Toyota Camry trunk dimensions. What is the trunk volume of a Toyota Camry?

In the top-end “Luxe” configuration it will be slightly smaller – 504 liters. In 2009, the Camry 40 version was slightly modified, i.e. there was a restyling, but this did not affect the size of the trunk in any way. It remained the same size as it was.

The trunk dimensions of the Camry are as follows: the width at the very edge inside is 1640 mm, the bottom width between the wheel arches is 980 mm, the depth from the threshold to the seats is 980 mm.

Simple, strict style

The design of the car looks simple, Toyota has never been an innovator in the field of appearance, competitors are more beautiful. There are narrow headlights, directed downwards, equipped with halogen or xenon lamps. The rounded shapes of the Camry's hood flow like lines towards the strict radiator grille, which in the restyling is covered with chrome.

The bumper is equipped with optics washers and fog lights recessed at the bottom. Restyling brought a slightly different bumper with PTF in a chrome trim.

On the side there are powerful massive forms with a slight swelling of the arches. The business-class image is supported by chrome window surrounds and a straight line leading to the rear lights. The rear lights are identical in shape to the front ones. The trunk lid has a raised shape, creating a powerful image together with the massive bumper.

It was the concentration of design on rigor that pleased officials, who are the main consumers of the model. The car looks simple, but is relatively luxurious.

The dimensions of the sedan have grown:

length – 4815 mm;
width – 1820 mm;
height – 1480 mm;
wheelbase – 2775 mm;
ground clearance - 160 mm.

Replacing the rear cable Camry 40

To replace the rear cable, the car owner needs to use the instructions given below.

Check the brake position when released.
Unscrew the locknut and loosen the cable tensioner adjusting nut.
Dismantle the floor tunnel lining.
Unscrew the fastening bolts and remove the floor reinforcement.
Pull out the end of the rear cables and remove the cable sheath clamps.
Disconnect the cables from the rear pads.
Remove the cables from the brake shields.
Remove the bolts securing the front cable holders.
Disconnect the remaining holders in the same way.
Remove the cable.
Replace with a new one and install everything in the reverse order.

Adjust the parking brake cable.

Hi all! )))) There was still no time to work on the handbrake, and he no longer held it very well, the lever already had to be pulled to the “Into space” position)))) But he looked like “Sit on me, then stand up, and then again sit down))))) I decided to look for how to tighten it, I found a video (available in the BZ) but this is for a “scissor”, so I wondered: is it the same on the handbrake? I decided to check it myself + some of my subscribers were also interested.

So, tightening the handbrake using the all-known method, namely tightening the handbrake cable, is not the same because there is no adjusting nut under the car, it is located in the central tunnel and is covered with a pile of plastic.

1) Remove the wheel

By the way, I installed spacers for casting2) We take out the rubber plug, you will immediately see it, it is located on the brake disc body3) Now we set the inspection hole to the lowest point and find (using a flashlight) the adjusting gear

The photo shows a little bit of the gear itself.

But here’s a closer look 4) Now, in fact, the process of applying the parking brake pads. Use a flat screwdriver to get between the teeth of the gear and scroll it up, you will hear the characteristic sound of a spring, then check again by rotating the disk, you should hear the sound of the pads slightly rubbing, but don't overdo it! If you accidentally overtighten, simply push the gear back to release the pads. Repeat the operation on the opposite wheel, try to position the pads evenly and symmetrically to avoid any difference in grip

I checked it like this until I couldn’t turn the disk on the third click of the handbrake, but when I released it the disk rotated freely, with a slight catch on the pads, now the handbrake holds with a bang))) Everything turned out to be simpler than I thought))) Everyone thank you for your attention)))) Mileage: 172,000 km. The handbrake is used on the Camry 40 both with an automatic transmission and if a manual transmission is installed

It allows the car owner to stop on slopes and other road irregularities

The hand brake is used on the Camry 40 both with an automatic transmission and if a manual transmission is installed. It allows the car owner to stop on slopes and other uneven roads.

In this case, it is also impossible to move away without using the handbrake. It helps the car not to roll back, which prevents the car from getting into an accident.

Replacing the front hand brake cable of a Camry 40

It is recommended to change the cable in cases of severe stretching or mechanical damage. To replace it, you must use the instructions below.

