LIGHTING SYSTEM SYSTEM DESCRIPTION


  1. AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM

    When the light control switch is in the AUTO position, the automatic light control system detects ambient light levels and controls the low beam headlights, front side marker lights, parking lights, taillights/rear side marker lights and license plate lights.

  2. LIGHT AUTO TURN-OFF SYSTEM (w/ Side Turn Signal Light)


    1. General

      The light auto turn-off system is used to prevent the exterior lights from being accidentally left on (headlights, front side marker lights, taillights/rear side marker lights, parking lights and license plate lights).

    2. When all of the following conditions are met, the headlights, front side marker lights, taillights/rear side marker lights, parking lights and license plate lights turn off:


      • The ignition switch is turned from ON to off.

      • The headlights, front side marker lights, taillights/rear side marker lights, parking lights and license plate lights are on.

      • The driver door is opened.

  3. LIGHT AUTO TURN-OFF SYSTEM (w/o Side Turn Signal Light)

  4. DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYSTEM


    1. The daytime running light system is designed to automatically illuminate the daytime running lights during the daytime to make the vehicle more visible to other vehicles. This system is controlled by the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) and engine room junction block assembly. The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) transmits a turn on signal to the engine room junction block assembly, which illuminates the daytime running light assembly*1 or low-intensity high beam headlights*2.


      • *1: for DRL LED Type

      • *2: for DRL Bulb Type


      • This system is enabled when the following conditions are met (Headlight dimmer switch with DRL OFF function):


        • Ignition switch is ON.

        • Engine revolution signal is received (engine running).

        • Light control switch is in the tail or AUTO position (and the low beam headlights are not turned on via the automatic light control system).

        • Parking brake switch is off.

          Tech Tips

          The daytime running light will turn off when a turn signal switch or the hazard warning light switch is turned on. See the following table for details. (for DRL LED type)
