It can, but nobody will recommend it, except maybe the manufacturer.
Cars aren't designed to run on ethanol, and when they do, alot of the parts can become worn and tired, quicker than usual. For the few cents you save when filling your tank up with fuel, you'll lose it all, and some when you have to cough up for some hefty repairs.
Nearly all modern cars (after 2000) are certainly designed to run on fuel with a nominated maximum proportion of ethanol, almost always a 10% maximum.
Some manufacturers of higher performance cars issue warnings against it (eg Ferrari and Porsche) but such cars usually require premium unleaded anyway. Also, marine engines and utility engines such as mowers usually cannot use E10.
Toyota specifically states for your car that E10 (no more than 10% however) is suitable. It is quite true though that fuel economy will suffer on E10, somewhat nullifying the cheaper cost. You might also notice a small decrease in performance.
Use of E10 has certainly required manufacturers to change the composition of some parts exposed to fuel, and as late as 1996-1997, Toyota was recommending to drivers of some models (Tarago) that they not use E10.

If you are referring to the vehicle having a "Timing Belt", no, it does not have one.
The 2002 Camry 4 cylinder has a Timing CHAIN, and does not need to be replaced.

If your remote is attached to the key in the ignition, it could have been bumped setting off the alarm. It is also possible for the lock button to be depressed and lock the doors, if you do not notice this and get out of the car........!

Ignition timing?
On that engine the ecu reads the crank and cam sensor on startup to
determine top dead center and controls the ignition timing and advance
from there.. There is no distributor and no timing adjustment.
