LIGHTING SYSTEM(for Single Beam Headlight) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION


  1. AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM


    1. 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, clearance lights, taillights and license plate lights.

  2. LIGHT AUTO TURN-OFF SYSTEM (for European Models)


    1. The light auto turn-off system is used to prevent the exterior lights from being accidentally left on (low beam headlights, high beam headlights, front fog lights, rear fog light, taillights, clearance lights and license plate lights).

      The lights that will turn off will vary according to the position of the light control switch as shown in the table below.

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

      • There are 2 LED type clearance light circuits in each clearance light assembly. One is for a conventional low-intensity clearance light that illuminates with the taillights, and the other is for the high-intensity clearance light that is used for the DRL system.

      • This system is enabled when the following conditions are met:


        • READY condition is received.

        • The light control switch is in the off* or AUTO position (and the taillights are not turned on via the automatic light control system).