Disassemble the console, gaining access to the handbrake cable.
Secure the threaded end with a wrench. After this, you need to disconnect the tension coupling. This operation will release the cable.
Remove the cable clamp from the turnbuckle side.
Unscrew the locknut and adjusting nut.
Disconnect the front cable from the handbrake lever.
Remove the holder mount
Remove the cable from the car.
Replace the cable with a new one and install the parts in the reverse order.
Adjust the hand brake drive.

Electric trunk opening

On some models, this function is already provided at the factory, but there will certainly be car enthusiasts who would like to install such a system on their Toyota Camry themselves.

The automatic trunk opening system includes the following components:

electric drive;
two four-pin relays;
push rod;
system fuse;
control buttons;
control circuit.

Trunk Camry XV40
The drive can be made in two versions: using magnetic plates, or using an electric motor (this type of drive is considered more practical in terms of durability)

It is also worth paying attention to the way the system is controlled: using a button in the car or using a remote control

When choosing control from the interior button, installation is quite easy to do yourself. In the second case, we advise you to entrust the work to professional auto electricians.

Myth No. 1. The popularity of Camry is greatly exaggerated

Obviously, such gossip is spread by Toyota's competitors, who were never able to defeat Camry in a head-to-head duel. Toyota's flagship sedan is sometimes blamed for its low, almost non-existent popularity in Europe, that is, in a market that is considered the toughest in terms of competition in the world. Toyota Camry is really almost not sold in Europe. But this is more of a problem in Europe, where sales of all large sedans from non-premium brands, not just Camry, are trending toward zero. But in the rest of the world, there are hardly any queues for a big Toyota.

In the States, for example, the Camry has not only remained the best-selling passenger car for several generations, but also competes for the title of the most popular car with the Ford F-Series pickup truck. The honorary title of king of the mountain passes from one to the other. Nobody got close to these two. Camry has excellent sales in China, the world's largest automobile market. In Australia, this sedan is an absolute bestseller. Everything is fine with Camry in Russia. For over ten years, Camry has consistently ranked first in business class sales.

Used Toyota Camry XV40: corrosion, interior wear, electrical glitches

Camry is consistently a stable leader in the “non-premium business class” segment, but also in price. Used copies are sometimes priced higher than the German premium of the same years. Motorists in Russia love Toyota. Is it deserved?

Camry: origin of the species

In the mid-90s, only class E cars were considered B business class, but by the beginning of the 2000s, the classification had lost its way. There are simply no “non-premium” cars of this class left, but the D-class has grown in size so much that at first it was called D+, and then it turned out that it is most convenient to call this class of cars “mid-size or business class,” by analogy with the American classification . So everyone understands what we are talking about.

In Russia, large, but not particularly “premium” cars were bought for personal use, for corporate fleets, and for the needs of middle and senior officials. Today we will talk about a car that for a long time became the face of the class and the best-selling car among its kind in Russia for many years - the Toyota Camry in its sixth generation, that is, in the back of the XV 40.

Pictured: Toyota Camry (XV40) '2006–11

The model was produced from 2006 to 2011, and for us it is interesting because its success forced Toyota to open production near St. Petersburg. According to the current localization standards, this is a “domestic” car, which is clearly visible from all kinds of government purchases and the abundance of these sedans at various federal buildings.

Largest trunk volume

Toyota Camry cars produced in the 80-90s had the largest luggage compartments. last century for the domestic market and the countries of Oceania. In addition to the classic sedan, station wagons with a lifting rear door were offered.

With the rear seats folded and the shelf removed, the capacity exceeded 800 liters, which made it possible to transport large items (for example, a motorcycle or household appliances packed in factory containers). After the discontinuation of station wagons, the capacity of the luggage compartments does not exceed 535 liters and depends on the generation.

