HEADLAMP

HEADLAMP AUTOMATIC-SHUTDOWN FUNCTION (INITIAL CONDITION: WITH 
FUNCTION)

Even when the lighting switch (tail lamp switch or 
headlamp switch) is ON, the headlamp (including the 
tail lamps) turns off automatically with any of the fol-
lowing conditions to prevent the battery discharge 
caused by unattended operation.

• If the ignition switch is turned OFF with the light-

ing switch ON, the lamp turns off automatically 
after 3 minutes. If the driver's door is opened dur-
ing the 3 minutes, the lamp turns off after 1 sec-
ond.

• If the lighting switch is turned to the tail lamp posi-

tion or headlamp position from OFF with the igni-
tion switch OFF, the lamps do not turn off 
automatically.

NOTE: This function can be cancelled through cus-
tomisation (Refer to Customisation Function 

P.54A-20

).

AUTO LAMP FUNCTION (INITIAL 
CONDITION: ILLUMINATES IN 
STANDARD AMBIENT BRIGHTNESS) 
<vehicles with lighting control sensor or 
vehicles with LDW>

• Auto lamp function automatically turns ON/OFF 

the headlamp and tail lamp according to the sig-
nal from the lighting control sensor (lamp sensor) 
attached to the windshield when the lighting 
switch is in the AUTO position.

• The lamp sensor and the rain sensor are incorpo-

rated 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 

P.51-7

.

• The lighting control sensor (lamp sensor) detects 

the front and surrounding brightness of the vehi-
cle. With this detection, it is judged that the vehi-
cle 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 auto-
matically 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 auto-
matically turned ON.

• The timing that the headlamp and tail lamp are 

automatically turned ON when the vehicle sur-
roundings get dark in case such as evening can 
be adjusted by the customisation function. (Refer 
to Customisation Function 

P.54A-20
