EXTERIOR LAMPS

CONSTRUCTION DIAGRAM

• As for the headlamp assembly, projector type low-beam has been adopted. It employs the four-lamp integrated with the front turn-signal lamp and position lamp.
  
• Uncut lenses have been adopted to the headlamp lens for an improved appearance.
  
• The discharge headlamp for low-beam provides a much better view than ordinary halogen lamps. <Standard: Vehicles for Russia and 3800, Option: Except for Russia and 3800)>
  
• For the low-beam of the headlamp, the headlamp manual levelling system <Vehicle with halogen headlamp> (Refer to .) and the headlamp automatic levelling system <Vehicle with discharge headlamp> (Refer to .) have been adopted so that the height adjustment of the optical axis can be performed depending on the vehicle posture.
  
• The front fog lamp with no-cut lens has been adopted for better appearance. <Standard: GLS, Option: GLX>
  
• Two types of the side turn-signal lamp have been established: the one attached to the fender panel <GLX> and the one integrated into the door mirror <Standard: GLS, Option: GLX>.
  
• The approach lamp which illuminates the foot area when getting on/off has been integrated into the door mirror. <Standard: GLS, Option: GLX> has been established.
  
• The rear combination lamp assembly are integrated with the stop/tail lamp, back-up lamp and turn-signal lamp.
  

  note	When the tail and turn lamp assembly which is optionally available for vehicles for England has been adopted, the turn-signal lamp inside the rear combination lamp assembly will not be installed.

• For the rear bumper, the tail and turn lamp assembly integrated with the tail lamp and turn-signal lamp has been attached. <Option: vehicles for England>
  
• On the upper area of the tailgate window glass, the high-mounted stop lamp has been attached.
  
• To the back door licence plate garnish, the licence plate lamp and rear fog lamp have been installed.
  
• The lighting system is provided with auto lamp function (Refer to ), headlamp automatic-shutdown function and daytime running lamp function (Refer to ).
  
• For the flasher timer function of turn-signal, the comfort flasher function has been adopted to improve the operability when changing lanes. When the turn-signal lamp switch (lighting switch) is operated for a short time, this function flashes the turn-signal lamp of the operated direction three times (Refer to ).

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION

AUTO LAMP FUNCTION

• The auto lamp function automatically turns ON/OFF the headlamp and tail lamp according to the headlamp (low-beam) and tail lamp illumination request signals which are sent from the lighting control sensor (lamp sensor) to the front-ECU via the CAN converter-ECU, when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position and the lighting switch is in the "AUTO" position.
  
• The lamp sensor and the rain sensor are incorporated into the lighting control sensor. The lamp sensor is used for the auto lamp function, and the rain sensor for the rain sensitive wiper function ^*.
  

  note	*: For the rain sensitive wiper function, refer to GROUP 51, Windshield Wiper and Washer .

• The lighting control sensor (lamp sensor) detects the front and surrounding brightness of the vehicle. With this detection, it is judged that the vehicle enters a tunnel or just drives under a bridge. When it is judged that the vehicle drives through a tunnel, the headlamp and tail lamp are automatically turned ON. When it is judged that the vehicle drives under a bridge, the headlamp and tail lamp are not turned ON automatically. When the vehicle surroundings get dark in case such as evening, the headlamp and tail lamp are automatically turned ON.
  
• The timing that the headlamp and tail lamp are automatically turned ON when the vehicle surroundings get dark in case such as evening can be adjusted by the customise function. (Refer to Customise Function .)