On a Russian Toyota

Several generations of cars were produced at the plant in the Leningrad region:

At the end of 2007, assembly of the XV40 generation, equipped with a sedan body, began. On cars with a 2.4 liter engine, a rear sofa with a folding backrest without adjustment mechanisms was used. The cargo compartment capacity was 535 liters. When using a 3.5 liter engine (Luxe modification), electrical adjustment of the backrest position was used by default; additional drives reduced the compartment capacity to 504 liters. The restyling carried out in 2009 changed the model index to V45, but did not affect the interior layout.
In 2011, assembly of the XV50 generation with a new sedan body began. The luggage compartment capacity on the basic versions (with 2.0 and 2.4 liter engines) was reduced to 506 liters. When installing an electric drive for the rear seat (offered only with the 3.5 liter engine), the capacity of the cargo compartment was reduced to 483 liters. After the modernization, the model code changed to XV55, but the body remained unchanged.
The XV70 generation presented in 2021 with changed dimensions and sedan body shape has a luggage compartment with a capacity of 493 liters. On expensive versions with a 3.5 liter engine, the manufacturer uses the rear row of seats with electric adjustment drives, which reduces the volume of the luggage compartment to 469 liters.

On the Japanese modification

The following generations of cars were sold in Japan:

The V10, produced until 1986, was equipped with a sedan body. The stated volume of the luggage compartment was 385 liters. There was no mechanism for folding the backrest: the owner could transport long objects only after removing the seat.
The V20 series featured a modernized body. The trunk capacity was about 400 liters, but there was a mechanism for folding the back of the sofa in a 60:40 ratio. The capacity of the luggage compartment did not depend on the type of drive; the gearbox and driveshaft required the use of a modified fuel tank with an unchanged body base.
On the Japanese market in the early and mid-90s. modifications of the Camry XV10 and XV20 were produced with the original sedan body, having a luggage compartment with a capacity of 517 and 520 liters, respectively (the back of the rear sofa folded out).
Since 2001, production of the XV30 generation began, which did not have a gradation by body type depending on the sales market. The capacity of the cargo compartment is 587 liters; to increase the useful volume, you need to fold the back of the sofa for passengers.
Versions XV40 and XV50, built on a global platform, did not differ from their Russian counterparts. Some cars came from the factory with a compact spare wheel, which made it possible to increase the trunk volume by 25-30 liters.
Since 2021, XV70 modification machines have been offered on the Japanese market. Instead of a full-fledged spare wheel, a stowage unit is used, which allows you to lower the floor of the luggage compartment and increase the useful capacity to 524 liters. The installation of electric drives for adjusting the position of the rear row of seats is provided (in this case the parameter is reduced to 480 l).

Eastern cars

On cars for Eastern countries, trunk volume depends on the generation and body type. Toyota began exporting cars starting with the XV30 generation. The bodies do not differ from their European or Japanese counterparts, which determines the identical volume of luggage compartments. A modification of the Toyota Camry Conquest Wagon with a station wagon body was supplied in small quantities: the capacity of the luggage compartment with the seats folded exceeds 1200 liters, and with the backrest normally installed, the parameter does not exceed 500 liters.

By car USA

In the USA, the original EPA methodology is used to estimate the useful volume of the cargo compartment. The results obtained differ to a lesser extent (compared to measurements in accordance with Russian, European or Japanese standards).

Luggage compartment capacity for American cars:

XV40 - 425 or 300 l;
XV50 - 436 or 371 l;
XV70 - 399 l.

Trunk of Toyota Camry

The trunk of the Toyota Camry V40 can be of two sizes.
It depends on the configuration of the car. For example, the Toyota Camry in the “Comfort”, “Elegance” and “Prestige” trim levels has a trunk volume of 535 liters. In the top-end “Luxe” configuration it will be slightly smaller – 504 liters. In 2009, the Camry 40 version was slightly modified, i.e. there was a restyling, but this did not affect the size of the trunk in any way. It remained the same size as it was.

Features of USB adapters for

It is not convenient to constantly record music and audio books for listening in the car onto discs. It’s easier to use a flash drive and a phone, but the native multimedia system of the Camry V40 does not have such functions, so car enthusiasts install USB adapters.

Advantages of installing an MP3 adapter in Toyota Camry V40:

You can do the installation work yourself
the cost of the device is not high
Steering wheel music control is retained
The CD changer continues to operate normally.

To install the USB adapter, you need to disassemble the head unit, this process is described above. Next, the MP3 adapter is pinned out, the cord is inserted into the plug of the CD changer at the back, be careful into the 12-pin connector (6+6). The adapter can be hidden behind the stock head unit.

It is best to pull the USB and AUX cords into the glove compartment to the farthest hole because the glove box guides move closer to it. To use a USB flash drive (flash drive) in a car, you need to format it in FAT32, create folders CD1, CD2, etc. and record music in MP3, WMA, AAC format. (The number of CD... folders that will be played depends only on the head unit and how many disks it is designed for). Jumping between the standard head unit and the adapter occurs after pressing the “DISC” button. Switching folders on a flash drive is similar to switching disks in a CD changer.

