System Description [09/2015 - 08/2019]

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, parking lights, taillights and license plate lights.

LIGHT AUTO TURN-OFF SYSTEM

The light auto turn-off system is used to prevent the exterior lights from being accidentally left on (headlights, front fog lights, taillights, parking lights, license plate lights and side marker lights).

This system has the following functions.

Function	Outline
Delay Function	The exterior lights automatically turn off after 30 seconds when all of the following conditions are met: The engine switch is turned from on (IG) to off. The low beam headlights are on. All doors are closed after any of the doors are opened.
Door Control Transmitter-linked Function	The exterior lights turn off immediately when the delay function is active and the following condition is met: The lock button on the key is pushed after all doors are locked.
Door Open-linked	The exterior lights automatically turn off immediately when all of the following conditions are met: The engine switch is turned from on (IG) to off. The taillights are on. (The low beam headlights are off.) The driver door is opened.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYSTEM
1. The daytime running light system is designed to automatically illuminate the daytime running lights (high-intensity parking 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).
  - There are 2 LED type parking light circuits in headlight. One is for a conventional low-intensity parking light that illuminates with the taillights, and the other is for the high-intensity parking light that is used for the DRL system.
  - This system is enabled when the following conditions are met:
    - The engine switch is on (IG).
    - The engine speed signal is input (engine running).
    - The light control switch is in the off, tail or AUTO position (and the low beam headlights are not turned on via the automatic light control system). (w/o DRL OFF Switch)
    - The light control switch is in the tail or AUTO position (and the low beam headlights are not turned on via the automatic light control system). (w/ DRL OFF Switch)
    - The parking brake switch is off.
WELCOME LIGHT ILLUMINATION CONTROL
1. When a wireless door unlock operation or entry door unlock operation is performed at nighttime, the parking lights illuminate for 15 seconds.

OUTSIDE HANDLE FOOT LIGHT CONTROL

General
- The outside handle foot light control consists primarily of the fade-in/fade-out/2 steps fade-out function and timer illumination function.
- This control is controlled 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/2 steps fade-out control of the outside handle foot lights.

The outside handle foot light control has the following control functions:

Function	Outline
Actuation Area-linked	When all of the following conditions are met, the lights that operate fade-in: The engine switch is off. All doors are closed. A key is detected in the actuation area.
Actuation Area-linked	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 engine switch is off. All doors are closed. Any door is unlocked when all doors are locked.
Door Lock/Unlock-linked	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.
Door Open/Close-linked	When either of the following conditions is met, the lights that operate fade-out: The engine switch is off, any door is open. Any door is closed or opened.
Engine Switch-linked	When the following condition is met, the lights that operate fade-out: The engine switch is on (IG).
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. The door unlock-linked function is active. Any door is opened and then closed.

LANE CHANGE FLASHER CONTROL
1. This control is controlled by the combination meter assembly.
2. When moving the headlight dimmer switch assembly (turn signal switch) 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) is moved to the lane change position (it is not necessary to hold the switch), the turn signal light turns off if the headlight dimmer switch assembly (turn signal switch) is moved in the opposite direction.
WIPER-LINKED LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT CONTROL
1. Wiper-linked low beam headlight control is designed to automatically illuminate the low beam headlights when it is raining to make the vehicle more visible to other vehicles.
2. When all of the following conditions are met for 10 seconds or more, the wiper-linked low beam headlight control will turn the low beam headlights on:
  - The engine switch is on (IG).
  - The light control switch is in the AUTO position.
  - The front wipers are operating. (Except MIST and washer-linked wiper operation)
3. When any of the following conditions are met, the wiper-linked low beam headlight control will turn the low beam headlights off:
  - The engine switch is turned off.
  - The light control switch is moved to a position other than the AUTO position.
  - 3 seconds have elapsed since the front wiper operation has stopped. (However, if the automatic light control sensor determines that the surrounding area is dark, the low beam headlights will remain illuminated even if 3 seconds have elapsed since the wiper operation stopped.)
