        *5 Taillight/Stop Light *6 Turn Signal Light
        *7 Backup Light *8 Rear Fog Light

    2. Daytime Running Light System


      1. The daytime running light system is designed to automatically illuminate the daytime running lights during the daytime to keep the vehicle highly visible to other vehicles.

    3. High Intensity Discharge (HID) Headlight System


      1. The HID headlight system uses a metal halide bulb as the light source for each low beam. Discharge bulbs are superior to halogen bulbs.

    4. Intelligent Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS)


      1. An intelligent AFS is used in order to ensure a wide low beam lighting area and provide excellent visibility during turns by moving the low beam.

      2. The intelligent AFS performs medium-to-high speed control and low speed control. In medium-to-high speed control, the system calculates the target lighting angle based on the steering angle and vehicle speed and changes the swivel angle of the low-beam headlights individually. During the low speed control, the system calculates the target lighting angle based on the steering angle and changes the swivel angle of the low-beam headlight on the side facing into the turn.

        *c Lighting Area - -

    5. Automatic Headlight Beam Level Control System (Models with HID Headlights)


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

    6. Manual Headlight Beam Level Control System (Models with Halogen Headlights)


      1. When the vehicle posture changes in accordance with the number (weight) of passengers and volume of luggage, this system makes it possible to adjust the low beam level (11-steps) manually to the appropriate level. The low beam level is adjusted using the headlight leveling switch.

    7. Automatic High Beam System


      1. The automatic high beam system detects lights in front of the vehicle and automatically changes between high beams and low beams to support the driver during night driving.

    8. Automatic Light Control System


      1. When the dimmer 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.

      2. This system is controlled by the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU).

    9. Light Auto Turn-off System


      1. The light auto turn-off system is used to prevent the driver from leaving the vehicle with the headlights, front fog lights*, clearance lights, taillights or license plate lights on.


        • *: Models with front fog lights

    10. Emergency Brake Signal


      1. The hazard warning lights flash automatically in the case of emergency braking to alert following drivers, thus helping to reduce rear-end accidents.

    11. Lane Change Signal


      1. The turn signal lights flash 3 times when the turn signal switch (headlight dimmer switch assembly) is operated partway up or partway down.

    12. Follow Me Home System


      1. The follow me home system turns on the headlights (low beams), clearance lights and taillights when the vehicle is parked in order to ensure visibility at night.

  3. MAIN FEATURES


    1. High Intensity Discharge (HID) Headlight System


      1. The light emitted by an HID headlight bulb is close in color to sunlight. The light shines ahead over a broader area and farther forward, increasing the area visible to the driver.

      2. Less power is consumed compared to halogen headlights.

      3. Bi-function increases the upper illumination area of the discharge bulb when the high beam is turned on.

  4. PRECAUTION


    1. High Intensity Discharge (HID) Headlight System


      1. When the HID headlights illuminate, a high voltage (approximately 30000 V) is applied momentarily to the bulb sockets. Never connect a tester to the high voltage socket of an HID headlight for measurement, as this may lead to a serious accident due to high voltage.

      2. Whenever inspecting the HID headlight system, make sure that water or rain is not present, the dimmer switch is off, the battery terminal is disconnected, and the light control ECU connector is disconnected in order to prevent an electric shock.

      3. Whenever operating the HID headlights, make sure that the headlight unit is complete and never operate the system without bulbs installed.

      4. Do not operate the HID headlights using a power source other than the vehicle's.

      5. When there is a defect in an HID headlight or any shock has been applied to it, replace the bulb with a new one.

      6. A discharge bulb reaches a high temperature when it is illuminated. For this reason, the life of the bulb could be shortened if any oil comes in contact with the glass portion of the bulb. Do not touch the glass portion of a bulb with bare hands.