Pros of using an MP3 USB adapter:

ability to play a large number of songs,
Each folder can store up to 100 tracks,
the last played song is saved,
when started, the song plays from the moment at which it was interrupted,
AUX allows you to play audio files from any device with a headphone jack.

Preparing the car for tuning

When preparing the machine for modification, you should perform the following steps:

It is not recommended to drive the car into a closed garage equipped with a lift or inspection hole; it is not recommended to carry out repairs on the street.
Unscrew the screws securing the mudguard under the bumper.
Remove the mounting clips located in the front wheel arches.
Bend the fender liner away from the plastic shell, and then unscrew the bolts holding the corners of the decorative element to the body.
Remove the plastic clips and unscrew the bolts located under the hood of the car.
Move the side edges of the bumper to the sides, moving the latches out of the guide grooves in the brackets.
Gently pull the plastic shell towards you, unfastening the additional latches one by one.
Lay the structure on the floor of the garage, and then disconnect the plugs of the electrical wiring routed to the fog lights and parking assistant sensors (this option is not available on all cars).
If you plan to remove the headlights, you will need to unscrew the side bolts and 2 screws of the top mounting.
Pull the lighting device out of the mounting socket and disconnect the wiring harnesses one by one (for low and high beam lamps, side lights, direction indicators and electric installation angle corrector).
Clean the radiators of the cooling and air conditioning system from dirt. It is prohibited to use pressure washing, since the flow of water crushes the honeycombs, which leads to a deterioration in heat transfer.

Basic elements of a car suspension

Any pendant consists of several basic elements:

Tires. This is the first stage in the system for smoothing out uneven road surfaces. Having a certain degree of elasticity, the tire is able to dampen a small amount of vibrations that occur during movement. If there are malfunctions in the tire suspension, the wheels can act as an indicator of a malfunction, since the service life of the tire in such a situation is quickly reduced and uneven wear occurs.

Basic elastic elements. The elastic elements of a car suspension include springs, leaf springs and torsion bars. The purpose of these elements is to provide an elastic connection between the body and the road surface. The entire load of the car falls on the springs, and due to their elasticity, the body is held at a certain height. During operation and heavy overloads, the metal of the elastic elements wears out, causing their rigidity to change. Such changes negatively affect the performance of the suspension as a whole. The angle of the wheels changes, the ground clearance decreases, and the load capacity decreases. Body sagging when unloaded is the main signal that the springs need to be replaced.

Additional elastic elements. Additional elastic elements include compression buffers; their use is necessary to dampen high-frequency vibrations, as well as vibrations generated during the contact of metal elements. Thanks to the presence of such elastic elements, the service life of other suspension components is significantly increased.

It is extremely important to monitor their good condition and promptly replace worn parts.

Guiding devices. The main task of the guide devices is to ensure the movement of the wheel in the established plane. Thanks to a system of levers, when moving on an uneven surface, the wheel moves in a vertical direction, while maintaining a perpendicular position relative to the road surface

Any violations in the guide elements will lead to rapid and uneven wear of the wheel tire, as well as other suspension elements.

Damping element. The element of the damping device is a shock absorber. The use of shock absorbers in the suspension system allows you to solve problems such as body vibration when driving on uneven roads, as well as smoothing out vibrations on other elements of the vehicle's suspension. Thanks to the damping function, constant contact of the wheel with the road is ensured, the car becomes more stable when driving.

Anti-roll bar. When turning at speed, the anti-roll bar prevents the vehicle from rolling. When performing a turning maneuver, the wheels on one side of the vehicle begin to lift off the road, which can cause the vehicle to roll over. At this moment, tension is created on the stabilizer, which tends to return the rising edge of the car to its place.

Fastening elements for individual parts. Fastening elements include ball joints, silent blocks and bolted joints that connect the remaining elements of the vehicle's suspension.

A little theory

One of the main characteristics of a car's suspension is its ground clearance, or the distance from the road surface to the lowest point of the car. The main factor influencing its size is the height of the suspension. It can be easily changed both up and down. By increasing it, you can raise the car above the ground, by decreasing it, you can lower it, but at the same time the Camry’s handling will increase several times, which will become especially noticeable when cornering at high speed. And you also need to take into account that if you raise the Toyota Camry’s ground clearance by only 5 cm, the car’s handling at high speeds will significantly decrease.

