AUTO LAMP FUNCTION (INITIAL CONDITION: ILLUMINATES IN STANDARD AMBIENT
BRIGHTNESS) <Vehicles with photo sensor>

When the lighting switch is turned to the AUTO posi-
tion with the ignition switch turned to the ON position,
the ETACS-ECU controls the tail lamp relay and
headlamp relay output depending on the photo sen-
sor voltage (varies with the ambient brightness) and
automatically controls ON/OFF operation of the tail
lamp and headlamp.

Headlamp and tail lamp illumination conditions

• With the photo sensor voltage being at the tail

lamp ON voltage or less, when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON position and the lighting
switch to the AUTO position, the headlamp and
tail lamp illuminate.

• When the ignition switch is in the ON position and

the lighting switch in the AUTO position, if the
vehicle is driven for 15 m with the photo sensor
voltage being at the tail lamp ON voltage or less,
or the status continues for 3 seconds, the head-
lamp and tail lamp illuminate.

• When the ignition switch is in the ON position and

the lighting switch in the AUTO position, if the
vehicle is driven for 15 m with the photo sensor
voltage being at the headlamp ON voltage or
less, or the status continues for 1 second, the
headlamp and tail lamp illuminate.

Tail lamp and headlamp turning OFF condition

• With the photo sensor voltage being at the tail

lamp OFF voltage or more, when the vehicle is
driven for 15 m or the status continues for 3 sec-
onds, the headlamp and tail lamp go out.

NOTE:

1. If a malfunction such as open circuit occurs to the

auto-light sensor, the headlamp is kept ON by the
fail-safe function.

2. Through customisation, the sensitivity of

auto-light sensor can be adjusted (Refer to Cus-
tomisation Function

P.54A-20

3. To reduce the electrical load at cranking, head-

lamp illumination is prohibited for 3 seconds after
the ignition key is turned ON while the engine is
not running (for the cranking of 3 seconds or less,
the headlamp is illuminated after the cranking
operation is completed).

WIPER-LINKED AUTO LAMP FUNCTION (INITIAL CONDITION: WITHOUT FUNCTION)
<Vehicles with photo sensor>

When the lighting switch is in AUTO position, the
headlamp will illuminate 3 seconds after the wind-
shield wiper has been turned on.

NOTE: Using a customisation function, this function
can be enabled or disabled. For more information
about the customisation function. (Refer to Customi-
sation Function

P.54A-20

DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP FUNCTION

The ETACS-ECU illuminates the low-beam head-
lamps when the ignition switch is turned "ON" with
the headlamp switch is at the "OFF" or "TAIL" posi-
tion. It illuminates the low-beam headlamps at a nor-
mal brightness when the headlamps are turned on
with the daytime running lamp on.

WELCOME LIGHT FUNCTION (INITIAL
CONDITION: TAIL LAMP ILLUMINATES)

When the lighting switch is in the OFF or AUTO posi-
tion, unlock operation by the keyless entry system
lights up the tail lamp or headlamp. The lighting con-
trol sensor operates at nighttimes only.

NOTE: Using the customisation function, it is possi-
ble to adjust that either the tail lamp or headlamp
lights up. For more information about the customisa-
tion function feature, refer to

P.54A-20

COMING HOME LIGHT FUNCTION
(INITIAL CONDITION: 30 SECONDS)

When the ignition switch is in the LOCK (OFF) posi-
tion, passing operation lights up the headlamp for a
certain period.

FLASHER TIMER FUNCTION

TURN-SIGNAL LAMP (INITIAL CONDI-
TION: TURN SIGNAL LAMP CAN BE
OPERATED WHEN THE IGNITION
SWITCH IS IN THE ON POSITION)

When the turn-signal lamp switch is ON (LH or RH)
with the ignition switch is ON, the turn-signal lamp
output (flash signal) is turned ON.
If the lamp bulb of the front or rear turn-signal lamp
has burned out, the flashing speed becomes faster to
alert the driver that the lamp bulb has burned out.

NOTE: Using a customisation function, this function
becomes available even when the ignition switch is
in the ACC position. For more information about the
customisation feature. (Refer to Customisation Func-
tion

P.54A-20

COMFORT FLASHER FUNCTION (INITIAL
CONDITION: WITH FUNCTION)

With the ignition switch in the ON position, when the
turn signal switch is turned ON momentarily (0.4 sec-
ond or less), ETACS-ECU turns ON the turn signal
lamp output, and flashes the turn signal lamp three
times.

NOTE: Using the customisation function, "with func-
tion/without function" of the comfort flasher function
and the switch acceptance time can be set. For more
information about the customisation function. (Refer
to Customisation Function

P.54A-20

HAZARD WARNING LAMP

ETACS-ECU detects the signal that changes the
hazard lamp switch from OFF to ON, and reverses
the flashing state by the signal (to the flashing state
when the hazard lamp is not flashing, and to the
turned OFF state when flashing).

NOTE:

1. The push-return switch has been adopted for the

hazard lamp switch.

2. Even if the lamp bulb has burned out, the flashing

speed of the hazard lamp is not changed.

ESS (EMERGENCY STOP SIGNAL

SYSTEM)

When the ETACS-ECU receives the ESS activation
request signal from the ABS-ECU or the ASC-ECU, it
flashes the turn-signal lamps at high speed to inform
the following car that the driver is applying the brake
suddenly.

NOTE: *: For further details on the ESS, refer to

FOG LAMP

FRONT FOG LAMP FUNCTION

When the fog lamp switch is turned to ON with the
tail lamp or the headlamp lit (the tail lamp switch or
the headlamp switch is ON), the front fog lamp relay
turns ON, and the front fog lamps turn on.
If the tail lamp or the headlamp is turned off with the
lighting switch OFF while the front fog lamps lit, the
front fog lamps turn off the same time to prevent
unattended operation.

If the tail lamp is turned off by the headlamp auto-
matic-shutdown function, the front fog lamps turn off
at the same time. However, if the tail lamps turn on
again, the front fog lamps do not.

REAR FOG LAMP FUNCTION

If the fog lamp switch is turned ON while the front fog
lamp is ON, the rear fog lamp illuminates. The rear
fog lamp is switched ON or OFF by turning on or off
the fog lamp switch.

If the tail lamp is turned OFF, the front fog lamp and
the rear fog lamp are turned OFF at the same time.
