG ON” indicator light is illuminated when using the seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated, disconnect the extender tongue from the seat belt buckle, then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender after making sure the “AIRBAG ON” indicator light is illuminated. If you use the seat belt extender while the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated, the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the front passenger side may not activate correctly, which could cause death or serious injury in the event of collision. D If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the “AIRBAG ON” indicator light should be illuminated. If the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated, ask the passenger to sit up straight, well back in the seat, feet on the floor, and with the seat belt worn correctly. If the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light still remains illuminated, either ask the passenger to move to the rear seat, or if that is not possible, move the front passenger seat fully rearward. D Wear the seat belt properly. D Make sure the front passenger’s seat belt tab has not been left inserted into the buckle before someone sits in the front passenger seat. D Do not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat or equipment (e.g. seatback pocket). 94 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

D Do not let a rear passenger lift the front passenger seat with their feet or press on the seatback with their legs. D Do not put objects under the front passenger seat. D Child restraint systems installed on the rear seat should not contact the front seatbacks. D When it is unavoidable to install the forward−facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front passenger seat in the proper order. (As for the installation order, see “—Child restraint system” on page 97 in this Section.) D Do not remove the seat. D Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Otherwise, the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction of the detection system. In this case, contact your Toyota dealer immediately. The “AIRBAG ON” indicator light may be illuminated (the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the front passenger seat may deploy) even if observing the above cautions, when a child sits in, or a forward−facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat. Refer to all the cautions in “SRS airbags” on page 76 and “Child restraint” on page 95 in this Section. Toyota strongly urges the use of appropriate child restraint systems for children. The laws of all 50 states in the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of a child restraint system. Your vehicle conforms to SAEJ1819. If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s seat belt. See “Seat belts” on page 65 in this Section for details. CAUTION D For effective protection in automo- bile accidents and sudden stops, a child must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system depending on age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior. 95 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) D Toyota strongly urges use of a proper child restraint system which conforms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. D Never install a rear−facing child re- straint system on the front passenger seat even if the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child if the rear−facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat. D A forward−facing child restraint sys- tem should be allowed to be installed on the front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable. Always move the seat as far back as possible even if the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated, because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured. D On vehicles with side airbags and curtain shield airbags, do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the seat, front or rear pillar or roof side rail from which the side airbags or curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the side airbags and/or curtain shield airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child. D Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system on the front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint system with the seat belt extender connected to the seat belt, the seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of collision. D Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or accident. 96 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

You must push in the key to turn the key from “ACC” to the “LOCK” position. On vehicles with an automatic transmission, the selector lever must be put in the “P” position before pushing the key. Once you remove the key, the engine immobilizer system is automatically set. (See “Engine immobilizer system” on page 18 in Section 1−2.) “START”—Starter motor on. The key will return to the “ON” position when released. For starting tips, see page 315 in Section 3. “ON”—Engine on and all accessories on. This is the normal driving position. “ACC”—Accessories such as the radio operate, but the engine is off. If you leave the key in the “ACC” or “LOCK” position and open the driver’s door, a buzzer will remind you to remove the key. When starting the engine, the key may seem stuck at the “LOCK” position. To free it, first be sure the key is pushed all the way in, and then rotate the steering wheel slightly while turning the key gently. CAUTION For manual transmission: Never remove the key when the vehicle is moving, as this will lock the steering wheel and result in loss of steering control. NOTICE Do not leave the key in the “ON” position if the engine is not running. The battery will discharge and the ignition could be damaged. Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear sound coming from underneath the luggage compartment for several minutes. This is normal operation and does not indicate a malfunction. (See “Leak detection pump” on page viii.) It is not a malfunction if the needle on all meters and gauges move slightly when the key is turned to the “ACC”, “ON” or “START” position. 158 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

When the lever is in the “D” position, the automatic transmission system will select the most suitable gear for running conditions such as normal cruising, hill climbing, hard towing, etc. Always use the “D” position for better fuel economy and quieter driving. In this position, shifting into the overdrive gear is possible. If the engine coolant temperature is low, the transmission will not shift into the overdrive gear even in the “D” position. CAUTION Never put your foot on the accelerator pedal while shifting. AI (Artificial Intelligence) shifting control— AI shifting control selects the most suitable shift range automatically according to the driver’s operation and driving condition. AI shifting control operates automatically with the selector lever in the “D” position. When the lever is moved to the “S” position, this function will be cancelled. (c) Driving in “S” mode You can change the shift range position in the “S” mode. The shift range position can be switched between “6” (sixth range) and “1” (first range) by moving the selector lever up to the “+” side or down to the “–” side. When the selector lever is shifted to the “S” position, the initial shift range position is “4” (fourth range) or “5” (fifth range) depending on the vehicle speed. D Shifting control on the slope: However, if the selector lever is shifted to the “S” position when AI shifting control is being performed, the initial shift range position may be “3” (third range).

(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label (tire and load information label), you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS– tire pressure warning system) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale (low tire pressure warning light) when one or more of your tires is significantly under−inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale (low tire pressure warning light) illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under−inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under− inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. NOTICE z Do not use liquid sealants for a flat tire as tire pressure warning valve and transmitter will be damaged. z When the tires must be repaired or replaced, have them repaired or replaced by the nearest Toyota dealer or authorized tire dealer. The tire pressure warning valves and transmitters will be affected by the installation or removal of tires. Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under−inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (low tire pressure warning light). 176 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

If the vehicle speed is too fast in relation to the cruise control set speed, cancel the cruise control then downshift the transmission to use engine braking to slow down. TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF To turn the cruise control on, press the “ON−OFF” button. The cruise control indicator light on the instrument panel will come on to indicate that the cruise control is operational. Pressing the “ON−OFF” button again turns the system off. When the system is turned off, cruising speed must be reset when the cruise control is turned on again. Before driving, be sure the parking brake is fully released and the parking brake reminder light is off. 181 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) If you need acceleration—for example, when passing—depress the accelerator pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed the set speed. When you release it, the vehicle will return to the speed set prior to the acceleration. CAUTION To avoid accidentally engaging the cruise control, turn the system off when it is not in use. Make sure the cruise control indicator light is off. CAUTION SETTING THE CRUISING SPEED For manual transmission: While driving with the cruise control on, do not shift to neutral without depressing the clutch pedal, as this may cause engine racing or overrevving. Automatic transmission models—The transmission must be in “D” or “4” position (2.4 L 4−cylinder [2AZ−FE] engine), or “D” position or between “4” (fourth range) and “6” (sixth range) in “S” position (3.5 L V6 [2GR−FE] engine) before you set the cruising speed. Bring your vehicle to the desired speed, push the lever down in the “− SET” direction and release it. This sets the vehicle at that speed. If the speed is not satisfactory, tap the lever up for a faster speed, or tap it down for a slower speed. Each tap changes the set speed by 1.6 km/h (1.0 mph). You can now take your foot off the accelerator pedal. 182 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) CANCELLING THE CRUISE CONTROL The cruise control may be temporarily cancelled by the driver or by the system itself under certain circumstances. Temporary cancellation allows the set cruising speed to remain in memory. The cruise control can be temporarily cancelled by doing the following: D Pulling the lever in the “CANCEL” direction and releasing it D Depressing the brake pedal D Depressing the clutch pedal (manual transmission) Under certain circumstances, the cruise control is temporarily cancelled: D When vehicle speed falls below 40 km/h (25 mph) D When vehicle stability control is activated When vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10 mph) below the set speed, the cruise control is cancelled and the set speed is erased from memory. To turn the cruise control off, press the “ON−OFF” button. Make sure the cruise control indicator light is off. If the cruise control automatically cancels out other than for the above cases, have your vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer at the earliest opportunity. RESUMING THE CRUISE CONTROL If the cruise control is temporarily cancelled, the cruising speed can be resumed by pushing the lever up in the “+ RES” direction. Vehicle speed must be above 40 km/h (25 mph). RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED Push the lever up in the “+ RES” direction and hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained.

NOTICE To ensure correct audio system operations: z Be careful not to spill beverages over the audio system. z Do not put anything other than a compact disc into the slot. z The use of a cellular phone inside or near the vehicle may cause a noise from the speakers of the audio system which you are listening to. However, this does not indicate a malfunction. RADIO RECEPTION Usually, a problem with radio reception does not mean there is a problem with your radio—it is just the normal result of conditions outside the vehicle. For example, nearby buildings and terrain can interfere with FM reception. Power lines or telephone wires can interfere with AM signals. And of course, radio signals have a limited range. The farther you are from a station, the weaker its signal will be. In addition, reception conditions change constantly as your vehicle moves. Here are some common reception problems that probably do not indicate a problem with your radio: FM Fading and drifting stations—Generally, the effective range of FM is about 40 km (25 miles). Once outside this range, you may notice fading and drifting, which increase with the distance from the radio transmitter. They are often accompanied by distortion. Multi−path—FM signals are reflective, making it possible for two signals to reach your antenna at the same time. If this happens, the signals will cancel each other out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of reception. Static and fluttering—These occur when signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or other large objects. Increasing the bass level may reduce static and fluttering. Station swapping—If the FM signal you are listening to is interrupted or weakened, and there is another strong station nearby on the FM band, your radio may tune in the second station until the original signal can be picked up again. 208 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) AM Fading—AM broadcasts are reflected by the upper atmosphere—especially at night. These reflected signals can interfere with those received directly from the radio station, causing the radio station to sound alternately strong and weak. Station interference—When a reflected signal and a signal received directly from a radio station are very nearly the same frequency, they can interfere with each other, making it difficult to hear the broadcast. Static—AM is easily affected by external sources of electrical noise, such as high tension power lines, lightening, or electrical motors. This results in static.

D Recordings on CD−R/CD−RW cannot be played using the DDCD (Double Density CD) system. TERMS ISO 9660 format— Packet write— This is the international standard for the formatting of CD−ROM folders and files. For the ISO 9660 format, there are two levels of regulations. This is a general term that describes the process of writing data on−demand to CD−R, etc., in the same way that data is written to floppy or hard discs. ID3 Tag— This is a method of embedding track−related information in an MP3 file. This embedded information can include the track title, the artist’s name, the album title, the music genre, the year of production, comments and other data. The contents can be freely edited using software with ID3 tag editing functions. Although the tags are restricted to the number of characters, the information can be viewed when the track is played back. WMA Tag— WMA files can contain a WMA tag that is used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA tags carry information such as track title, artist name. Level 1: The file name is in 8.3 format (8 character file names, with a 3 character file extension. File names must be composed of one−byte capital letters and numbers. The “_” symbol may also be included.) Level 2: The file name can have up to 31 characters (including the separation mark “.” and file extension). Each folder must contain fewer than 8 hierarchies. m3u— Playlists created using “WINAMP” software have a playlist file extension (.m3u). MP3— MP3 is an audio compression standard determined by a working group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Standard Organization). MP3 compresses audio data to about 1/10 the size of that on conventional discs. 214 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

(OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) —Air flow selector settings —Operating tips D To cool off your Toyota after it has been parked in the hot sun, drive with the windows open for a few minutes. This vents the hot air, allowing the air conditioning to cool the interior more quickly. D Make sure the air intake grilles in front of the windshield are not blocked (by leaves or snow, for example). D On humid days, do not blow cold air on the windshield. The windshield could fog up because of the difference in air temperature on the inside and outside of the windshield. D Keep the area under the front seats clear to allow air to circulate throughout the vehicle. D On cold days, set the fan speed to high for a minute to help clear the intake ducts of snow or moisture. This can reduce the amount of fogging on the windows. D When driving on dusty roads, close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the air intake selector be set to FRESH and the fan speed selector to any setting except “OFF”. 249 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