The amount of ground clearance also depends on the specific Camry model.

There are several ways to raise a Camry to 30, 40 or 50:

Install extended springs. But you should immediately be prepared to replace the shock absorbers, since their working stroke will move to the upper part. In addition, if the car gets into deep holes, the standard shock absorbers will begin to “pop”, since their working stroke will be shorter than the spring stroke.
Install springs with increased stiffness - they will not bend under the weight of the car. This method can increase the car's ground clearance by up to 5 cm. But this will negatively affect the comfort in the car - small road irregularities will no longer be handled so effectively by the suspension, which will make a long trip by car not so pleasant.
Install the screw suspension kit. A set of 4 “charged” struts (springs + shock absorbers) will cost Camry owners about 40–60 thousand rubles. The peculiarity of the suspension is the possibility of its adjustment: by rotating the rack with a special key, you can raise and lower the car. The only drawback of this method is the inability to automatically raise and lower the body.
Install a set of air springs. In a similar way, you can raise a Camry in 40 and 50 body styles - there are many offers on the market for installing air suspension on this model range.
Install special spacers. Typically, they are made of rigid polyurethane and are mounted between the strut support and the body. The thickness of such a spacer determines how much the car can be raised. This method is accessible and low cost - the average price of a set of spacers for 2 racks for a Camry is set at 800–1000 rubles. But it should be taken into account that in order to attach the strut supports to the body, you will also have to purchase extended studs.

But the easiest way to raise the car body is to install tires with a higher profile. Or you can completely replace the wheels by installing wheels and tires of increased diameter. This will allow you to increase the ground clearance by 1–3 cm, which is often more than enough for confident driving in the city. For most car owners, this is the easiest way to raise the car, since installing Barnaul springs on it makes the suspension too stiff.

Important! Before you raise the Camry Grace by replacing tires, you should carefully select its size. Otherwise, you will need to “roll” the arches

Low ground clearance

The changed body kit, namely the front bumper, led to a decrease in ground clearance. When measured at the very bottom edge of the bumper, the result is 200 millimeters, which is a centimeter lower than the previous generation Camry. According to the body, the ground clearance of the Toyota Camry at the lowest point is 155 millimeters.

What does this mean in practice? The vehicle is intended to be driven only on good asphalt roads. When driving on unpaved surfaces, due to the long wheelbase, the Camry will catch bumps with its bottom due to the increased wheelbase.

At the same time, if you compare the ground clearance of the Toyota Camry with models produced for the American or European market, you will notice that these figures are even lower, usually by 1-2 centimeters. In this case, the manufacturer uses another trick, measuring this distance on an empty car. In reality, a sedan with a driver and standard cargo in the trunk will drop even lower, especially if you travel with passengers in the cabin. The springs will invariably sag, lowering the car to the ground. And this will significantly complicate the operation of the car. Indeed, in urban conditions, when parking at the curb, every centimeter is important.

Installation of aerodynamic body kits

Tuning a Toyota Camry is a rather complex process, and its implementation can only be entrusted to professionals in specialized services. But in our country there are many villages and small towns where such services are not provided, so in such a case these tips will come in handy:

Most often, original products from Japan, Germany, Korea or other countries fit exactly in shape and fasteners, but still, before painting, check that the fasteners and sizes of all parts of the kit match. Sometimes you have to trim to get a perfect match.
During long-term storage and improper transportation of tuning kits for Camry, the geometry of individual parts changes, and during installation, gaps appear or, conversely, part of the kit does not fit into its place. For precise installation, evenly heat the maximum contact area to a temperature of 60°C - the fiberglass will become elastic and take the desired shape. For direct installation in such cases, use a hairdryer to heat the area.
If you find damage in the form of bubbles or gouges on the outside of the kit part for Toyota Camry, you need to remove these irregularities using ordinary automotive putty.
When drying parts after painting, the temperature should be kept within thirty-five degrees. A proven method for drying body kits for Camry 50, 40 and 30 is to increase the drying time at normal room temperature.
If it is not possible to immediately install the body kit on the car, choose a dry room and install the part in the position in which it should be on the car.
Thresholds are usually installed after painting and fitting using automotive glass sealant. Before this, they are degreased, a layer of sealant is applied, after which they need to be fixed for several hours. Another method is used extremely rarely, because self-tapping screws spoil the aesthetics and surface of the body.

