LIGHTING SYSTEM 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 (except Driver Door-linked Light Auto Turn-off System)


    1. The light auto turn-off system is used to prevent the exterior lights from being accidentally left on (headlights, front fog lights*1, rear fog light*2, taillights, clearance lights and license plate lights).

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

      Switch Condition Outline

      Light control switch in tail or head position

      While the exterior lights are turned on, this control automatically turns off only the low beam headlights, high beam headlights and the front fog lights*1 when the ignition switch is turned from ON to off.

      Tech Tips

      Taillights, clearance lights, license plate lights and rear fog light*2 remain on.

  5. DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYSTEM


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


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

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


        • The ignition switch to ON.

        • The engine speed signal is input (engine running).

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

          *: w/ Light Control Switch Off Position

        • The parking brake switch is off.

  6. DOOR MIRROR FOOT LIGHT CONTROL (w/ Door Mirror Foot Light)


    1. General


      • The door mirror foot light control consists primarily of the fade-in/fade-out function and timer illumination function.

      • This control is performed by the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU). According to various information, the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) performs fade-in/fade-out control of the door mirror foot lights.

    2. The door mirror foot light control has the following control functions:

      Function Outline
      Actuation Area-linked*1

      When all of the following conditions are met, the lights that operate fade-in:


      • The ignition switch is off.

      • All doors are closed.

      • A key is detected in the actuation area.

      When the following condition is met, the lights that operate fade-out:


      • A key is not detected in the actuation area.
      Door Lock/Unlock-linked

      When all of the following conditions are met, the lights that operate fade-in:


      • The ignition switch is off.

      • All doors are closed.

      • Any door is unlocked when all doors are locked.

      When either of the following conditions is met, the lights that operate fade-out:


      • All doors are locked when all doors are closed and any door is unlocked.

      • All doors are locked again when all doors are closed and locked.
      Ignition Switch-linked

      When the following condition is met, the lights that operate fade-out:


      • The ignition switch is ON.
      Delay

      When approximately 15 seconds elapse after any of the following conditions are met, the lights that operate fade-out:


      • An actuation area-linked function is used.*1

      • The door unlock-linked function is active.

      • *1: w/ Entry and Start System

  7. FOLLOW ME HOME SYSTEM (w/ Follow Me Home System)


    1. The follow me home system is designed to illuminate the low beam headlights for approximately 30 seconds after the vehicle is parked.

      2. This system is enabled when the following conditions are met:


        • The ignition switch is off.

        • The light control switch is in the AUTO or off* position.

  8. LANE CHANGE FLASHER CONTROL


    1. This control is performed by the combination meter assembly.

    2. When the headlight dimmer switch assembly (turn signal switch) is moved to the lane change position (it is not necessary to hold the switch) during a lane change, the turn signal light flashes a specified number of times.

    3. While the turn signal light is flashing after the headlight dimmer switch assembly (turn signal switch) has been moved to the lane change position, the turn signal light turns off if the headlight dimmer switch assembly (turn signal switch) is moved in the opposite direction.
