Central Junction Box - Lower Side:

The front turn signal lamps and side lamps are integrated into the headlamp assembly and cannot be removed individually.

The headlamp assembly is divided into three compartments, the turn signal lamp, low and high beam. Despite its small size and low depth, the 'Complex Shape' reflector provides a very strong beam. Furthermore, the lens is made of plastic which saves weight.

The headlamp is removed for the removal and installation of the dipped beam bulb, the main beam bulb, the turn signal lamp and the side lamp. Afterwards the headlamp alignment should always be checked.

Headlamp System
The headlamp system consists of:
^ Two headlamps.
^ Lamp switch.
^ Relay for switching between high and low beam.
^ Turn signal/high-low beam switch.
^ High beam display.
^ Wiring.
^ Fuses.

The voltage is supplied to the lamp switch through a fuse located in the Central Junction Box (CJB).

If the lamp switch is set to 'headlamps', a voltage is supplied to the low beam relay. The relay for the dipped beam is located in the Battery Junction Box (BJB).

If the high beam/low beam switch is set to 'high beam', a voltage is supplied through the high beam relay to the high beam part of the headlamp assembly. The left and right-hand high beams are fused separately. The fuses are located in the BJB.

Lamp Switch
The lamp switch has four settings:
^ Off.
^ Both side lamps.
^ Headlamps.
^ Fog lamps.

When the lamp switch is set to 'side lamps', a voltage is supplied to the front and rear side lamps, as well as to the license plate lamp. The side lights for the left and right-hand sides are fused separately. The fuses are located in the CJB in the left-hand side footwell.

When the switch is set to 'headlamps', the fog lamps can be switched on by pulling the switch knob.

Instrument Lighting Dimmer Module
^ The instrument lighting dimmer module is a variable resistance.
^ The instrument lighting dimmer module controls the brightness of the instrument lighting, the audio control unit lighting and the air conditioning lighting.

'Lights On' Warning Signal
The 'lights on' warning signal is part of the central timer module. It is located in the CJB.

A warning signal sounds when the driver door is opened when the lamp switch is set to 'headlamps' or 'side lamps' and the ignition is off.

Brake Pedal Position (BPP) Switch
The BPP switch:
^ Is an ON/OFF switch.
^ is fitted underneath the instrument panel near the brake pedal mounting bracket.
^ supplies a voltage from a fuse in the CJB to the high mounted stop lamp and through the turn signal switch to the stop lamps.

Stop Lamps
^ The stop lamps are also used as turn signals and are integrated into the rear lamp assembly.

High Mounted Stop Lamp
^ The High Mounted Stop Lamp is located in the rear window.
^ A stop lamp can also be fitted in the rear spoiler as an option.

Parking, Reversing and Side Lamps
^ The voltage for these lamps is supplied through the lamp switch.
^ The left and right-hand circuits are fused separately in the CJB.
^ The parking and side lights will work when the lamp switch is set to 'side lamps' or 'headlamps'.
^ The reversing lamps operate dependent on selection of reverse gear.

License Plate Lamp
^ The license plate lamp lights up when the lamp switch is set to either 'both side lamps' or 'headlamps'.

Reversing Lamps
The reversing lamps system consists of:
^ Reversing lamps.
^ Transaxle range sensor.
^ Wiring.
^ Fuse.

The voltage supply to the reversing lamps is provided by the reversing lamp switch on vehicles equipped with a manual transaxle and by the transaxle range sensor on vehicles equipped with an automatic transaxle. There is a fuse for this circuit in the CJB.

Turn Signal Lamps and Hazard Warning Lights
The turn signal lamps and hazard warning lamps system consists of:
^ Turn signal/high-low beam switch.
^ Turn signal relay.
^ Turn signal lamps.
^ Turn signal indicator.
^ Wiring.
^ Fuse.

The turn signal relay is supplied with a voltage through turn signal/high-low beam switch. There is a fuse for the turn signal/high-low beam switch in both the BJB and the CJB.

If the turn signal/high-low beam lamp switch is switched downwards, then the left-hand turn signal lamps are supplied with a voltage through the turn signal relay. If the turn signal/high-low beam lamp switch is switched upwards, then the right-hand turn signal lamps are supplied with a voltage through the turn signal relay.

Hazard Flasher Switch
^ The hazard flasher switch is integrated into the turn signal/high-low beam lamp switch. It protrudes through the upper steering column shroud.
^ When the hazard flasher switch is switched on, all four turn signal lamps and the turn signal indicator in the instrument cluster are supplied with a voltage through the turn signal relay.

Turn Signal Relay
The turn signal relay:
^ Is an electronic unit.
^ is located on the steering column on the turn signal/high-low beam lamp switch.

Daytime Running Lamps (Canada)
The daytime running lamps (dimmed low beam) illuminate when the ignition is switched on. In addition to the headlamp system, a daytime running lamp relay is installed.

Once the ignition is switched on, the components are connected in series:

Daytime running lamps relay, left-hand low beam bulb, fuse for the left-hand low beam bulb, fuse for the right-hand low beam bulb, right-hand low beam bulb and ground.

By connecting the components in series, the voltage supply to the low beam bulbs is reduced which reduces the power of the low beam.

If the lamp switch is set to 'headlamps', the daytime running lamps relay is energized and the daytime running lamps resistor is cut.

If the headlamp flasher or the high beam is switched on, the daytime running lamps relay engages and switches both low beam bulbs on once more in parallel to make them shine at full power again.

The diodes for the daytime running lamps allow the current to flow in one direction only when the lamp switch is switched on.