But following a few simple tips for the first 1600 km (1000 miles) can add to the future economy and long life of your vehicle: Your new vehicle must use only unleaded gasoline. Select Octane Rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher. To help prevent gas station mix−ups, your Toyota has a smaller fuel tank opening. The special nozzle on pumps with unleaded fuel will fit it, but the larger standard nozzle on pumps with leaded gas will not. Use of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating or research octane number lower than stated above will cause persistent heavy knocking. If it is severe, this will lead to engine damage. D Do not drive slowly with the manual At a minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications of ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB 3.5−M93 in Canada. D Do not drive for a long time at any NOTICE If you detect heavy knocking even when using the recommended fuel, or if you hear steady knocking while holding a steady speed on level roads, consult your Toyota dealer. D Avoid full throttle acceleration when starting and driving. D Avoid racing the engine. D Try to avoid hard stops during the first 300 km (200 miles). transmission in a high gear. single speed, either fast or slow. D Do not tow a trailer during the first 800 km (500 miles). Do not use leaded gasoline. Use of leaded gasoline will cause the three− way catalytic converter to lose its effectiveness and the emission control system to function improperly. Also, this can increase maintenance costs. If your engine knocks... However, occasionally, you may notice light knocking for a short time while accelerating or driving up hills. This is normal and there is no need for concern. 286 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) GASOLINE ADDITIVES CONTAINING DETERGENT Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to avoid build−up of engine deposits. However, all gasoline sold in the U.S. contains detergent additives to keep clean and/or clean intake systems. QUALITY GASOLINE Automotive manufacturers in the U.S., Europe and Japan have developed a specification for quality fuel named World−Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC) that is expected to be applied world wide. The WWFC consists of four categories that depend on required emisvels. In the U.S., category 4 has been adopted. The WWFC improves air quality by providing for better emissions in vehicle fleets, and customer satisfaction through better vehicle performance. CLEANER BURNING GASOLINE GASOLINE CONTAINING MMT Cleaner burning gasoline, including reformulated gasoline that contains oxygenates such as ethanol or MTBE is available in many areas. Some gasoline contain an octane enhancing additive called MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl). Toyota recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline and appropriately blended reformulated gasoline. These types of gasoline provide excellent vehicle performance, reduce vehicle emissions, and improve air quality. OXYGENATES IN GASOLINE Toyota allows the use of oxygenate blended gasoline where the oxygenate content is up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE. If you use gasohol in your Toyota, be sure that it has an octane rating no lower than 87. Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol. Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline that contains MMT. If fuel containing MMT is used, your emission control system may be adversely affected. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp on the instrument cluster may come on. If this happens, contact your Toyota dealer for service. GASOLINE QUALITY In a very few cases, you may experience driveability problems caused by the particular gasoline that you are using. If you continue to have unacceptable driveability, try changing gasoline brands. If this does not rectify your problem, then consult your Toyota dealer. 287 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) NOTICE z Do not use gasohol other than stated above. It will cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems. z If driveability problems are encountered (poor hot starting, vaporizing, engine knock, etc.), discontinue the use. z Take care not to spill gasohol during refueling. Gasohol may cause paint damage. FUEL TANK CAPACITY 70 L (18.5 gal., 15.4 Imp. gal.) Fuel pump shut off system Operation in foreign countries The fuel pump shut off system stops supplying fuel to the engine to minimize the risk of fuel leakage when the engine stalls or an airbag inflates upon collision. To restart the engine after the fuel pump shut off system activates, turn the ignition switch to ACC or off once and start it. If you plan to drive your Toyota in another country... First, comply with the vehicle registration laws. Second, confirm the availability of the correct fuel (unleaded and minimum octane number). CAUTION Inspect the ground under the vehicle before restarting the engine. If you find that fuel has leaked onto the ground, the fuel system has been damaged and is in need of repair. In this case, do not restart the engine. 288 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Three−way catalytic converters The three−way catalytic converter is an emission control device installed in the exhaust system. The purpose is to reduce pollutants in the exhaust gas. CAUTION D Keep people and combustible mate- rials away from the exhaust pipe while the engine is running. The exhaust gas is very hot. 2.4 L 4−cylinder (2AZ−FE) engine D Do not drive, idle or park your ve- hicle over anything that may burn easily such as grass, leaves, paper or rags. NOTICE A large amount of unburned gases flowing into the three−way catalytic converter may cause it to overheat and create a fire hazard. To prevent this and other damage, observe the following precautions: z Use only unleaded gasoline. z Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level; running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, creating an excessive load on the three− way catalytic converter. z Do not allow the engine to run at idle speed for more than 20 minutes. z Avoid racing the engine. z Do not push−start or pull−start your vehicle. z Do not turn off the ignition while the vehicle is moving. 3.5 L V6 (2GR−FE) engine 289 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Engine exhaust cautions z Keep your engine in good running order. Malfunctions in the engine electrical system, electronic ignition system/distributor ignition system or fuel system could cause an extremely high three−way catalytic converter temperature. CAUTION D Avoid inhaling the engine exhaust. It contains carbon monoxide, which is a colorless and odorless gas. It can cause unconsciousness or even death. z If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, take your vehicle in for a check−up as soon as possible. Remember, your Toyota dealer knows your vehicle and its three−way catalytic converter system best. D Make sure the exhaust system has z To ensure that the three−way catalytic converter and the entire emission control system operate properly, your vehicle must receive the periodic inspections required by the Toyota Maintenance Schedule. For scheduled maintenance information, refer to the “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”. D Do not run the engine in a garage no holes or loose connections. The system should be checked from time to time. If you hit something, or notice a change in the sound of the exhaust, have the system checked immediately. or enclosed area except for the time needed to drive the vehicle in or out. The exhaust gases cannot escape, making this a particularly dangerous situation. D Keep the trunk lid closed while driving. An open or unsealed trunk lid may cause exhaust gases to be drawn into the vehicle. D To allow proper operation of your vehicle’s ventilation system, keep the inlet grilles in front of the windshield clear of snow, leaves, or other obstructions. D If you smell exhaust fumes in the vehicle, open the windows and close the trunk lid to ensure plenty of fresh air enters the vehicle. If you can smell exhaust fumes even though there are no other vehicles in the surrounding area, have your vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer. Continued inhalation of exhaust fumes can lead to death by gas poisoning. D Do not remain for a long time in a parked vehicle with the engine running. If it is unavoidable, however, do so only in an unconfined area and adjust the heating or cooling system to force outside air into the vehicle. 290 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Facts about engine oil consumption FUNCTIONS OF ENGINE OIL Engine oil has the primary functions of lubricating and cooling the inside of the engine, and plays a major role in maintaining the engine in proper working order. ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION It is normal that an engine should consume some engine oil during normal engine operation. The causes of oil consumption in a normal engine are as follows. D Oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a piston moves downwards in the cylinder. High negative pressure generated when the vehicle is decelerating sucks some of this oil into the combustion chamber. This oil as well as some part of the oil film left on the cylinder wall is burned by the high temperature combustion gases during the combustion process. D Oil is also used to lubricate the stems of the intake valves. Some of this oil is sucked into the combustion chamber together with the intake air and is burned along with the fuel. High temperature exhaust gases also burn the oil used to lubricate the exhaust valve stems. The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the viscosity of the oil, the quality of the oil and the conditions the vehicle is driven under. More oil is consumed by high−speed driving and frequent acceleration and deceleration. A new engine consumes more oil, since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls have not become conditioned. When judging the amount of oil consumption, note that the oil may become diluted and make it difficult to judge the true level accurately. As an example, if a vehicle is used for repeated short trips, and consumes a normal amount of oil, the dipstick may not show any drop in the oil level at all, even after 1000 km (600 miles) or more. This is because the oil is gradually becoming diluted with fuel or moisture, making it appear that the oil level has not changed. The diluting ingredients evaporate out when the vehicle is then driven at high speeds, as on an express way, making it appear that oil is excessively consumed after driving at high speeds. Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km (1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 lmp. qt./600 miles) 291 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Iridium−tipped spark plugs (2.4 L 4−cylinder [2AZ−FE] engine) Long reach iridium−tipped spark plugs (3.5 L V6 [2GR−FE] engine) IMPORTANCE OF ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK One of the most important points in proper vehicle maintenance is to keep the engine oil at the optimum level so that oil function will not be impaired. Therefore, it is essential that the oil level be checked regularly. Toyota recommends that the oil level be checked every time you refuel the vehicle. Long reach type NOTICE Failure to check the oil level regularly could lead to serious engine trouble due to insufficient oil. For detailed information on oil level check, see “Checking the engine oil level” on page 380 in Section 7−2. Your engine is fitted with iridium−tipped spark plugs. Your engine is fitted with long reach iridium−tipped spark plugs. NOTICE NOTICE Use only iridium−tipped spark plugs. Do not adjust gaps for engine performance or smooth driveability. Use only Toyota genuine long reach iridium−tipped spark plugs and do not adjust gaps for your engine performance and smooth driveability. For details about the spark plug type, see “Service specifications” on page 407 in Section 8. 292 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Brake system The tandem master cylinder brake system is a hydraulic system with two separate sub−systems. If either sub−system should fail, the other will still work. However, the pedal will be harder to press, and your stopping distance will increase. Also, the brake system warning light may come on. CAUTION Do not drive your vehicle with only a single brake system. Have your brakes fixed immediately. BRAKE BOOSTER The brake booster uses engine vacuum to power−assist the brakes. If the engine should quit while you are driving, you can bring the vehicle to a stop with normal pedal pressure. There is enough reserved vacuum for one or two stops—but no more! CAUTION D Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls. Each push on the pedal uses up your reserved vacuum. D Even if the power assist is com- pletely lost, the brakes will still work. But you will have to push the pedal hard, much harder than normal. And your braking distance will increase. ANTI−LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM The anti−lock brake system is designed to help prevent lock−up of the wheels during a sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces. This assists in providing directional stability and steering performance of the vehicle under these circumstances. Effective way to press the ABS brake pedal: When the anti−lock brake system function is in action, you may feel the brake pedal pulsating and hear a noise. In this situation, to let the anti−lock brake system work for you, just hold the brake pedal down more firmly. Do not pump the brake in a panic stop. This will result in reduced braking performance. The anti−lock brake system becomes operative after the vehicle has accelerated to a speed in excess of approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). It stops operating when the vehicle decelerates to a speed below approximately 5 km/h (3 mph). 293 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Depressing the brake pedal on slippery road surfaces such as on a manhole cover, a steel plate at a construction site, joints in a bridge, etc. on a rainy day tends to activate the anti−lock brake system. You may hear a click or motor sound in the engine compartment for a few seconds when the engine is started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This means that the anti−lock brake system is in the self−check mode, and does not indicate a malfunction. When the anti−lock brake system is activated, the following conditions may occur. They do not indicate a malfunction of the system: D You may hear the anti−lock brake sys- tem operating and feel the brake pedal pulsating and the vibrations of the vehicle body and steering wheel. You may also hear the motor sound in the engine compartment even after the vehicle is stopped. D At the end of the anti−lock brake system activation, the brake pedal may move a little forward. CAUTION Do not overestimate the anti−lock brake system: Although the anti−lock brake system assists in providing vehicle control, it is still important to drive with all due care and maintain a moderate speed and safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, because there are limits to the vehicle stability and effectiveness of steering wheel operation even with the anti− lock brake system on. If tire grip performance exceeds its capability, or if hydroplaning occurs during high speed driving in the rain, the anti−lock brake system does not provide vehicle control. Anti−lock brake system is not designed to shorten the stopping distance: Always drive at a moderate speed and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Compared with vehicles without an anti−lock brake system, your vehicle may require a longer stopping distance in the following cases: D Driving on rough, gravel or snow− covered roads. D Driving with tire chains installed. D Driving over the steps such as the joints on the road. D Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has other differences in surface height. Install all 4 tires of specified size at appropriate pressure: The anti−lock brake system detects vehicle speeds using the speed sensors for respective wheels’ turning speeds. The use of tires other than specified may fail to detect the accurate turning speed resulting in a longer stopping distance. 294 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

If the anti−lock brake system and the brake assist system work properly, the light turns off after a few seconds. Thereafter, if the system malfunctions, the light comes on again. When the “ABS” warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the anti−lock brake system, the brake assist system, the traction control system and the vehicle stability control system do not operate, but the brake system still operates conventionally. When the “ABS” warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the anti−lock brake system does not operate so that the wheels could lock up during a sudden braking or braking on slippery road surfaces. If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction somewhere in the components monitored by the warning light system. Contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible to service the vehicle. D The light does not come on when the ignition switch is set at ON, or remains on. D The light comes on while you are driving. A warning light turning on briefly during operation does not indicate a problem. CAUTION If the “ABS” warning light remains on together with the brake system warning light, immediately stop your vehicle at a safe place and contact your Toyota dealer. In this case, not only the anti−lock brake system will fail but also the vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking. DRUM−IN−DISC TYPE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM Your vehicle has a drum−in−disc type parking brake system. This type of brake system needs bedding−down of the brake shoes periodically or whenever the parking brake shoes and/or drums are replaced. Have your Toyota dealer perform the bedding−down. BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM When you slam the brakes on, the brake assist system judges as an emergency stop and provides more powerful braking for a driver who cannot hold down the brake pedal firmly. Without vehicle stability control system— When you slam the brakes on, more powerful braking will be applied. At this time, you may hear a sound behind the brake pedal. This does not indicate a malfunction. With vehicle stability control system— When you slam the brakes on, more powerful braking will be applied. At this time, you may hear a sound in the engine compartment and feel the vibrations of the brake pedal. This does not indicate a malfunction. 296 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

