Replying to: jagger (Dec 18, 2008 6:56 am) I believe some of the others are correct -- this is a programmable feature, and the "how to's" can be found in the owner's manual.

Replying to: jz888 (Dec 17, 2008 1:55 pm) Human metabolism, breathing, perspiration, etc, contributes a LOT of humidity to the cabin environment and there is no escape, no EASY ESCAPE, for that humidified atmosphere if you have the system in recirculate mode. So absent FORCING cabin airflow out of the cabin via the relatively tiny exhauster port the Rh in the cabin just keeps rising...and rising. Soon the dewpoint will be below the windshield (or windows) interior surface temperature and condensation, FOG, begins to form.   For the same reasons of safety even in summer the system will not remain in recirculate mode for more than a few minutes unless the A/C is operating.   All automotive A/C compressors MUST be disabled below about 35F otherwise the condensate on the evaporator vanes might/would freeze and block all incoming airflow. I would not be at all surprised if some marques disabled the A/C in the 45-50F range as the ability for the A/C to provide any reasonable level of dehumidification below those temperatures is unlikely except in unusual climatic conditions, COLD and HUMID.

#666 of 910 Fun Fob Fact by jagger Dec 20, 2008 (4:33 am)
When my fob for my '09 Camry CE didn't beep and flash lights when pressing lock/unlock, I took the car and keys back to the dealer. After hours of scratching their heads, they told me that the solution was not in their tech manuals and they had to go on-line with Toyota to discover that there is a 1-inch rod-shaped silver switch under the dash above the emergency brake that toggles to turn on and off the fob function that controls the beeps and flashes. So if you want quiet and no lights, flip the switch.   Jagger Replies to this message: mcdawgg (Dec 20, 2008 5:27 am) notmybmw (Jan 01, 2009 1:18 pm) adamw812 (Jan 01, 2009 4:17 pm) notmybmw (Jan 01, 2009 8:51 pm) wwest (Jan 02, 2009 8:25 am) dmathews3 (Jan 02, 2009 9:02 am) notmybmw (Jan 02, 2009 11:13 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: jagger (Dec 20, 2008 4:33 am) CE's (or Standard grade Camry, as it is now called) don't come with this from the factory, so you must have had this added by the dealer?

Replying to: wwest (Dec 18, 2008 5:56 pm) Thanks to mcdawgg (post #656) and wwest (post #665) for the for their expertise. The gurus have spoken -- us rookies should take note.

Replying to: exler (Dec 18, 2008 9:38 am) ,,,,,how about because it is a belt drive in the CVT transmission, as opposed to metallic gears..... Replies to this message: wwest (Dec 21, 2008 8:48 am)

Replying to: kiawah (Dec 21, 2008 8:31 am) Belt, yes, but a metallic one....   I'm now sure just how much engine torque modern CVT's can provide/handle, note you don't see any with higher torque engines. The infinite gear "ratios" are certainly a modern day godsend with regard to FE and seemless/smooth shifting.   It may even be that DBW is being used to pre-emptively derate the engine in low(er) CVT "gear" ranges, as it is in many FWD cars for reasons of SAFETY, using traction control.
#671 of 910 What tires on new Camry SE-V6? by lmacmil Dec 31, 2008 (7:18 am)
I need tires for my 2005 SE-V6. The Bridgestone EL400s have a few miles left after 30K miles but it's winter and there's snow (33" already this year) so I can use the full tread of a new tire.   Based on Tirerack ratings, I am considering Michelin Primacy (pricey), Bridgestone Potenza G019, Goodyear ComforTred, and Yoko Avid V4S. Need to check out Consumer Reports also.   I want low highway noise and no decrease in gas mileage. Knowing that the OEMs go for low rolling resistance to maximize gas mileage, wondering what Toyota is putting on Camrys these days. Especially interested in the SE.

Replying to: lmacmil (Dec 31, 2008 7:18 am) I replaced the Bridgestone OEM with Goodyear Comfort treads which I've had on a previous vehicle. They are smooth and good in snow and rain. However I lost a mpg or so as tradeoff for the great ride and traction - you can't have it all. I also have several cars with Michelin Harmony which I believe cost less than the newer Primacy. The harmony tires are very similar to the comfort treads. Both of these tires have delivered better tread life than my Bridgestone OEM.

Replying to: lmacmil (Dec 31, 2008 7:18 am) My '01 AWD RX300 has just spent almost ten days riding with tire chains on all four. 2 feet of snow accumulated at home, just now melting away. Underneath those chains is 4 Bridgestone Turanza summer only QUIET and comfortably riding tires.   I'd rather "suffer" the rare and short lived tire chain installation/noise/removal than suffer the NOISE and discomfort of winter specialty tires CONSTANTLY.
