Fog Light




GENERAL DESCRIPTION CONCERNING THE FRONT FOG LIGHTS

The following ECUs affect the functions and control of the front fog lights.






FRONT FOG LIGHT

Front fog light





The front fog lights will illuminate only when the front fog light switch is operated while the low-beam headlights are on.
The front fog lights will be switched off when any of the following conditions are met.
The front fog lights will also be switched off automatically by headlight automatic shutoff function.

- When the high-beam headlights are switched on, the front fog lights will be switched off. If the low-beam headlights are switched on again, the front fog lights will illuminate again.
- When the headlight switch is turned off or the taillights and headlights are off, the front fog lights will be switched off. If the low-beam headlights are switched on again, the front fog lights will not illuminate again.

FRONT FOG LIGHT INDICATOR

At the same time that the front fog lights are illuminated, the ETACS-ECU sends a signal to illuminate the front fog light indicator via the CAN bus line. The combination meter receives the transmitted signal and turns the front fog light indicator on and off.