It provides the purchasers and/or prospective purchasers of Toyota vehicles with information on uniform tire quality grading. Your Toyota dealer will help answer any questions you may have as you read this information. DOT quality grades—All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades. Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A Treadwear—The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1−1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate. Traction AA, A, B, C—The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C, and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction. 305 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Temperature A, B, C—The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. Warning: The temperature grades for this tire are established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure. 306 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

Follow the load limits shown below. Total load capacity and seating capacity are also described on the tire and loading information label. For location of the tire and loading information label, see “Checking tire inflation pressure” on page 385. Total load capacity: 410 kg (900 lb.) Total load capacity means combined weight of occupants, cargo and luggage. Tongue load is included when trailer towing. Seating capacity: Total 5 (Front 2, Rear 3) Seating capacity means the maximum number of occupants whose estimated average weight is 68 kg (150 lb.) per person. Depending on the weight of each person, the seating capacity given may exceed the total load capacity. NOTICE Even if the number of occupants are within the seating capacity, do not exceed the total load capacity. Towing capacity: 453 kg (1000 lb.) Towing capacity means the maximum gross trailer weight (trailer weight plus its cargo weight) that your vehicle is able to tow. Cargo capacity Cargo capacity may increase or decrease depending on the size (weight) and the number of occupants. For details, see “Capacity and distribution” that follows. When stowing cargo and luggage in the vehicle, observe the following: D Put cargo and luggage in the trunk when at all possible. Be sure all items are secured in place. D Be careful to keep the vehicle balanced. Locating the weight as far forward as possible helps maintain balance. D For better fuel economy, do not carry unneeded weight. CAUTION Do not apply the load more than each load limit. That may cause not only damage to the tires, but also deterioration to the steering ability and braking ability, which may cause an accident. 310 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) —Capacity and distribution CAUTION D To prevent cargo and luggage from sliding forward during braking, do not stack anything in the enlarged trunk. Keep cargo and luggage low, as close to the floor as possible. D Vehicles with fold−down type rear seat—Never allow anyone to ride in the enlarged trunk. It is not designed for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat belts properly fastened. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer death or serious bodily injury, in the event of sudden braking or a collision. D Do not place anything on the package tray behind the rear seatback. Such items may be thrown about and possibly injure people in the vehicle during sudden braking or an accident. D Do not drive with objects left on top of the instrument panel. They may interfere with the driver’s field of view. Or they may move during sharp vehicle acceleration or turning, and impair the driver’s control of the vehicle. In an accident they may injure the vehicle occupants. Cargo capacity depends on the total weight of the occupants. (Cargo capacity) = (Total load capacity) – (Total weight of occupants) Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit— (1) Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard. (2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. (3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs. 311 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) (4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400–750 (5x150)=650 lbs.) (5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. (6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle. For details about trailer towing, see page 327. Cargo capacity Total load capacity Example on Your Vehicle In case that 2 people with the combined weight of 166 kg (366 lb.) are riding in your vehicle with the total load capacity of 410 kg (900 lb.), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be as follows: 410 kg – 166 kg = 244 kg. (900 lb. – 366 lb. = 534 lb.) From this condition, if 3 more passengers with the combined weight of 176 kg (388 lb.) get on, the available cargo and luggage load will be reduced as follows: 244 kg – 176 kg = 68 kg. (534 lb. – 388 lb. = 146 lb.) As shown in the above example, if the number of occupants increases, the cargo and luggage load equaling the combined weight of occupants who got on later must be reduced. In other words, if the increase in the number of occupants causes the excess of the total load capacity (combined weight of occupants plus cargo and luggage load), you have to reduce the cargo and luggage on your vehicle. For details about total load capacity, see “Vehicle load limits” on page 310. 312 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Types of tires CAUTION Even if the total load of occupant’s weight and the cargo load is less than the total load capacity, do not apply the load unevenly. That may cause not only damage to the tire but also deterioration to the steering ability due to unbalance of the vehicle, causing an accident. Determine what kind of tires your vehicle is originally equipped with. 1. Summer tires Summer tires are high−speed capability tires best suited to highway driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for driving on snow−covered or icy roads. For driving on snow−covered or icy roads, we recommend using snow tires. If installing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires. 2. All season tires All season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and to be adequate for driving in most winter conditions, as well as for use all year round. All season tires, however, do not have adequate traction performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, all season tires fall short in acceleration and handling performance compared with summer tires in highway driving. The details about how to distinguish summer tires from all season tires are described on page 300. CAUTION D Do not mix summer and all season tires on your vehicle as this can cause dangerous handling characteristics, resulting in loss of control. D Do not use tires other than the manufacturer’s designated tires, and never mix tires or wheels of the sizes different from the originally equipped tires and wheels. 313 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

Failure to do so can lead to severe tire damage such as a tire burst. When the vehicle’s battery is discharged, the steering lock function may not operate properly. Drive slowly when passing over bumps or travelling on a bumpy road. Otherwise, the impact could cause severe damage to the tires and/or wheels. turning off the engine, wheel will lock. the steering D When parking on a hill, turn the front wheels until they touch the curb so that the vehicle will not roll. Apply the parking brake, and place the transmission in “P” (automatic) or in first or reverse (manual). If necessary, block the wheels. D Washing your vehicle or driving through deep water may get the brakes wet. To see whether they are wet, check that there is no traffic near you, and then press the pedal lightly. If you do not feel a normal braking force, the brakes are probably wet. To dry them, drive the vehicle cautiously while lightly pressing the brake pedal with the parking brake applied. If they still do not work safely, pull to the side of the road and call a Toyota dealer for assistance. CAUTION D Before driving off, make sure that the parking brake is fully released and the parking brake reminder light is off. D Do not leave your vehicle unat- tended while the engine is running. D Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving. It can cause dangerous overheating, needless wear, and poor fuel economy. D To drive down a long or steep hill, reduce your speed and downshift. Remember, if you ride the brakes excessively, they may overheat and not work properly. 323 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

D Do not drive in excess of the speed Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non−silicate, non−amine, non−nitrite, and non−borate coolant with long−life hybrid organic acid technology. (Coolant with long−life hybrid organic acid technology is a combination of low phosphates and organic acids.) Cold temperatures reduce the capacity of any battery, so it must be in top shape to provide enough power for winter starting. Section 7−3 tells you how to visually inspect the battery.

Sudden acceleration or engine braking could cause the vehicle to skid or spin. limit. Even if the legal speed limit permits it, do not drive over 140 km/h (85 mph) unless your vehicle has high−speed capability tires. Driving over 140 km/h (85 mph) may result in tire failure, loss of control and possible injury. Be sure to consult a tire dealer to determine whether the tires on your vehicle are high−speed capability tires or not before driving at such speeds. D Do not continue normal driving when the brakes are wet. If they are wet, your vehicle will require a longer stopping distance, and it may pull to one side when the brakes are applied. Also, the parking brake will not hold the vehicle securely. See “Checking the engine coolant level” on page 382 in Section 7−2 for details of coolant type selection. For the U.S.A.—“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deionized water. This coolant provides protection down to about −35_C (−31_F). For Canada—“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 55% coolant and 45% deionized water. This coolant provides protection down to about −42_C (−44_F). Make sure the engine oil viscosity is suitable for the cold weather. See page 381 in Section 7−2 for recommended viscosity. Leaving a heavy summer oil in your vehicle during winter months may cause harder starting. If you are not sure about which oil to use, call your Toyota dealer—they will be pleased to help. Keep the door locks from freezing. Squirt lock de−icer or glycerine into the locks to keep them from freezing. NOTICE Do not use plain water alone. 324 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Dinghy towing (with automatic transmission) Use a washer fluid containing an antifreeze solution. This product is available at your Toyota dealer and most auto parts stores. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for how much to mix with water. NOTICE Depending on where you are driving, we recommend you carry some emergency equipment. Some of the things you might put in the vehicle are tire chains, window scraper, bag of sand or salt, flares, small shovel, jumper cables, etc. Do not use engine antifreeze or any other substitute because it may damage your vehicle’s paint. Do not use your parking brake when there is a possibility it could freeze. When parking, put the transmission into “P” (automatic) or into first or reverse (manual) and block the rear wheels. Do not use the parking brake, or snow or water accumulated in and around the parking brake mechanism may freeze, making it hard to release. Your vehicle is not designed to be dinghy towed (with four wheels on the ground) behind a motorhome. NOTICE Do not tow your vehicle with four wheels on the ground. This may cause serious damage to your vehicle. Keep ice and snow from accumulating under the fenders. Ice and snow built up under your fenders can make steering difficult. During bad winter driving, stop and check under the fenders occasionally. 325 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Dinghy towing (with manual transmission) DINGHY TOWING TIPS Before dinghy towing, be sure to observe the following in order to reduce the damage to your vehicle. 1. Put the shift lever in neutral. 2. Set the ignition switch at ACC. Make sure the audio is turned off and any item is not plugged into the power outlet. NOTICE Your vehicle can be dinghy towed (with four wheels on the ground) from the front behind a motorhome. CAUTION To avoid the locking of the steering wheel, set the ignition switch at ACC. NOTICE 3. Release the parking brake. After dinghy towing, let the engine idle for more than 3 minutes before driving the vehicle. Do not tow your vehicle from the rear. This may cause serious damage to your vehicle. Dinghy towing requires special equipment and accessories. Please refer to your service outlet of the motorhome manufacture for the recommended equipment. NOTICE Dinghy towing does not eliminate the possibility of damage to your vehicle. 326 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Trailer towing Your vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger−carrying vehicle. Towing a trailer will have an adverse effect on handling, performance, braking, durability and driving economy (fuel consumption, etc.). Your safety and satisfaction depend on the proper use of correct equipment and cautious driving habits. For your safety and the safety of others, you must not overload your vehicle or trailer. Toyota warranties do not apply to damage or malfunction caused by towing a trailer for commercial purposes. Ask your local Toyota dealer for further details before towing. NOTICE When towing a trailer, be sure to consult your Toyota dealer for further information on additional requirements such as a towing kit, etc. WEIGHT LIMITS Before towing, make sure the total trailer weight, gross vehicle weight, gross axle weight and trailer tongue load are all within the limits. The total trailer weight and tongue load can be measured with platform scales found at a highway weighing station, building supply company, trucking company, junk yard, etc. CAUTION D The total trailer weight (trailer weight plus its cargo load) must not exceed 453 kg (1000 lb.). Exceeding this weight is dangerous. D Trailer hitch assemblies have differ- ent weight capacities established by the hitch manufacturer. Even though the vehicle may be physically capable of towing a higher weight, the operator must determine the maximum weight rating of the particular hitch assembly and never exceed the maximum weight rating specified for the trailer−hitch. Exceeding the maximum weight rating set by the trailer hitch manufacturer can cause an accident resulting in serious personal injuries. 327 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) D The load on either the front or rear axle resulting from distribution of the gross vehicle weight on both axles must not exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed on the Certification Label. Total trailer weight Tongue load Total trailer weight D The gross vehicle weight must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) indicated on the Certification Label. The gross vehicle weight is the sum of weights of the unloaded vehicle, driver, passengers, luggage, hitch and trailer tongue load. It also includes the weight of any special equipment installed on your vehicle. Tongue load 100 = 9 to 11% D The trailer cargo load should be distributed so that the tongue load is 9 to 11% of the total trailer weight, not exceeding the maximum of 45 kg (100 lb.). Never load the trailer with more weight in the back than in the front. About 60% of the trailer load should be in the front half of the trailer and the remaining 40% in the rear. 328 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

