INTERIOR LIGHT AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF FUNCTION

OPERATION OF INTERIOR LIGHT AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF FUNCTION

This function prevents the battery from being discharged when the door is open or the dome light remains on with the ignition switch at the "LOCK" (OFF) position. The ETACS-ECU turns on its "keep" relay to switch off the battery power supply to the interior lights when the interior light loaded signal and all door switches remain on for approximately 30 minutes with the ignition switch at positions other than ACC. Then the interior lights will be switched off. If the ignition switch is turned on again, the ETACS-ECU turns on its "keep" relay to illuminate the interior lights.
