What does the DOOR button on the Camry mean?
3 Answers
Interior light switch. DOOR means the light will automatically turn on when the door is opened or the engine is turned off. OFF turns off the interior light. After turning off the engine, press and hold the remote lock button for more than 2.5 seconds (keep holding until the windows close) to close the driver's side window and the sunroof. Additional information: The DOOR switch in a car refers to the car door. If installed on the sunroof, it refers to opening or closing the sunroof. Additionally, if this button is located on the front panel of the car, it refers to the interior reading light. After closing the car door, this interior reading light will turn on. If the car is unlocked, the light will also turn on.
When I first got my Camry, I also spent a long time studying the door buttons. The 'Door' button refers to that row of buttons with door symbols on the driver's side door panel, mainly controlling all the car's windows and mirrors. The most commonly used ones are those with window patterns—pulling your finger up raises or lowers the glass. Don't overlook the small button with an 'X' in the middle; when lit, it locks all windows except the driver's, which is especially safe when traveling with kids. There's also a mirror adjustment knob—turn it to 'L' or 'R' to electrically adjust the mirror angles. The lock button near the door handle is the most practical; a red light means all doors are locked instantly, boosting safety when traveling alone at night. All these designs are optimized for one-handed operation by the driver, allowing control of the car's entire protection system with just a five-centimeter finger movement.
Having driven the Camry for five years, I can operate these buttons with my eyes closed. The button family on the door panel includes: the square area controls the windows, with the wavy pattern adjusting the four power windows; the one with the child lock symbol prevents mischievous kids from pressing randomly; the round knob is dedicated to the side mirrors—select L/R and push the cross key to adjust the angle precisely. A special mention goes to the door lock button: normally, the red light stays on indicating a locked state, and pressing it once turns it white to unlock the entire car. If you suddenly stop at a gas station or need passengers in the back to get out, a light tap on the unlock button is super convenient. This system is much smarter than old-fashioned mechanical locks, especially when you forget to close the windows on a rainy day—just hold the window-up button for two seconds to solve it remotely.