Lubricate the hitch ball with a light coat of grease. D Toyota recommends removing the trail- er hitch whenever you are not towing a trailer to reduce the possibility of additional damage caused by the hitch if your vehicle is struck from behind. NOTICE Do not use axle−mounted hitches as they can cause damage to the axle housing, wheel bearings, wheels or tires. Also, never install a hitch which may interfere with the normal function of an Energy Absorbing Bumper, if so equipped. between the towing vehicle and the trailer. Leave sufficient slack in the chain for turns. The chain should cross under the trailer tongue to prevent the tongue from dropping to the ground in case it becomes damaged or separated. For correct safety chain procedures, follow the hitch or trailer manufacturer’s recommendations. CAUTION D Never tap into your vehicle’s hy- draulic system as it would lower its braking effectiveness. D Never tow a trailer without using a safety chain securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle. If damage occurs to the coupling unit or hitch ball, there is danger of the trailer wandering over into another lane. properly inflated. See page 385 in Section 7−2 and page 411 in Section 8 for instructions. the pressure recommended by the trailer manufacturer in respect to the total trailer weight. TRAILER LIGHTS D Trailer lights must comply with federal, state/provincial and local regulations. See your local recreational vehicle dealer or rental agency for the correct type of wiring and relays for your trailer. Check for correct operation of the turn signals and stop lights each time you hitch up. Direct splicing may damage your vehicle’s electrical system and cause a malfunction of your lights. BREAK−IN SCHEDULE D Toyota recommends that you do not tow a trailer with a new vehicle or a vehicle with any new power train component (engine, transmission, differential, wheel bearing, etc.) for the first 800 km (500 miles) of driving. 329 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) MAINTENANCE TRAILER TOWING TIPS D If you tow a trailer, your vehicle will When towing a trailer, your vehicle will handle differently than when not towing. The three main causes of vehicle− trailer accidents are driver error, excessive speed and improper trailer loading. Keep these in mind when towing: require more frequent maintenance due to the additional load. For this information, please refer to the scheduled maintenance information in the “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”. D Retighten all fixing bolts of the towing ball and bracket after approximately 1000 km (600 miles) of trailer driving. PRE−TOWING SAFETY CHECK D Check that your vehicle remains level when a loaded or unloaded trailer is hitched. Do not drive if the vehicle has an abnormal nose−up or nose−down condition, and check for improper tongue load, overload, worn suspension or other possible causes. D Make sure the trailer cargo is securely loaded so that it can not shift. D Check that your rear view mirrors con- form to any applicable federal, state/ provincial or local regulations. If not, install the rear view mirrors required for towing purpose. D Before starting out, check operation of the lights and all vehicle−trailer connections. After driving a short distance, stop and recheck the lights and connections. Before actually towing a trailer, practice turning, stopping and backing with a trailer in an area away from traffic until you learn the feel. D Backing with a trailer is difficult and requires practice. Grip the bottom of the steering wheel and move your hand to the left to move the trailer to the left. Move your hand to the right to move the trailer to the right. (This procedure is generally opposite to that when backing without a trailer.) Also, just turn the steering wheel a little at a time, avoiding sharp or prolonged turning. Have someone guide you when backing to reduce the risk of an accident. D Because stopping distance may be in- creased, vehicle−to−vehicle distance should be increased when towing a trailer. For each 16 km/h (10 mph) of speed, allow at least one vehicle and trailer length between you and the vehicle ahead. Avoid sudden braking as you may skid, resulting in jackknifing and loss of control. This is especially true on wet or slippery surfaces. D Avoid jerky starts or sudden accelera- tion. If your vehicle has a manual transmission, prevent excessive clutch slippage by keeping engine rpm low and not racing the engine. Always start out in first gear. D Avoid jerky steering and sharp turns. The trailer could hit your vehicle in a tight turn. Slow down before making a turn to avoid the necessity of sudden braking. D Remember that when making a turn, the trailer wheels will be closer than the vehicle wheels to the inside of the turn. Therefore, compensate for this by making a larger than normal turning radius with your vehicle. 330 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) D Crosswinds and rough roads will ad- versely affect handling of your vehicle and trailer, causing sway. Pay attention to the rear from time to time to prepare yourself for being passed by large trucks or buses, which may cause your vehicle and trailer to sway. If swaying happens, firmly grip the steering wheel and reduce speed immediately but gradually. Never increase speed. Steer straight ahead. If you make no extreme correction with the steering or brakes, the vehicle and trailer will stabilize. D Be careful when passing other ve- hicles. Passing requires considerable distance. After passing a vehicle, do not forget the length of your trailer and be sure you have plenty of room before changing lanes. D In order to maintain engine braking effi- ciency do not use overdrive (automatic transmission) or fifth gear (manual transmission). D Because of the added load of the trail- er, your vehicle’s engine may overheat on hot days (at temperatures over 30_C [85_F]) when going up a long or steep grade with a trailer. If the engine coolant temperature gauge indicates overheating, immediately turn off the air conditioning (if in use), pull off the road and stop in a safe spot. Refer to “If your vehicle overheats” on page 342 in Section 4. D Always place wheel blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Apply the parking brake firmly. Put the transmission in “P” (automatic) or in first or reverse (manual). Avoid parking on a slope with a trailer, but if it cannot be avoided, do so only after performing the following: When restarting out after parking on a slope: 1. With the transmission in “P” position (automatic) or the clutch pedal depressed (manual), start the engine. (With an automatic transmission, be sure to keep the brake pedal depressed.) 2. Shift into gear. 3. Release the parking brake (also foot brake on automatic transmission vehicles) and slowly pull or back away from the wheel blocks. Stop and apply your brakes. 4. Have someone retrieve the blocks. 1. Apply the brakes and hold. 2. Have someone place wheel blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels. 3. When the wheel blocks are in place, release your brakes slowly until the blocks absorb the load. 4. Apply the parking brake firmly. 5. Shift into “P” (automatic) or first or reverse (manual) and turn off the engine. 331 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) How to save fuel and make your vehicle last longer CAUTION D Do not exceed 72 km/h (45 mph) or the posted towing speed limit, whichever is lower. Because instability (swaying) of a towing vehicle− trailer combination usually increases as the speed increases, exceeding 72 km/h (45 mph) may cause loss of control. D Slow down and downshift before descending steep or long downhill grades. Do not make sudden downshifts. D Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat and result in reduced braking efficiency. Improving fuel economy is easy—just take it easy. It will help make your vehicle last longer, too. Here are some specific tips on how to save money on both fuel and repairs: D Avoid long engine idling. If you have D Keep your tires inflated at the cor- ving. Use a gear position suitable for the road on which you are travelling. rect pressure. Underinflation causes tire wear and wastes fuel. See page 385 in Section 7−2 for instructions. D Do not carry unneeded weight in your vehicle. Excess weight puts a heavier load on the engine, causing greater fuel consumption. D Avoid lengthy warm−up idling. Once the engine is running smoothly, begin driving—but gently. Remember, however, that on cold winter days this may take a little longer. D Keep the automatic transmission se- lector lever in the “D” position when engine braking is not required. Driving with the selector lever in a position other than “D” will reduce the fuel economy. (For details, see “Automatic transmission” on page 161 in Section 1−7.) D Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Avoid jackrabbit starts. Get into high gear as quickly as possible. a long wait and you are not in traffic, it is better to turn off the engine and start again later. D Avoid engine lugging or over−revD Avoid continuous speeding up and slowing down. wastes fuel. Stop−and−go driving D Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking. Maintain a steady pace. Try to time the traffic signals so you only need to stop as little as possible or take advantage of through streets to avoid traffic lights. Keep a proper distance from other vehicles to avoid sudden braking. This will also reduce wear on your brakes. D Avoid heavy traffic or traffic jams whenever possible. D Do not rest your foot on the clutch or brake pedal. This causes premature wear, overheating and poor fuel economy. D Maintain a moderate speed on high- ways. The faster you drive, the greater the fuel consumption. By reducing your speed, you will cut down on fuel consumption. 332 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) D Keep the front wheels in proper alignment. Avoid hitting the curb and slow down on rough roads. Improper alignment not only causes faster tire wear but also puts an extra load on the engine, which, in turn, wastes fuel. D Keep the bottom of your vehicle free from mud, etc. This not only lessens weight but also helps prevent corrosion. CAUTION Never turn off the engine to coast down hills. Your power steering and brake booster will not function without the engine running. Also, the emission control system operates properly only when the engine is running. D Keep your vehicle tuned−up and in top shape. A dirty air cleaner, improper valve clearance, dirty plugs, dirty oil and grease, brakes not adjusted, etc. all lower engine performance and contribute to poor fuel economy. For longer life of all parts and lower operating costs, keep all maintenance work on schedule, and if you often drive under severe conditions, see that your vehicle receives more frequent maintenance. (For scheduled maintenance information, please refer to the “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.) 333 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

