Park the Toyota Camry on a safe road surface. Shift the Toyota Camry's gear lever to the P (Park) position. Pull up the electronic parking brake switch of the Toyota Camry. Press the remote start button.

As a frequent driver of this car, I find the operation steps of the 2021 Camry very intuitive. Before getting in, use the keyless entry with your key or phone to open the door and enter. Once seated, press the brake pedal and start the engine by pressing the ignition button near the steering wheel. After starting, the first thing to do is adjust the seat height and position for comfortable driving—also adjust the rearview mirrors to avoid blind spots. Then check the dashboard and center console screen: select a driving mode like Eco for fuel efficiency, set the air conditioning temperature via the touchscreen, or connect Bluetooth to play music. Before moving, lightly push the gear lever to engage the desired gear, and pay attention to the parking sensor alerts and camera display when reversing to ensure safety. While driving, frequently use the cruise control buttons to maintain distance on highways, and remember to shift back to P (Park) and turn off the engine when parking. The entire process emphasizes safety—don’t forget to regularly check basic functions like headlights and wipers. Beginners should first review the user manual to familiarize themselves with the settings.

When I first got this car, I quickly figured out a smooth routine: unlock the car, open the door, sit in the driver's seat, and start the engine by pressing the brake. Then immediately adjust the seat and rearview mirror for clear visibility—the key can be sensed even when it's in the bag. Check the dashboard to confirm fuel levels and lights, such as switching to auto mode using the controls on the left side of the steering wheel. A single press of the central screen button lets you select navigation or connect your phone, with the AC set to a comfortable temperature and not too strong. Before driving, shift to D gear to start, and the reverse camera display is very handy when backing up. On the road, pay attention to the lane-keeping assist that automatically adjusts direction in curves, which is great for saving energy on long trips. When stopping, just shift to P gear, turn off the engine, and lock the doors. I recommend new drivers try out the smart systems more to enhance convenience and safety.

My experience with the Camry is: Get in the car, step on the brake to start the engine, and adjust the seat and rearview mirror for a suitable view. Check that the headlight and wiper switches are in auto mode for convenience, and turn the air conditioning knob twice to quickly adjust the temperature. Press the center console button once to connect Bluetooth for music or set navigation for a smooth departure. Gently push the gear lever to shift and rely on the radar warning when reversing. While driving, press the cruise button to maintain a safe following distance. Park, shift to P, turn off the engine, lock the car, and leave. Pay attention to fuel efficiency and avoid frequent rapid acceleration.
