    3. Daytime Running Light System


      1. This system is optionally available for models for Europe.

      2. This system is designed to automatically activate the low beam headlights, taillights, clearance lights, and license plate lights during the daytime to keep the car highly visible to other vehicles.

    4. Automatic Light Control System


      1. This system has been provided as the standard equipment for the G grade models for Hong Kong and provided as the optional equipment for the models for Europe.

      2. When the light control switch is in the AUTO position, the light control sensor detects the ambient light level and automatically turns the headlights, taillights, clearance lights, and license plate lights on or off accordingly.

    5. Follow Me Home System


      1. This system has been provided as the standard equipment for models for Europe.

      2. This system is designed to illuminate the low beam headlights for certain period after the vehicle parked.

    6. Light Automatic Turn-off System


      1. This system has been provided as the standard equipment for all models except the X grade models for Hong Kong.

      2. For European models, when the ignition switch (engine switch*) is turned off while the light control switch (TAIL or HEAD) is turned on, the headlights and fog light are turned off automatically. When the ignition switch (engine switch*) is turned off while the light control switch is in the AUTO position, all lights are turned off automatically.

      3. For the G grade models for Hong Kong, when the ignition switch (engine switch*) is turned off and the driver door is opened while the light control switch is turned on or is in the AUTO position, all lights are turned off automatically.


        • *: Models with entry and start system

      4. A battery saving function has been adopted. This function operates as follows; after the lamp auto cut system was activated, when the light control switch (HEAD) is turned on or is in the AUTO position and the headlights and taillights are turned on, the lights will be turned off automatically in a certain period of time to prevent the battery to run out.

    7. High Intensity Discharge (HID) Headlight System


      1. This system is optionally available for the G grade models for Hong Kong.

      2. The HID headlight system uses a discharge bulb as its light source for the low beam. Discharge bulbs have features superior to halogen bulbs.

    8. Automatic Headlight Beam Level Control System


      1. This system is provided with the HID headlight system as a set.

      2. When the headlights are on, the automatic headlight beam level control system operates the headlight leveling motor in accordance with the movement of the vehicle.

    9. Light Reminder System


      1. When the driver door is opened with either the headlights or the taillights turned on when the ignition switch (engine switch*) is turned off, the buzzer sounds to prevent the driver from forgetting to turn off the lights.


        • *: Models with entry and start system

    10. Manual Headlight Beam Level Control System


      1. This system has been provided for the models other than the HID headlight system equipped models.

      2. The manual headlight beam level control system keeps the beam of the headlight adjusted to the appropriate level in accordance with the number (weight) of passengers and volume of luggage.

  3. PRECAUTION


    1. HID Headlight System


      1. When the HID headlights illuminate, a high voltage (approximately 22000 V) is applied momentarily to the bulb sockets, which could lead to a serious accident. Never connect the tester to the high voltage socket of HID headlight for measurement, as the high voltage may cause a serious accident.

      2. When inspecting the HID headlight system, in order to prevent electric shocks, make sure that water is not present, the light control switch is off, the battery terminal has been removed, and the connector of the light control ECU has been disconnected.

      3. Operate the HID headlight only after assembly has been properly completed, and never operate without bulbs installed.

      4. Do not operate the HID headlight using a power source other than that of the vehicle.

      5. If there is a defect in the HID headlight or if the headlight has suffered a shock, replace the bulb with a new one.

      6. Discharge bulbs reach high temperatures when illuminated. For this reason, the life of a bulb could be shortened if any oil comes in contact with the glass portion of a bulb. Do not touch the glass portion of a bulb with bare hands.

      7. Judgment whether to be externally poor is difficult for the bulb of the Discharge head lamp. Therefore, a quality is judged by check changing for the normal Discharge head lamp bulb, and making the light switch on.