If your vehicle is equipped with the engine immobilizer system, also check whether the other keys will start the engine. If they work, your key may be broken. Have the key checked at your Toyota dealer. If none of your keys work, there may be a malfunction in the immobilizer system. Call your Toyota dealer. (See “Keys” on page 14 or 16 in Section 1−2.) If the engine is not turning over or is turning over too slowly— 1. Check that the battery terminals are tight and clean. 2. If the battery terminals are O.K., switch on the interior light. 3. With smart key system—If the light is on, you may try emergency start. See “(b) Emergency start” on page 337 for further instructions. 4. If the light is out, dim or goes out when the starter is cranked, the battery is discharged. You may try jump starting. See “(d) Jump starting” on page 338 for further instructions. 5. With smart key system—If the engine does not start even after the battery has been recharged or replaced, see “(e) Starting the engine after a battery discharge” on page 341 for further instruction. NOTICE Do not pull− or push−start the vehicle. It may damage the vehicle or cause a collision when the engine starts. Also the three−way catalytic converter may overheat and become a fire hazard. If the engine turns over at its normal speed but will not start— 1. Set the ignition switch to ACC or off and try starting the engine again. 2. If the engine will not start, the engine may be flooded because of repeated cranking. See “(c) Starting a flooded engine” on page 337 for further instructions. 3. If the engine still will not start, it needs adjustment or repair. Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop. If the light is O.K., but the engine still will not start, it needs adjustment or repair. Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop. 336 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) (b) Emergency start (vehicles with smart key system) When the engine does not start, the following procedure can be used to start the engine if the vehicle’s starting system and “ENGINE START STOP” switch function normally. 1. Put the transmission in “P”. 2. Set the ignition switch to ACC by pushing the “ENGINE START STOP” switch once. 3. Push and hold the “ENGINE START STOP” switch for about 15 seconds while depressing the brake pedal firmly. Even if the engine can be started using the above procedure, the system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer. If the engine cannot be started using the above procedure, immediately contact your Toyota dealer. (c) Starting a flooded engine CAUTION Do not place any objects close to the “ENGINE START STOP” switch. If the object pushes on the switch, an unexpected engine start may result. If the engine will not start, your engine may be flooded because of repeated cranking. With key cylinder−type ignition switch—If this happens, turn the key to “START” with the accelerator pedal fully depressed. Keep the key and accelerator pedal in these positions for 15 seconds and release them. Then try starting the engine with your foot off the accelerator pedal. With smart key system—If this happens, press the “ENGINE START STOP” switch (engine switch) with the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal fully depressed, and hold the “ENGINE START STOP” switch for about 30 seconds. Then the cranking hold function stops cranking automatically, and you can try starting the engine with your foot off the accelerator pedal. If the engine does not start, wait a few minutes and try again. If the engine still will not start, it needs adjustment or repair. Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop for assistance. 337 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) (d) Jump starting NOTICE With key cylinder−type ignition switch—Do not crank for more than 30 seconds at a time. This may overheat the starter and wiring systems. To avoid serious personal injury and damage to your vehicle which might result from battery explosion, acid burns, electrical burns, or damaged electronic components, these instructions must be followed precisely. If you are unsure about how to follow this procedure, we strongly recommend that you seek the help of a competent mechanic or towing service. CAUTION D Batteries contain sulfuric acid which is poisonous and corrosive. Wear protective safety glasses when jump starting, and avoid spilling acid on your skin, clothing, or vehicle. D The gas normally produced by a battery will explode if a flame or spark is brought near. Use only standardized jumper cables and do not smoke or light a match while jump starting. NOTICE The battery used for boosting must be 12 V. Do not jump start unless you are sure that the booster battery is correct. D If you should accidentally get acid on yourself or in your eyes, remove any contaminated clothing and flush the affected area with water immediately. Then get immediate medical attention. If possible, continue to apply water with a sponge or cloth while enroute to the medical office. 338 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE When boosting, use the battery of matching or higher quality. Any other battery may be difficult to jump start with. If jump starting is difficult, charge the battery for several minutes. Jumper cable Discharged battery 1. If the booster battery is installed in another vehicle, make sure the vehicles are not touching. Turn off all unnecessary lights and accessories. Booster battery Positive terminal (“+”mark) Jumper cable Discharged battery Positive terminal (“+”mark) 2. If required, remove all the vent plugs from the booster and discharged batteries. Lay a cloth over the open vents on the batteries. (This helps reduce the explosion hazard, personal injuries and burns.) 4. Make the cable connections in the order a, b, c, d. 3. If the engine in the vehicle with the booster battery is not running, start it and let it run for a few minutes. During jump starting run the engine at about 2000 rpm with the accelerator pedal lightly depressed. b. Connect the clamp at the other end of the positive (red) jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal on the booster battery. a. Connect the clamp of the positive (red) jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal on the discharged battery. Negative terminal (“−”mark) Booster battery c. Connect the clamp of the negative (black) jumper cable to the negative (−) terminal on the booster battery. d. Connect the clamp at the other end of the negative (black) jumper cable to a solid, stationary, unpainted, metallic point of the vehicle with the discharged battery. 339 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) 5. Charge the discharged battery with the jumper cables connected for approximately 5 minutes. At this time, run the engine in the vehicle with the booster battery at about 2000 rpm with the accelerator pedal lightly depressed. 6. Start your engine in the normal way. After starting, run it at about 2000 rpm for several minutes with the accelerator pedal lightly depressed. 7. Carefully disconnect the cables in the exact reverse order: the negative cable and then the positive cable. The recommended connecting point is in the above illustration. Do not connect it to or near any part that moves when the engine is cranked. CAUTION When making the connections, to avoid serious injury, do not lean over the battery or accidentally let the jumper cables or clamps touch anything except the correct battery terminals or the ground. If the first start attempt is not successful... Check that the clamp on the jumper cables are tight. Recharge the discharged battery with the jumper cables connected for several minutes and restart your engine in the normal way. If the another attempt is not successful, the battery may be depleted. Have it checked at your Toyota dealer. 8. Carefully dispose of the battery cover cloths—they may now contain sulfuric acid. 9. If removed, replace all the battery vent plugs. With smart key system—The engine may not restart even after battery charging or replacement. If this happens, see “(d) Starting the engine after a battery discharge” described below. If the cause of your battery discharging is not apparent (for example, lights left on), you should have it checked at your Toyota dealer. 340 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) (e) Starting the engine after a battery discharge If your engine stalls while driving If you cannot increase engine speed In the event that the battery is discharged, the engine may not restart even after the battery is recharged or replaced. For safety reasons, the engine may be disabled when battery voltage is extremely low. If the engine is disabled, the start system must be normalized. If your engine stalls while driving... If engine speed does not increase when the accelerator pedal is depressed, there may be a problem somewhere in the electronic throttle control system. To normalize the start system: If the engine will not start, see “If your vehicle will not start” on page 336 in this Section. (vehicles with smart key system) 1. Shift the transmission to the “P” position and set the ignition switch off. 2. Open and close any of the doors. 3. Start the engine. 1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place. 2. Turn on your emergency flashers. 3. Set the ignition switch to ACC or off, and try starting the engine again. CAUTION D If the engine is not running, the power assist for the brakes and steering will not work so steering and braking will be much harder than usual. D Vehicles with smart key system— If the engine stalls while driving, do not open the driver’s door until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Opening the driver’s door locks the steering wheel, resulting in loss of steering control. At this time, vibration may occur. However, if you depress the accelerator pedal more firmly and slowly, you can drive your vehicle at low speeds. Have your vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. Even if the abnormality of the electronic throttle control system is corrected during low speed driving, the system may not be recovered until the engine is stopped and the ignition switch is set to ACC or off. CAUTION Be especially careful to prevent erroneous pedal operation. 341 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) If your vehicle overheats If your engine coolant temperature gauge indicates overheating, if you experience a loss of power, or if you hear a loud knocking or pinging noise, the engine has probably overheated. You should follow this procedure... 3. Look for obvious coolant leaks from the radiator, hoses,and under the vehicle. However, note that water draining from the air conditioning is normal if it has been used. 1. Pull safely off the road, stop the vehicle and turn on your emergency flashers. Put the transmission in “P” (automatic) or neutral (manual) and apply the parking brake. Turn off the air conditioning if it is being used. CAUTION 2. If coolant or steam is boiling out of the radiator or reservoir, stop the engine. Wait until the steam subsides before opening the hood. If there is no coolant boiling over or steam, leave the engine running and make sure the electric cooling fan is operating. If it is not, turn the ignition off. CAUTION To help avoid personal injury, keep the hood closed until there is no steam. Escaping steam or coolant is a sign of very high pressure. 6. After the engine coolant temperature has cooled to normal, again check the coolant level in the reservoir. If necessary, bring it up to half full again. Serious coolant loss indicates a leak in the system. You should have it checked as soon as possible at your Toyota dealer. When the engine is running, keep hands and clothing away from the moving fan and engine drive belts. 4. If the coolant is leaking, stop the engine immediately. Call a Toyota dealer for assistance. 5. If there are no obvious leaks, check the coolant reservoir. If it is dry, add coolant to the reservoir while the engine is running. Fill it about half full. For the coolant type, see “Coolant type selection” on page 382 in Section 7−2. CAUTION Do not attempt to remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Serious injury could result from scalding hot fluid and steam blown out under pressure. 342 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) If you have a flat tire— 1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place well away from the traffic. Avoid stopping on the center divider of a highway. Park on a level spot with firm ground. 2. Stop the engine and turn on your emergency flashers. 3. Firmly set the parking brake and put the transmission in “P” (automatic) or reverse (manual). 4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle on the side away from traffic. 5. Read the following instructions thoroughly. CAUTION When jacking, be sure to observe the following to reduce the possibility of death or serious injury: D Follow jacking instructions. D Do not put any part of your body under the vehicle supported by the jack. Otherwise, personal injury may occur. D Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is supported by the jack. D Stop the vehicle on a level firm ground, firmly set the parking brake and put the transmission in “P” (automatic) or reverse (manual). Block the wheel diagonally opposite to the one being changed if necessary. D Make sure to set the jack properly in the jack point. Raising the vehicle with jack improperly positioned will damage the vehicle or may allow the vehicle to fall off the jack and cause personal injury. D Never get under the vehicle when the vehicle is supported by the jack alone. D Use the jack only for lifting your vehicle during wheel changing. D Do not raise the vehicle with someone in the vehicle. D When raising the vehicle, do not place any objects on top of or underneath the jack.

After making sure that no one is in the vehicle, raise it high enough so that the spare tire can be installed. Remember you will need more ground clearance when putting on the spare tire than when removing the flat tire. To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle into the jack (it is a loose fit) and turn it clockwise. As the jack touches the vehicle and begins to lift, double−check that it is properly positioned. 7. Remove the wheel nuts and change tires. Lift the flat tire straight off and put it aside. Roll the spare wheel into position and align the holes in the wheel with the bolts. Then lift up the wheel and get at least the top bolt started through its hole. Wiggle the tire and press it back over the other bolts. 349 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) —Reinstalling wheel nuts CAUTION Never use oil or grease on the bolts or nuts. Doing so may lead to overtightening the nuts and damaging the bolts. The nuts may loose and the wheels may fall off, which could cause a serious accident. If there is oil or grease on any bolt or nut, clean it. Before putting on wheels, remove any corrosion on the mounting surfaces with a wire brush or such. Installation of wheels without good metal−to−metal contact at the mounting surface can cause wheel nuts to loosen and eventually cause a wheel to come off while driving. 8. Reinstall all the wheel nuts finger tight. Reinstall the wheel nuts (tapered end inward) and tighten them as much as you can by hand. Press back on the tire and see if you can tighten them more. 350 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

In consultation with them, have your vehicle towed using either (a) or (b). TOWING PRECAUTIONS: Proper equipment will help ensure that your vehicle is not damaged while being towed. Commercial operators are generally aware of the state/provincial and local laws pertaining to towing. (a) Towing with wheel lift type truck Your vehicle can be damaged if it is towed incorrectly. Although most operators know the correct procedure, it is possible to make a mistake. To avoid damage to your vehicle, make sure the following precautions are observed. If necessary, show this page to the tow truck driver. Use a safety chain system for all towing, and abide by the state/provincial and local laws. The wheels and axle on the ground must be in good condition. If they are damaged, use a towing dolly. NOTICE When lifting wheels, take care to ensure adequate ground clearance for towing at the opposite end of the raised vehicle. Otherwise, the bumper and/or underbody of the towed vehicle will be damaged during towing. From front—Release the parking brake. From rear— D Manual transmission: We recommend using a towing dolly under the front wheels. If you do not use a towing dolly, set the ignition switch at ACC and put the transmission in neutral. NOTICE Do not tow with the key removed or in the “LOCK” position when towing from the rear without a towing dolly. The steering lock mechanism is not strong enough to hold the front wheels straight. D Automatic transmission: Use a towing dolly under the front wheels. NOTICE Never tow a vehicle with an automatic transmission from the rear with the front wheels on the ground, as this may cause serious damage to the transmission.

(OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) If you lose your keys You can purchase a new key at your Toyota dealer if you can give them the key number and master key. Vehicles with key cylinder−type ignition switch—Even if you lose only one key, contact your Toyota dealer to make a new key. If you lose all your master keys, you cannot make new keys; the whole engine immobilizer system must be replaced. If your keys are locked in the vehicle and you cannot get a duplicate, many Toyota dealers can still open the door for you, using their special tools. If you must break a window to get in, we suggest breaking the smallest side window because it is the least expensive to replace. Be extremely cautious to avoid cuts from the glass. Vehicles with smart key system—If you lose any of your keys, contact your Toyota dealer to have new keys made. Lost keys increase the danger of vehicle theft. Bring all of the remaining vehicle keys when you visit your Toyota dealer. See the suggestion given in “Keys” on page 14 or 16 in Section 1−2. You can use the wireless remote control system and smart entry and start system by new key, if the systems are equipped with your vehicle.

(OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Protecting your Toyota from corrosion Toyota, through the diligent research, design and use of the most advanced technology available, helps prevent corrosion and provides you with the finest quality vehicle construction. Now, it is up to you. Proper care of your Toyota can help ensure long−term corrosion prevention. The most common causes of corrosion to your vehicle are: D The accumulation of road salt, dirt and moisture in hard−to−reach areas under the vehicle. D Chipping of paint, or undercoating caused by minor accidents or by stones and gravel. Care is especially important if you live in particular areas or operate your vehicle under certain environmental conditions: D Road salt or dust control chemicals will accelerate corrosion, as will the presence of salt in the air near the sea− coast or in areas of industrial pollution. D High humidity accelerates corrosion es- pecially when temperatures range just above the freezing point. D Wetness or dampness to certain parts of your vehicle for an extended period of time, may cause corrosion even though other parts of the vehicle may be dry. D High ambient temperatures can cause corrosion to those components of the vehicle which do not dry quickly due to lack of proper ventilation. The above signifies the necessity to keep your vehicle, particularly the underside, as clean as possible and to repair any damage to paint or protective coatings as soon as possible. D High pressure water or steam is effec- tive for cleaning the vehicle’s underside and wheel housings. Pay particular attention to these areas as it is difficult to see all the mud and dirt. It will do more harm than good to simply wet the mud and debris without removing. The lower edge of doors, rocker panels and frame members have drain holes which should not be allowed to clog with dirt as trapped water in these areas can cause corrosion. D Wash the underside of the vehicle thoroughly when winter is over. your See “Washing and waxing your Toyota” on page 359 for more tips. Wash your vehicle frequently. It is, of course, necessary to keep your vehicle clean by regular washing, but to prevent corrosion, the following points should be observed: Check the condition of your vehicle’s paint and trim. If you find any chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up immediately to prevent corrosion from starting. If the chips or scratches have gone through the bare metal, have a qualified body shop make the repair. To help prevent corrosion on Toyota, follow these guidelines: D If you drive on salted roads in the winter or if you live near the ocean, you should hose off the undercarriage at least once a month to minimize corrosion. 358 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Washing and waxing your Toyota Check the interior of your vehicle. Water and dirt can accumulate under the floor mats and could cause corrosion. Occasionally check under the mats to make sure the area is dry. Be particularly careful when transporting chemicals, cleansers, fertilizers, salt, etc.; these should be transported in proper containers. If a spill or leak should occur, immediately clean and dry the area. Use mud shields on your wheels. If you drive on salted or gravel roads, mud shields help protect your vehicle. Full−size shields, which come as near to the ground as possible, are the best. We recommend that the fittings and the area where the shields are installed be treated to resist corrosion. Your Toyota dealer will be happy to assist in supplying and installing the shields if they are recommended for your area. Keep your vehicle in a well ventilated garage or a roofed place. Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorly ventilated garage. If you wash your vehicle in the garage, or if you drive it covered with water or snow, your garage may be so damp as to cause corrosion. Even if your garage is heated, a wet vehicle can corrode if the ventilation is poor. Hand−washing your Toyota Washing your Toyota Keep your washing. vehicle clean by regular Work in the shade and wait until the vehicle body is not warm to the touch. The following cases may cause weakness to the paint or corrosion to the body and parts. Wash your vehicle as soon as possible.

