The 2021 Camry can remotely start the engine and turn on the air conditioner. Below is an introduction to the Camry: Exterior: The eighth-generation Camry features dual designs for the luxury and sport versions, both inspired by Toyota's latest "Keen Look" design language. The luxury version adopts a large trapezoidal horizontal grille, with a streamlined body, lower waistline, and an extended roofline that enhances rear headroom. The interior boasts a "pure black" cabin design, with dual exhaust pipes at the rear. Additionally, the hybrid version is based on the luxury model, highlighted by light blue front and rear lights. Interior: The interior features an asymmetrical design with a Y-shaped curve on the dashboard. Soft-touch surfaces and metal trims use premium materials, and the instrument panel and console incorporate the first-time use of the three-dimensional surface decoration process (TOM), creating a visually 3D effect. The eighth-generation Camry's new seats have a sporty, contoured design, using new springs and high-density, high-damping polyurethane foam for the cushions.

Yes, certain models of the Toyota Camry can activate the air conditioning remotely. I personally drive a 2021 high-end model equipped with Toyota's remote connect service. On scorching summer days, I just take out my phone, open the Toyota app, and choose to start the engine—the air conditioning automatically turns on and adjusts to the preset temperature. This feature is incredibly practical for daily commutes, avoiding the sauna-like heat when getting into the car. The prerequisite is subscribing to their paid service package, and it's only available on models that support smart keys. I recommend asking the salesperson about specific configurations when buying a car, as lower-end models might not have this feature. If you forget to turn it on, you can still use remote defogging or similar functions. Overall, it's a thoughtful design that makes life more convenient.

Should the clutch be partially engaged or fully released when reversing?

Reversing requires partial clutch engagement. Here are the relevant details: Introduction: Both reversing and starting can be done with partial clutch engagement. If the clutch is fully released when reversing, the vehicle speed can reach 20km/h, which often leads to frantic and uncontrollable driving. Additional Information: Partial clutch engagement accelerates wear on the clutch plates. It's better to use the braking method as replacing brake pads is cheaper than clutch plates. When the steering wheel is turned to full lock, the tire grip and forward traction decrease, making it difficult for the vehicle to start. This difference is particularly noticeable in small-displacement vehicles or those with limited traction.