Tuning for the subsequent Toyota Camry 30 is still popular, as is the 30th model itself. Bumper covers together cost 6 thousand rubles, the price of thresholds for Camry 30 is five and a half thousand rubles.

The body kit for Camry 40 will cost the buyer 11 thousand rubles. – it consists of sills and trims for both bumpers. The purchase of a spoiler for the trunk lid is not included in this amount - it is estimated at three and a half thousand rubles.

The price of body kits for the Camry 50 and 55 models is an order of magnitude higher - the skirts of two bumpers together with the door sills cost 89,500 rubles, another set from the Japanese manufacturer Asuka Japan, consisting of a front bumper along with a radiator grille, a hood trim and a rear bumper skirt, is estimated at 180 thousand rubles. Look at the photo how beautiful the painted and correctly installed front bumper on a Toyota Camry v 50 looks.

Car reviews

Yuri S., Krasnoyarsk

: Camry 2011, still running, I’ve been using it for seven years. Overall, the car is good, balanced, although the seating position is a little high compared to older Japanese sedans. When I switched to it from a Corolla, I felt like I was using an SUV. Especially when the seat is in the up position. But the ground clearance turned out to be normal, if you drive around the city, I don’t catch anything even in winter. The chassis, however, is tough on potholes, but it’s comfortable to drive on a dirt road even at 100 km/h. By the way, 100 is just the most normal speed for the 40th Camry. The only noticeable drawback is poor visibility from the interior.

Sergey N., Novosibirsk

: I had a 2009 Camry for 6 years. With a 2.4-liter engine and automatic transmission. A nice, spacious car with a huge trunk for a sedan. An easy-to-maintain car with conveniently located controls. The cabin is warm even in severe frosts. The rear backrests can be folded down to accommodate more cargo. The suspension is very reliable; it had to be repaired no earlier than after 200,000-250,000 km. The suspension is soft, the gearbox is reliable - the main thing is not to forget to change the filter and oil on time. But I think the engine is not entirely successful due to high oil consumption. Sometimes it came out to 400 g per 1000 km.

Konstantin B., Orel

: From 2007 to 2010 I used a Camry XV 40, I drove more than 200 thousand km on it. In short - an almost indestructible model. I haven’t ridden it anywhere, except perhaps off-road. I changed almost nothing except consumables. Yes, and without major repairs. Well, maybe I repaired the gearbox at 120 thousand km. And still, in terms of reliability and quality, I have never had a better car.

Toyota Camry XV50

This is the eighth generation of the famous sedan. Production of this modification began in 2011. The purpose of releasing this model was to relaunch the legendary model in the fortieth body. Designers and engineers did not want to radically change a product that was loved by consumers on the market, so the changes were quite minor: the weakest points were corrected, but the reliability and layout of the components were preserved, the base underwent virtually no changes to ensure the same smoothness and stability on the roads.

Camry XV50 parameters:

length – 4825mm,
width – 1825mm,
height – 1480mm.

The power unit had 3 modifications: 2L, 2.5L, 3.5L, which was paired with a 4 or 6-speed automatic transmission.

Toyota Camry XV40

XV40 is the seventh generation of business sedan from the Japanese manufacturer. The model has been produced since 2006; the car was restyled in 2009. The car can be called legendary, and there will be no exaggeration in this. At the moment, you can still see a large number of cars of this series on the roads. This is explained by the reliability of the power units, body strength, and good suspension, which made the car a profitable option not only for ordinary buyers, but also for a large number of fleets. The sedan belongs to the so-called business class. The car interior is spacious, comfortable, well suited for a small family. A large trunk and good equipment, even for those times, make this model popular in the secondary market.

Dimensions of Toyota Camry XV40:

length – 4815mm,
width – 1820mm,
height 1480mm.

The car was equipped with a 2.4 liter engine. A 3.5 liter power unit was available in the Luxe version. The transmission was equipped with a manual and automatic gearbox, depending on the configuration.