When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipe until it has cooled sufficiently, as touching a hot exhaust pipe can cause burns. 1. Rinse off loose dirt with a hose. Remove any mud or road salt from the underside of the vehicle or the wheel wells. 2. Wash with a mild car−wash soap, mixed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Use a soft cotton mitt and keep it wet by dipping it frequently into the wash water. Do not rub hard—let the soap and water remove the dirt. 359 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Fuel filler door: Do not apply water (high− pressure car wash, for example) at or near the fuel tank inlet with the fuel filler door opened. If the water enters the air vent, you may experience trouble with refueling or rough engine idling. 4. To prevent water spots, dry the vehicle using a clean soft cotton towel. Do not rub or press hard—you might scratch the paint. Plastic wheel ornaments: The plastic wheel ornaments are damaged easily by organic substances. If any organic substances splash an ornament, be sure to wash them off with water and check if the ornament is damaged. z Do not use organic substances (gasoline, kerosene, benzine or strong solvents), which may be toxic or cause damage. Aluminum wheels: Use only a mild soap or neutral detergent. Plastic bumpers: Wash carefully. Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners. The bumper faces are soft. Exterior lights: Wash carefully. Do not use organic substances or scrub them with a hard brush. This may damage the surfaces of the lights. Road tar: Remove with turpentine or cleaners that are marked safe for painted surfaces. 3. Rinse thoroughly—dried soap can cause streaking. In hot weather you may need to rinse each section right after you wash it. NOTICE z Do not scrub any part of the vehicle with a hard brush, which may cause damage. Automatic car wash Your vehicle may be washed in an automatic car wash, but remember that the paint can be scratched by some types of brushes, unfiltered washing water, or the washing process itself. Scratching reduces paint durability and gloss, especially on darker colors. The manager of the car wash should be able to advise you whether the process is safe for the paint on your vehicle. Waxing your Toyota Polishing and waxing is recommended to maintain the original beauty of your Toyota’s finish. Apply wax once a month or if the vehicle surface does not repel water well. 1. Always wash and dry the vehicle before you begin waxing, even if you are using a combined cleaner and wax. 2. Use a good quality polish and wax. If the finish has become extremely weathered, use a car−cleaning polish, followed by a separate wax. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions and precautions. Be sure to polish and wax the chrome trim as well as the paint. Windshield washer nozzles: Make sure that the nozzles do not become blocked when waxing. If a nozzle becomes blocked, contact your Toyota dealer to have the vehicle serviced. NOTICE If a nozzle becomes blocked, do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged. 360 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Cleaning the interior Exterior lights: Do not apply wax on the surfaces of the lights. Wax may cause damage to the lenses. If you accidentally put wax on the light surfaces, wipe or wash it off. 3. Wax the vehicle again when water does not bead but remains on the surface in large patches. CAUTION D Vehicles with side airbags and curtain shield airbags: Be careful not to splash water or spill liquid on the floor. This may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, resulting in serious injury. D Do not wash the vehicle floor with water, or allow water to get onto the floor when cleaning the vehicle interior or exterior. Water may get into audio components or other electrical components above or under the floor carpet (or mat) and cause a malfunction; and it may cause body corrosion. Vinyl interior The vinyl upholstery may be easily cleaned with a mild soap or detergent and water. First vacuum over the upholstery to remove loose dirt. Then, using a sponge or soft cloth, apply the soap solution to the vinyl. After allowing it to soak in for a few minutes to loosen the dirt, remove the dirt and wipe off the soap with a clean damp cloth. If all the dirt do not come off, repeat the procedure. Commercial foaming− type vinyl cleaners are also available which work well. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. NOTICE Do not use solvent, thinner, gasoline or window cleaner on the interior. 361 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Carpets Windows Use a good foam−type clean the carpets. shampoo to Begin by vacuuming thoroughly to remove as much dirt as possible. Several types of foam cleaners are available; some are in aerosol cans and others are powders or liquids which you mix with water to produce a foam. To shampoo the carpets, use a sponge or brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping circles. Do not apply water—the best results are obtained by keeping the carpet as dry as possible. Read the shampoo instructions and follow them closely. Seat belts The seat belts may be cleaned with mild soap and water or with lukewarm water. The windows may be cleaned with any household window cleaner. NOTICE When cleaning the inside of the rear window, be careful not to scratch or damage the heater wires or connectors. Air conditioning control panel, audio panel, instrument panel, console panel and switches. Use a soft damp cloth for cleaning. Soak a clean soft cloth in water or lukewarm water then lightly wipe off dirt. NOTICE z Do not use organic substances (solvents, kerosene, alcohol, gasoline, etc.) or alkaline or acidic solutions. These chemicals can cause discoloring, staining or peeling of the surface. z If you use cleaners or polishing agents, make sure their ingredients do not include the substances mentioned above. z If you use a liquid car freshener, do not spill the liquid onto the vehicle’s interior surfaces. It may contain the ingredients mentioned above. Immediately clean any spill using the method mentioned above. Use a cloth or sponge. As you are cleaning, check the belts for excessive wear, fraying, or cuts. NOTICE z Do not use dye or bleach on the belts—it may weaken them. z Do not use the belts until they become dry. 362 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Leather interior The leather upholstery may be cleaned with neutral detergent for wool. Remove dirt using a soft cloth dampened with 5% solution of neutral detergent for wool. Then thoroughly wipe off all traces of detergent with a clean damp cloth. After cleaning or whenever any part of the leather gets wet, dry with a soft clean cloth. Allow the leather to dry in a ventilated shaded area. NOTICE z If a stain should fail to come out with a neutral detergent, apply a cleaner that does not contain an organic solvent. z Never use organic substances such as benzine, alcohol or gasoline, or alkaline or acid solutions for cleaning the leather as these could cause discoloring. z Use of a nylon brush or synthetic fiber cloth, etc. may scratch the fine grained surface of the leather. z Mildew may develop on soiled leather upholstery. Be especially careful to avoid oil spots. Try to keep your upholstery always clean. z Long exposure to direct sunlight may cause the leather surface to harden and shrink. Keep your vehicle in a shaded area, especially in the summer. z The interior of your vehicle is apt to heat up on hot summer days, so avoid placing on the upholstery items made of vinyl or plastic or containing wax as these tend to stick to leather when warm. z Improper cleaning of the leather upholstery could result in discoloration or staining.

It is the owner’s responsibility to make sure the specified maintenance, including general maintenance service, is performed. Note that both the new vehicle and emission control system warranties specify that proper maintenance and care must be performed. See “Owner’s Warranty Information Booklet” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement” for complete warranty information. General maintenance General maintenance items are those day− to−day care practices that are important to your vehicle for proper operation. It is the owner’s responsibility to insure that the general maintenance items are performed regularly. These checks or inspections can be done either by yourself or a qualified technician, or if you prefer, your Toyota dealer will be pleased to do them at a nominal cost. Scheduled maintenance Where to go for service? The scheduled maintenance items listed in the “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement” are those required to be serviced at regular intervals. Toyota technicians are well−trained specialists and are kept up to date with the latest service information through technical bulletins, service tips, and in−dealership training programs. They learn to work on Toyotas before they work on your vehicle, rather than while they are working on it. For details of your maintenance schedule, read the “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”. It is recommended that any replacement parts used for maintenance or for the repair of the emission control system be Toyota supplied. The owner may elect to use non−Toyota supplied parts for replacement purposes without invalidating the emission control system warranty. However, use of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may impair the effectiveness of the emission control systems. You can be confident that your Toyota dealer’s service department performs the best job to meet the maintenance requirements on your vehicle—reliably and economically. Your copy of the repair order is proof that all required maintenance has been performed for warranty coverage. If any problems should arise with your vehicle while under warranty, your Toyota dealer will promptly take care of it. Again, be sure to keep a copy of the repair order for any service performed on your Toyota. You may also elect to have maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and system performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual without invalidating this warranty. See “Owner’s Warranty Information Booklet” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement” for complete warranty information. 366 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) General maintenance What about do−it−yourself maintenance? Many of the maintenance items are easy to do yourself if you have a little mechanical ability and a few basic automotive tools. Simple instructions for how to perform them are presented on page 371 in Section 7. If you are a skilled do−it−yourself mechanic, the Toyota service manuals are recommended. Please be aware that do−it−yourself maintenance can affect your warranty coverage. See “Owner’s Warranty Information Booklet” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement” for the details. Listed below are the general maintenance items that should be performed as frequently as specified. In addition to checking the items listed, if you notice any unusual noise, smell or vibration, you should investigate the cause or take your vehicle to your Toyota dealer or a qualified service shop immediately. It is recommended that any problem you notice be brought to the attention of your dealer or the qualified service shop for their advice. CAUTION Make these checks only with adequate ventilation if you run the engine. IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT Items listed below should be checked from time to time, e.g. each time when refueling. Washer fluid Make sure there is sufficient fluid in the tank. See page 399 in Section 7−3 for additional information.

Lights Make sure the headlights, stop lights, tail lights, turn signal lights, and other lights are all working. Check headlight aim. Power steering fluid level Check the level through the reservoir. The level should be in the “HOT” or “COLD” range depending on the fluid temperature. See page 384 in Section 7−2 for additional information. Exhaust system If you notice any change in the sound of the exhaust or smell exhaust fumes, have the cause located and corrected immediately. (See “Engine exhaust cautions” on page 290 in Section 2.) Items listed below should be checked regularly, e.g. while performing periodic services, cleaning the vehicle, etc. Service reminder indicators and warning buzzers Check that all service reminder indicators and warning buzzers function properly. Steering wheel Be alert for changes in steering condition, such as hard steering or strange noise. Seats Check that all front seat controls such as seat adjusters, seatback recliner, etc. operate 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 In a safe place, check that the brakes do not pull to one side when applied. Parking brake Check that the lever or pedal has the proper travel and that, on a safe incline, your vehicle is held securely with only the parking brake applied. 368 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Does your vehicle need repairing? Automatic transmission “Park” mechanism Check the lock release button of the selector lever for proper and smooth operation. On a safe incline, check that your vehicle is held securely with the selector lever in “P” position and all brakes released. OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE Items listed below should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise specified. Fluid leaks Check underneath for leaking fuel, oil, water 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. Doors and engine hood Check that all doors including trunk lid operate smoothly and all latches lock securely. Make sure the engine hood secondary latch secures the hood from opening when the primary latch is released. Tire inflation pressure Check the pressure with a gauge every two weeks, or at least once a month. See page 385 in Section 7−2 for additional information. Tire surface and wheel nuts Check the tires carefully for cuts, damage or excessive wear. See page 388 in Section 7−2 for additional information. When checking the tires, make sure no nuts are missing, and check the nuts for looseness. Tighten them if necessary. Tire rotation Rotate the tires according to the maintenance schedule. (For scheduled maintenance information, please refer to the “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.) See page 390 in Section 7−2 for additional information. Be on the alert for changes in performance, sounds, and visual tip−offs that indicate service is needed. Some important clues are as follows: D D D D Engine missing, stumbling, or pinging Appreciable loss of power Strange engine noises A leak under the vehicle (however, water dripping from the air conditioning after use is normal.) D Change in exhaust sound (This may indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide leak. Drive with the windows open and have the exhaust system checked immediately.) D Flat−looking tire; excessive tire squeal when cornering; uneven tire wear D Vehicle pulls to one side when driving straight on a level road D Strange noises related to suspension movement D Loss of brake effectiveness; spongy feeling brake or clutch pedal; pedal almost touches floor; vehicle pulls to one side when braking D Engine coolant temperature continually higher than normal 369 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Emissions Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs If you notice any of these clues, take your vehicle to your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. It probably needs adjustment or repair. CAUTION Do not continue driving with the vehicle unchecked. It could result in serious vehicle damage and possibly personal injury. Some states have vehicle emission inspection programs which include OBD (On−Board Diagnostics) checks. The OBD system monitors the operation of the emission control system. When the OBD system determines that a problem exists somewhere in the emission control system, the malfunction indicator lamp comes on. In this case, your vehicle may not pass the I/M test and need to be repaired. Contact your Toyota dealer to service the vehicle. Even does pass have if the malfunction indicator lamp not come on, your vehicle may not the I/M test as readiness codes not been set in the OBD system. Also, if the malfunction indicator lamp had come on recently due to temporary malfunction such as a loose fuel tank cap, your vehicle may not pass the I/M test. The malfunction indicator lamp will go off after taking several driving trips, but the error code in the OBD system will not be cleared unless about 40 trips or more are taken. If your vehicle does not pass the I/M test even the malfunction indicator lamp does not come on, contact your Toyota dealer to prepare the vehicle for re−testing. Readiness codes are automatically set during ordinary driving. However, when the battery is disconnected or run down, the codes are erased. Also, depending on your driving habits, the codes may not be completely set. 370 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

