    3. Daytime Running Light System (Models with Daytime Running Light)


      1. This system is designed to automatically activate the daytime running lights during the daytime to keep the car highly visible to other vehicles.

    4. Automatic Light Control System (Models with Automatic Light Control System)


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

    5. Light Automatic Turn-off System


      1. This system automatically turns off the headlight, taillight, and so on when the ignition switch (engine switch*) is turned off.


        • *: Models with entry and start system

    6. Follow Me Home Function System


      1. When the ignition switch (engine switch) is off and the light control switch is in the pass position then neutral position, the high beam headlight will turns off after 30 seconds.

    7. High Intensity Discharge (HID) Headlight System (Models with HID Headlight System)


      1. 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 (Models with HID Headlight System)


      1. 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. Manual Headlight Beam Level Control System (Models with halogen Headlight System)


      1. 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 30000 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.