Toyota Camry rear seat removal

You need to pull sharply and strongly.
Removing the second row of seats using the same algorithm on all model lines of the Japanese concern would be a big mistake. After all, even between generations of Toyota there are differences in design and technical solutions, so it is better to clarify how to properly remove the rear seat of a Camry 40.

For the car in the fortieth body, they used a different design of the lower frame on the back, and they also have a different cable arrangement. The fastening parts are also screwed much deeper, which complicates their dismantling.

Folded rear row of Camry 50

You will first need to empty the luggage compartment to remove the floor covering. If there are armrests and a mechanism that regulates the angle of the backrest, they must also be removed first. To do this, simply unscrew the fixing bolts. All seat belt attachments are removed in the same way. When performing additional sound insulation, the plastic linings covering the opening into the luggage compartment are also removed.

You should know that the backs and the sofas themselves are removed separately. Most often, they begin to pull out the second row from the bottom, and then take it to the top if there are no design or fastening features.

Removing the seats

You can remove the sofa on the Toyota Camry v50 using a slotted screwdriver and a ratchet wrench size 12. Armed with the necessary tools, first:

You should pull the edges of the pillow to release the fastening loops;
Disconnect 2 connectors with a slotted screwdriver;
Now the seats can be pulled out of the cabin.

On the Camry XV40, you can do without a screwdriver, just lift the sofa and pull to pull the staples out of the grooves.

If there are covers on the seats, you can leave them, but for convenience and to keep them clean, it is better to remove them.

Installing the sofa into the interior should be done in the reverse order. Only on the fortieth Camry you will have to make a little effort to get the staples into the grooves.

Removing the backrests

The procedure for dismantling the backrests takes a little longer. Here you will have to work more with a key of 12. So, we remove the backrests of the seats on the Camry 50, for which you need:

Raise the headrest so that the caps for the fastening cells are visible.
Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the plugs.
Use a wrench to unscrew the mounting bolts.
Pull the belt out of the guide.
Unscrew the fastening bolts on both sides at the bottom.
Unscrew the fasteners near the bracket.
Remove the curtain attached to the back from the rear panel.
Pull out the back.

Like the sofa, it must be installed in reverse order.

When working with the rear panel, you need to be careful not to damage the nearby wiring to the rear signal lights, sensors and other mechanisms located there.

The procedure itself for removing the rear row on a Toyota Camry in the XV40 or XV50 body takes a couple of hours, even for an inexperienced motorist. After all, there’s nothing even to spoil or break, except a couple of clips. But such fasteners are often disposable. Therefore, there is no point in paying specialists at a service station for something that you can do yourself.

Electrics

Initially, the electrical wiring was laid with a safety margin. But due to the popularity of the model among car thieves, the Camry XV40 is often additionally equipped with one or even several alarm systems. And the extent of the Camry’s electrical problems directly depends on the degree of “handicraft” of the installers.

When inspecting, be sure to pay attention to how the additional wiring is laid under the hood and in the cabin, look under the front panel. If you find sloppy twists of wires and a bunch of electrical tape, it won’t hurt to undergo additional computer diagnostics of the car.

Among the “innate” electrical weaknesses are the generator and the air conditioning compressor. If the first one is restored for pennies, then replacing the compressor will cost several hundred dollars.

By the way, it wouldn’t hurt to check the cooling system for dandruff. If white flakes are blowing out of the air ducts when the air conditioner is running, then you need to prepare to replace the air conditioner evaporator. The replacement labor may cost more than the evaporator itself.

Toyota Camry 40 is a large and comfortable sedan with increased reliability. But reliability is ensured by regular maintenance. Therefore, one of the most important factors when choosing is transparency of the car's history.

Look at the general condition of the car, pay attention to the details. Unfortunately, the fact of mileage twist cannot be tracked even with the help of a dealer. Therefore, all hope lies only in a thorough diagnosis.

Don’t forget about the criminal popularity of the Camry 40. Documents and body number must be checked with special care. If an oversight in the engine can be repaired, then an oversight in interrupting the body number leads to the loss of the entire car.

In Russian realities, it is better to choose a Camry 40 with a 2.4 liter engine. The box will be more intact and the tax will be less. In other CIS countries, you can also pay attention to the “American” with a 2.5-liter engine and a new six-speed gearbox.

A correctly chosen Toyota Camry XV40 will serve you for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, without losing much in price. The liquidity of the model is at a very high level.