Pull the dipstick out and look at the oil level while holding a rag under the end. CAUTION Add oil O.K. Too full With the engine at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil level on the dipstick. 1. To get a correct reading, the vehicle should be on level ground. After turning off the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to drain back into the bottom of the engine. 2. Pull the dipstick out, hold a rag under the end and wipe it clean. Be careful not to touch the hot exhaust manifold. NOTICE Be careful not to drop engine oil on the vehicle components. If the oil level is below or only slightly above the low level line, add engine oil of the same type as already in the engine. Remove the oil filler cap and add engine oil in small quantities at a time, checking the dipstick. We recommend that you use a funnel when adding oil. The approximate quantity of oil needed to raise the level between low and full on the dipstick is indicated as follows: 2.4 L 4−cylinder (2AZ−FE) engine 1.1 L (1.2 qt., 1.0 Imp. qt.) 3.5 L V6 (2GR−FE) engine 1.5 L (1.6 qt., 1.3 Imp. qt.) For the engine oil capacity, see “Service specifications” on page 407 in Section 8. When the level reaches within the correct range, install the filler cap hand−tight. NOTICE z Be careful not to spill engine oil on the vehicle components. z Avoid overfilling, or could be damaged. the engine z Check the oil level on the dipstick once again after adding the oil. 380 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) ENGINE OIL SELECTION “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Use Toyota approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy the following grade and viscosity. 3.5 L V6 (2GR−FE) engine SAE 5W−30 Oil grade: ILSAC multigrade engine oil Recommended viscosity: 2.4 L 4−cylinder (2AZ−FE) engine SAE 5W−20 or 0W−20 Outside temperature Oil identification mark SAE 5W−30 is the best choice for good fuel economy and good starting in cold weather. Outside temperature If SAE 5W−30 is not available, SAE 10W−30 may be used. However, it should be replaced with SAE 5W−30 at the next oil change. The ILSAC (International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee) Certification Mark is added to some oil containers to help you select the oil you should use. SAE 5W−20 or 0W−20 engine oil may be used. However, SAE 0W−20 is the best choice for good fuel economy and good starting in cold weather. 381 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Checking the engine coolant level Look at the see−through coolant reservoir when the engine is cold. The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “F” and “L” lines on the reservoir. If the level is low, add the coolant. (For the coolant type, see “Coolant type selection” described below.) The coolant level in the reservoir will vary with engine temperature. However, if the level is on or below the “L” line, add coolant. Bring the level up to the “F” line. To ensure excellent lubrication performance for your engine, “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is available, which has been specifically tested and approved for all Toyota engines. Please contact your Toyota dealer for further details about “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”. If the coolant level drops within a short time after replenishing, there may be a leak in the system. Visually check the radiator, hoses, engine coolant filler cap, radiator cap and drain cock and water pump. If you can find no leak, have your Toyota dealer test the cap pressure and check for leaks in the cooling system. CAUTION To prevent burning yourself, do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Coolant type selection Use of improper coolants may damage your engine cooling system. Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non−silicate, non−amine, non−nitrite, and non−borate coolant with long−life hybrid organic acid technology. (Coolant with long−life hybrid organic acid technology is a combination of low phosphates and organic acids.) For the U.S.A.—“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deionized water. This coolant provides protection down to about −35_C (−31_F). For Canada—“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 55% coolant and 45% deionized water. This coolant provides protection down to about −42_C (−44_F). NOTICE Do not use plain water alone. 382 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Checking the radiator and condenser Checking brake fluid If any of the above parts are extremely dirty or you are not sure of their condition, take your vehicle to a Toyota dealer. CAUTION To prevent burning yourself, be careful not to touch the radiator or condenser when the engine is hot. NOTICE Toyota recommends “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant”, which has been tested to ensure that it will not cause corrosion nor result in malfunction of your engine coolant system with proper usage. “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is formulated with long−life hybrid organic acid technology and has been specifically designed to avoid engine cooling system malfunction on Toyota vehicles. Please contact further details. your Toyota dealer for To prevent damage to the radiator and condenser, do not perform the work by yourself. To check the fluid level, simply look at the see−through reservoir. The level should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the reservoir. It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads wear. So be sure to keep the reservoir filled. If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it may indicate a serious mechanical problem. 383 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Checking power steering fluid If the level is low, add SAE J1703 or FMVSS No.116 DOT 3 brake fluid to the brake reservoir. Remove and replace the reservoir cap by hand. Fill the brake fluid to the dotted line. This brings the fluid to the correct level when you put the cap back on. Use only newly opened brake fluid. Once opened, brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, and excess moisture can cause a dangerous loss of braking. If cold O.K. If hot O.K. Close Open If cold add If hot add CAUTION Take care when filling the reservoir because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes. If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with clean water immediately. If you still feel uncomfortable with your hands or eyes, go to the doctor. NOTICE Check the fluid level through the reservoir. If necessary, add automatic transmission fluid DEXRONrII or III. If the vehicle has been driven around 80 km/h (50 mph) for 20 minutes (a little more in frigid temperatures), the fluid is hot (60_C—80_C or 140_F—175_F). You may also check the level when the fluid is cold (about room temperature, 10_C—30_C or 50_F—85_F) if the engine has not been run for about five hours. Clean all dirt from the outside of the reservoir tank and look at the fluid level. If the fluid is cold, the level should be in the “COLD” range. Similarly, if it is hot, the fluid level should be in the “HOT” range. If the level is at the low side of either range, add automatic transmission fluid DEXRONrII or III to bring the level within the range. To remove the reservoir cap, turn it counterclockwise and lift up. To reinstall it, turn it clockwise. After replacing the reservoir cap, visually check the steering box case, vane pump and hose connections for leaks or damage. CAUTION The reservoir tank may be hot so be careful not to burn yourself. NOTICE Avoid overfilling, or the power steering could be damaged. If you spill some of the fluid, be sure to wipe it off to prevent it from damaging the parts or paintwork. 384 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Checking tire inflation pressure Keep your tire inflation pressures at the proper level. The recommended cold tire inflation pressures, tire sizes and the combined weight of occupants and cargo (vehicle capacity weight) are described on page 406 and 411. They are also on the tire and loading information label. You should check the tire inflation pressure every two weeks, or at least once a month. And do not forget the spare! Type A Type B 385 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) The following instructions for checking tire inflation pressure should be observed: D The pressure should be checked only when the tires are cold. If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours and has not been driven for more than 1.5 km or 1 mile since, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure reading. D Always use a tire pressure gauge. The appearance of a tire can be misleading. Besides, tire inflation pressures that are even just a few pounds off can degrade ride and handling. D Take special care when adding air to the compact spare tire. The smaller tire size can gain pressure very quickly. Add compressed air in small quantities and check the pressure often until it reaches the specified pressure. D Do not bleed or reduce tire inflation pressure after driving. It is normal for the tire inflation pressure to be higher after driving. D Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight. Passenger and luggage weight should be located so that the vehicle is balanced. Tire pressure gauge INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE 1. Remove the tire valve cap. 2. Press the tip of the tire pressure gauge to the tire valve. 3. Read the pressure using the graduations of the gauge. 4. In case the tire inflation pressure is not within the prescribed range, insert the compressed air from the valve. In case of applying too much air, press the center of the valve and release the air to adjust. 386 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) 5. After completing the tire inflation pressure measurement and adjustment, apply soapy water to the valve and check for leakage. 6. Install the tire valve cap. If a gauge and air pump are not available, have your vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer. CAUTION Be sure to reinstall the tire valve caps. Without the valve caps, dirt or moisture could get into the valve core and cause air leakage. If the caps have been lost, have new ones put on as soon as possible. Incorrect tire inflation pressure may waste fuel, reduce the comfort of driving, reduce tire life and make your vehicle less safe to drive. If a tire frequently needs refilling, have it checked by your Toyota dealer. CAUTION Keep your tires properly inflated. Otherwise, the following conditions may occur and cause an accident resulting in death or serious injuries. Low tire pressure (underinflation)— D Excessive wear D Uneven wear D Poor handling D Possibility of blowouts from a overheated tire D Poor sealing of the tire bead D Wheel deformation and/or tire separation D A greater possibility of tire damage from road hazards High tire pressure (overinflation)— D Poor handling D Excessive wear D Uneven wear D A greater possibility of tire damage from road hazards 387 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Checking and replacing tires Tread wear indicator CHECKING YOUR TIRES Check the tire’s tread for tread wear indicators. If the indicators show, replace the tires. The location of tread wear indicators is shown by the “TWI” or “Δ ” marks, etc., molded on the sidewall of each tire. The tires on your Toyota have built−in tread wear indicators to help you know when the tires need replacement. When the tread depth wears to 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) or less, the indicators will appear. If you can see the indicators in two or more adjacent grooves, the tire should be replaced. The lower the tread, the higher the risk of skidding. The effectiveness of snow tires is lost if the tread wears down below 4 mm (0.16 in.). If you have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose the fabric, or bulges indicating internal damage, the tire should be replaced. If a tire often goes flat or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or location of a cut or other damage, it should be replaced. If you are not sure, consult with your Toyota dealer. If air loss occurs while driving, do not continue driving. Driving even a short distance can damage a tire beyond repair. Any tires which are over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if damage is not obvious. Tires deteriorate with age even if they have never or seldom been used. This applies also to the spare tire and tires stored for future use. 388 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) REPLACING YOUR TIRES When replacing a tire, use a tire of the same size and construction, and the same or greater maximum load as the originally installed tires. Using any other size or type of tire may seriously affect handling, ride, speedometer/odometer calibration, ground clearance, and clearance between the body and tires or snow chains. Check that the maximum load of the replaced tire is greater than 1/2 of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of either the front axle or the rear axle, whichever is greater. As for the maximum load of the tire, see the load limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure mentioned on the sidewall of the tire, and as for the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR), see the Certification Label. For details about the side wall of the tire and the Certification Label, see pages 297 and 300. CAUTION Observe the following instructions. Otherwise, an accident may occur resulting in death or serious injuries. D Do not mix radial, bias belted, or bias−ply tires on your vehicle, as this may cause dangerous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control. D Do not use tires other than the manufacturer’s recommended size, as this may cause dangerous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control. Toyota recommends all four tires, or at least both of the front or rear tires be replaced at a time as a set. See “If you have a flat tire” on page 343 in Section 4 for tire change procedure. When a tire is replaced, the wheel should always be balanced. An unbalanced wheel may affect vehicle handling and tire life. Wheels can get out of balance with regular use and should therefore be balanced occasionally. When replacing a tubeless tire, the air valve should also be replaced with a new one. Initial adjustment of the tire pressure warning system is necessary after you have replaced your tires. See “Tire pressure warning system” on page 174 in Section 1−7. 389 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Rotating tires With a spare tire of the same wheel type as the installed tires With a spare tire of different wheel type from the installed tires To equalize the wear and help extend tire life, Toyota recommends that you rotate your tires according to the maintenance schedule. (For scheduled maintenance information, please refer to the “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.) However, the most appropriate timing for tire rotation may vary according to your driving habits and road surface conditions. See “If you have a flat tire” on page 343 in Section 4 for tire change procedure. When rotating tires, check for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect tire pressure, improper wheel alignment, out− of−balance wheels, or severe braking. 390 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Installing snow tires and chains Initial adjustment of the tire pressure warning system is necessary after you have rotated your tires. See “Tire pressure warning system” on page 174 in Section 1−7. CAUTION Do not include a compact spare tire when rotating the tires. It is designed for temporary use only. WHEN TO CHAINS USE SNOW TIRES OR Snow tires or chains are recommended when driving on snow or ice. On wet or dry roads, conventional tires provide better traction than snow tires. SNOW TIRE SELECTION If you need snow tires, select tires of the same size, construction and load capacity as the originally installed tires. Do not use tires other than those mentioned above. Do not install studded tires without first checking local regulations for possible restrictions. CAUTION Do not use snow tires other than the manufacturer’s recommended size, as this may cause dangerous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control. Otherwise, an accident may occur resulting in death or serious injuries. SNOW TIRE INSTALLATION Snow tires should be installed on all wheels. Installing snow tires on the front wheels only can lead to an excessive difference in road grip capability between the front and rear tires which could cause loss of vehicle control. When storing removed tires you should store them in a cool dry place. Mark the direction of rotation and be sure to install them in the same direction when replacing. CAUTION D Do not drive with the snow tires incorrectly inflated. D Never drive over 120 km/h (75 mph) with any type of snow tires. TIRE CHAIN SELECTION Use the tire chains of correct size. 391 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Side chain Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary according to location or type of road, so always check local regulations before installing chains. NOTICE Cross chain Use the following type chains. A B C D E F Diameter of side chain Width of side chain Length of side chain Diameter of cross chain Width of cross chain Length of cross chain mm (in.) 3 (0.12) 10 (0.39) 30 (1.18) 4 (0.16) 14 (0.55) 25 (0.98) If the wrong combination of tire and chain is used, the chains could damage the vehicle body. CAUTION D Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) or the chain manufacturer’s recommended speed limit, whichever is lower. D Drive carefully avoiding bumps, holes, and sharp turns, which may cause the vehicle to bounce. CHAIN INSTALLATION D Avoid sharp turns or locked−wheel Install the chains on the front tires as tightly as possible. Do not use tire chains on the rear tires. Retighten chains after driving 0.5—1.0 km (1/4—1/2 mile). D When driving with chains installed, When installing chains on your tires, carefully follow the instructions of the chain manufacturer. If wheel covers are used, they will be scratched by the chain band, so remove the covers before putting on the chains. braking, as use of chains may adversely affect vehicle handling. be sure to drive carefully. Slow down before entering curves to avoid losing control of the vehicle. Otherwise an accident may occur. NOTICE Do not attempt to use a tire chain on the compact spare tire, as it may result in damage to the vehicle as well as the tire. 392 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Replacing wheels WHEN TO REPLACE YOUR WHEELS If you have wheel damage such as bending, cracks or heavy corrosion, the wheel should be replaced. If you fail to replace a damaged wheel, the tire may slip off the wheel or cause loss of handling control. WHEEL SELECTION When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that the wheels are replaced by ones with the same load capacity, diameter, rim width, and offset. Correct replacement wheels are available at your Toyota dealer. A wheel of a different size or type may adversely affect handling, wheel and bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer/odometer calibration, stopping ability, headlight aim, bumper height, vehicle ground clearance, and tire or snow chain clearance to the body and chassis. Replacement with used wheels is not recommended as they may have been subjected to rough treatment or high mileage and could fail without warning. Also, bent wheels which have been straightened may have structural damage and therefore should not be used. Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a tubeless tire. CAUTION Do not use wheels other than the manufacturer’s recommended size, as this may cause dangerous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control. Otherwise, an accident may occur resulting in death or serious injuries. Initial adjustment of the tire pressure warning system is necessary after you have replaced your wheels. See “Tire pressure warning system” on page 174 in Section 1−7. Aluminum wheel precautions D When installing aluminum wheels, check that the wheel nuts are tight after driving your vehicle the first 1600 km (1000 miles). D If you have changed your wheel nuts are 1600 km (1000 rotated, repaired, or tires, check that the still tight after driving miles). D When using tire chains, be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels. D Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrench designed for your aluminum wheels. D When balancing your wheels, use only Toyota balance weights or equivalent and a plastic or rubber hammer. D As with any wheel, periodically check your aluminum wheels for damage. If damaged, replace immediately. 393 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) 394 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

(OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Adding washer fluid Type A fuses can be pulled out by the pull−out tool. The location of the pull−out tool is shown in the illustration. If you are not sure whether the fuse has blown, try replacing the suspected fuse with one that you know is good. If the fuse has blown, push a new fuse into the clip. Only install a fuse with the amperage rating designated on the fuse box lid. If you do not have a spare fuse, in an emergency you can pull out the “MIR HTR” or “PWR OUTLET” fuse, which may be dispensable for normal driving, and use it if its amperage rating is the same. If you cannot use one of the same amperage, use one that is lower, but as close to the rating as possible. If the amperage is lower than that specified, the fuse might blow out again but this does not indicate anything wrong. Be sure to get the correct fuse as soon as possible and return the substitute to its original clip. If the new fuse immediately blows out, there is a problem with the electrical system. Have your Toyota dealer correct it as soon as possible. CAUTION Never use a fuse with a higher amperage rating, or any other object, in place of a fuse. This may cause extensive damage and possibly a fire. If any washer does windshield washer light comes on, the empty. Add washer not work or the low fluid level warning washer tank may be fluid. You may use plain water as washer fluid. However, in cold areas where temperatures range below the freezing point, use washer fluid containing antifreeze. This product is available at your Toyota dealer and most auto parts stores. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for how much to mix with water. NOTICE Do not use engine antifreeze or any other substitute because it may damage your vehicle’s paint. It is a good idea to purchase a set of spare fuses and keep them in your vehicle for emergencies. 399 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Replacing light bulbs— The following illustrations show how to gain access to the bulbs. When replacing a bulb, make sure the ignition switch and light switch are off. Use bulbs with the wattage ratings given in the table. The high mounted stoplight consists of a number of LEDs. If any of the LEDs burn out, take your vehicle to your Toyota dealer to have the light replaced. CAUTION D To prevent burning yourself, do not replace the light bulbs while they are hot. D Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and require special handling. They can burst or shatter if scratched or dropped. Hold a bulb only by its plastic or metal case. Do not touch the glass part of a bulb with bare hands. NOTICE Only use a bulb of the listed type. The inside of the lens of exterior lights such as headlights may temporarily fog up when the lens becomes wet in the rain or in a car wash. This is not a problem because the fogging is caused by the temperature difference between the outside and inside of the lens, just like the windshield fogs up in the rain. However, if there is a large drop of water on the inside of the lens, or if there is water pooled inside the light, contact your Toyota dealer.

You must follow these warnings carefully to avoid possible injury or damage. The types of warnings, what they look like, and how they are used in this manual are explained as follows: CAUTION This is a injury to informed order to others. warning against anything which may cause people if the warning is ignored. You are about what you must or must not do in reduce the risk of injury to yourself and When you see the safety symbol shown above, it means: “Do not...”; “Do not do this”; or “Do not let this happen”. NOTICE This is a warning against anything which may cause damage to the vehicle or its equipment if the warning is ignored. You are informed about what you must or must not do in order to avoid or reduce the risk of damage to your vehicle and its equipment. ii 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Important information about your Toyota Occupant restraint systems The purpose of all occupant restraint systems is to help reduce the possibility of death or serious injury in the event of a collision. None of these systems, either individually or together, can ensure that there is no injury in the event of collision. However, the more you know about these systems and how to use them properly, the greater your chances become of surviving an accident without death or serious injury. Toyota encourages you and your family to take the time to read Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual carefully. In terms of helping you understand how you can receive the maximum benefit of the occupant restraint systems this vehicle provides, Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual is the most important Section for you and your family to read. Seat belts provide the primary restraint to all occupants of the vehicle, and every occupant of the vehicle should wear seat belts properly at all times. Children should always be secured in child restraint systems that are appropriate for their age and size. SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbags are, as their names imply, designed to work with, and be supplemental to, seat belts and are not substitutes for them. SRS airbags can be very effective in reducing the risk of head, chest and knee injuries by preventing contact of the head, chest and knee with interior portions of the vehicle. Section 1−3 describes the function and operation concerning seats, seat belts, SRS airbags and child restraint systems of this vehicle and some potential hazards you should be aware of. These systems work together along with the overall structure of this vehicle in order to provide occupant restraint in the event of a crash. The effect of each system is enhanced when it is used properly and together with other systems. No single occupant restraint system can, by itself, provide you or your family with the equal level of restraint which these systems can provide when used together. That is why it is important for you and your family to understand the purpose and proper use of each of these systems and how they relate to each other. iii 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Event data recorder In order to be effective, the SRS airbags must deploy with tremendous speed. The rapid deployment of the SRS airbags makes the SRS airbags themselves potential sources of death or serious injury if an occupant is too close to an airbag, or if an object or some part of his or her body has been placed between the occupant and the airbag at the time of deployment. This is just one example of how the instructions in Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual will help ensure proper use of the occupant restraint systems, and increase the safety they can provide to you and your family in the event of an accident. Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control certain aspects of your vehicle. These computers assist in driving and maintaining optimal vehicle performance. Besides storing data useful for troubleshooting, there is a system to record data in a crash or a near car crash event. This is called an Event Data Recorder (EDR). The SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR. In a crash or a near car crash event, this device may record some or all of the following information: Toyota recommends you to read the provisions in Section 1−3 carefully and refer to them as needed during your time of ownership of this vehicle. D Engine speed D Whether the brake pedal was applied or not D Vehicle speed D To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed D Position of the transmission selector lever D Whether the driver and front passenger wore the seat belts or not D Driver’s seat position D Front passenger’s occupant classification iv 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) D SRS airbag deployment data Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party except when: D SRS airbag system diagnostic data D An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the leasing company for a leased vehicle) is obtained If your vehicle is equipped with a vehicle stability control (VSC) system, its Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may contain another EDR. There are a variety of driving situations which include activating the VSC under which the VSC EDR will record certain information. The VSC EDR may record some or all of the following information: D Officially requested by the police or other authorities D Used as a defense for Toyota in a law suit D Ordered by the court However, if necessary Toyota will: D Behavior of the vehicle D Use the data for research on Toyota vehicle safety performance D Steering wheel angle D Vehicle speed D Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without disclosing details of the vehicle owner, and only when it is deemed necessary D To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed D To what extent the brake pedal was applied D Disclose summarized data cleared of vehicle identification information to a non−Toyota organization for research purposes D To what extent the ECU controlled the condition of the 4 wheels D Vehicle stability control system diagnostic data The information above is intended to be used for the purpose of improving vehicle safety performance. Unlike general data recorders, the EDR does not record sound data such as conversation between passengers. v 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.

In addition, damage or performance problems resulting from the modification may not be covered under warranty. Smart key system Users of any electrical medical devices such as implanted pacemakers should consult the manufacturer of the device for information about its operation under the influence of radio waves. Radio waves could have unexpected effects on the operation of such medical devices. For details, see “Keys” on page 16 in Section 1−2. Spark ignition system of your Toyota The spark ignition system in your Toyota meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference−Causing Equipment Standard. vii 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U) ’07Camry_U (L/O 0608) Tires and loading on your Toyota Scrapping of your Toyota Underinflated or overinflated tire pressure and the excess load may result in the deterioration of steering ability and braking ability, leading to an accident. Check the tire inflation pressure periodically and be sure to keep the load limits given in this Owner’s Manual. For details about tire inflation pressure and load limits, see pages 385 and 310. The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by the qualified service shop or by your Toyota dealer before you dispose of your vehicle. Leak detection pump Perchlorate Material Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate. This pump performs fuel evaporation leakage check. This check is done approximately five hours after the engine is turned off. So you may hear sound coming from underneath the luggage compartment for several minutes. It does not indicate a malfunction. Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These components may include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote control batteries. viii 2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod.
