2. AUTO LIGHT SENSOR

Overview

The auto light control is a system that turns on/off the tail
lamps and headlamps automatically. The auto light sensor is
installed on the instrument panel (passenger side). This sen-
sor detects the ambient brightness and automatically turns
on and off the tail lamps and headlamps while the light switch
is in AUTO position without light switch operations. The sys-
tem turns on and off the lamps when passing through the
tunnel during day driving and getting dark due to fog, rain or
snow.

Switch functions

1. Turn the ignition switch to “ON” position and turn the multifunction switch in order of OFF 

→ tail lamp → headlamp

→ AUTO.

2. Turn on and off the light switch.

3. Turn the light switch to “AUTO” position. At this moment, the tail lamps and headlamps come on and off automatically

when the brightness of light that reflected on the photodiode in the auto light sensor is the same as voltage that is
set by software in CPU.

4. When operating the tail lamp and headlamp switch manually again, the lamps comes on and off according to the

switch operations not by brightness of light that detected by sensor.

5. When the ignition key is removed, tail lamps and headlamps go off.
