System Description [09/2020 - 11/2021]

When the light control switch is in the AUTO position, the automatic light control system detects ambient light levels and controls the low beam headlights, parking lights, side marker lights, taillights and license plate lights.

The light auto turn-off system is used to prevent the exterior lights from being accidentally left on (headlights, taillights, parking lights, license plate lights and side marker lights).

• This system has the following functions.

The daytime running light system is designed to automatically illuminate the daytime running lights (high-intensity parking lights) during the daytime to make the vehicle more visible to other vehicles.

• This system is controlled by the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU).
• There are 2 LED type parking light circuits in each clearance light assembly. One is for a conventional low-intensity parking light that illuminates with the taillights, and the other is for the high-intensity parking light that is used for the DRL system.
• This system is enabled when the following conditions are met:
  • The engine switch is on (IG).
  • The engine speed signal is input (engine running).
  • The turn signal switch and hazard warning signal switch is off.
  • The light control switch is in the off, tail or AUTO position (and the low beam headlights are not turned on via the automatic light control system). (w/o DRL OFF Switch)
  • The light control switch is in the tail or AUTO position (and the low beam headlights are not turned on via the automatic light control system). (w/ DRL OFF Switch)
  • The parking brake operation signal is off.

When a wireless door unlock operation or entry door unlock operation is performed at nighttime, the parking lights illuminate for 15 seconds.

1. General
   • The outside handle foot light control consists primarily of the fade-in/fade-out/2 steps fade-out function and timer illumination function.
   • This control is controlled by the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU). According to various information, the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) performs fade-in/fade-out/2 steps fade-out control of the outside handle foot lights.
2. The outside handle foot light control has the following control functions:

1. The cornering light control ensures the visibility of the area ahead when driving around a corner by turning on the cornering light in the direction the vehicle is turning. The cornering lights are installed to the front bumper.
2. This control is controlled by the No. 1 headlight ECU sub-assembly.
3. The cornering lights operate as follows when the vehicle is being driven at 30 km/h (19 mph) or less with the low beam headlights illuminated.
   • When the turn signal switch is moved to the right turn position, the cornering light RH illuminates. When the turn signal switch moves to the neutral position, the cornering light RH will turn off.
   • When the turn signal switch is moved to the left turn position, the cornering light LH illuminates. When the turn signal switch moves to the neutral position, the cornering light LH will turn off.
   • When the steering wheel is turned 80 degrees or more to the right, the cornering light RH illuminates. When the steering wheel is returned to an angle 30 degrees or less, the cornering light RH will turn off.
   • When the steering wheel is turned 80 degrees or more to the left, the cornering light LH illuminates. When the steering wheel is returned to an angle 30 degrees or less, the cornering light LH will turn off.
