System Outline

This system adjusts the illuminating angle from changes in the vehicle height and axle distance, based on the information of the vehicle height detected by the height sensors installed at the rear of the vehicle and on information of the vehicle speed and acceleration output from the VSC system which operates the reflector with the obtained illuminating angle through actuators in order to always keep the beam axis constant.

If an error occurs in this system, the headlight beam level control warning light in the combination meter lights up and warning buzzer goes on to warn the driver.



The automatic light control system works when the light control SW is turned to AUTO. The automatic light control sensor detects the brightness around the vehicle. By this function, the system automatically turns on the taillight and headlight if the brightness is below the certain level and turns off the taillight and headlight when the surroundings become brighter than the certain level.
