HEADLIGHT

HEADLIGHT AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
Even if the lighting switch (taillight switch or headlight switch) is ON, the headlights and taillights will automatically go off in the given conditions to prevent the battery from discharging: When the ignition key is turned from "ON" to "LOCK" (OFF) or "ACC" position with the lighting switch turned ON, and this state continues for three minutes, the light will automatically be turned off. If the driver's seat door is opened during these three minutes, the light will go off one second later.

HIGH-BEAM INDICATOR
At the same time that the high-beams are illuminated, the ETACS-ECU sends a signal to illuminate the high-beam indicator via the CAN bus line. The combination meter receives the transmitted signal and turns the high-beam indicator on and off.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT FUNCTION
The ETACS-ECU outputs the daytime running light forced-OFF signal to the front-ECU based on the input signal sent via CAN communication. The front-ECU controls illumination and extinction of the daytime running light according to the daytime running light forced-OFF signal.

Illumination control of daytime running lights
- If the engine is started when the parking brake is not pulled, the headlights illuminate with the brightness reduced.
- If the engine is started while the parking brake is pulled, the daytime running light function OFF mode is entered and the headlights do not illuminate. If the parking brake is released, the OFF mode is cancelled and the headlights illuminate.
