Construction and Operation

1. LED Driver Module

   
   

   • The LED driver module assemblies (LED light control ECU) illuminate the LED used as a light source for the low beam headlights/high beam headlights and high beam headlights.

   • When the low beam headlights/high beam headlights or high beam headlights are illuminated, a constant current flows to the LED to instantly stabilize the headlights. Also, changes in the LED current due to fluctuations in the voltage are reduced to prevent the lights from flickering.

2. Headlight Assembly

   
   

   • Through optimization of the shape of the lenses and reflectors inside the lights, a large illumination range has been achieved.

Construction

1. Forward Recognition Camera

   
   

   • The forward recognition camera consists of the Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) that receives images and the mirror portion that identifies light sources, and judges whether to turn high beam headlights on or off.

2. Operating Condition

   
   

   • The automatic high beam system will operate as follows:

     Item	Operating Condition
     System Activation	When all of the following conditions are met, the automatic high beam system is activated and the automatic high beam indicator light turns on: The engine switch is on (IG). Automatic high beam system is activated (Automatic high beam switch is not operated). The headlight dimmer switch assembly is in the auto position and high beam position. The light control sensor outputs the night mode signal (to turn the headlights on).
     High Beam Headlight On	When all of the following conditions are met, the automatic high beam system turns on the high beam headlights after a short delay: Vehicle speed is more than approximately 34 km/h (21 mph). The area in front of the vehicle is dark. No oncoming vehicles are present with the headlights on. No preceding vehicles are present with the taillights on. Few streetlights are present along the street ahead.
     High Beam Headlight Off	When any of the following conditions are met, the automatic system turns off the high beam headlights after a short delay: Vehicle speed is less than approximately 27 km/h (17 mph). The area in front of the vehicle is not dark. An oncoming vehicle with headlights on is detected. A preceding vehicle with taillights on is detected. Several streetlights are present along the street ahead.

Interior Light Control

1. Interior Light Control Function

   
   

   • The interior light control (front/ rear room lights and engine switch illumination) consists primarily of the fade-in/fade-out function and timer illumination function.

   • The interior light control activates as described in the diagram below when one of items is in the respective state.

     

     Condition	Item
     Condition (1)	With engine switch OFF and all doors closed, key enters any actuation area around the doors. (Models with entry and start system) Engine switch OFF and all doors closed, any door is unlocked. Engine switch is turned from ACC, IG to OFF.
     Condition (2)	Driver door or front passenger door is opened. Rear passenger door is opened.
     Condition (3)	Driver door or front passenger door is closed. Rear passenger door is closed.
     Condition (4)	More than approximately 15 seconds have elapsed since the light ON state (15 seconds duration)*. All doors are closed, and are locked. Engine switch is turned from OFF to ACC, IG. Key is outside of all actuation area around the doors. (Models with entry and start system)

     *: The function setting can be changed using the customized body electronics system. For details, refer to the Repair Manual.

2. Interior Footwell Light Control Function

   
   

   • The interior footwell light control consists primarily of the fade-in/fade-out function and timer illumination function.

   • The interior footwell light control operates as described in the diagram below when any one of the items for each condition is satisfied.

     

     Condition	Item
     Condition (1)	With engine switch OFF and all doors closed, any door is unlocked.
     Condition (2)	Any door is open. With shift lever at P position, engine switch is changed from OFF to IG.
     Condition (3)	With engine switch ACC or OFF, all doors are closed. With all doors closed, engine switch is changed from IG to OFF.
     Condition (4)	More than 15 seconds have elapsed in the light ON state (15 seconds duration)*. With engine switch OFF and all doors closed, all doors are locked.
     Condition (5)	Shift lever is put into other than P position with engine switch IG.
