CHASSIS ELECTRICAL Lighting System
OPERATION
<Headlights ON operation>
l
Turn the lighting switch to “HEAD”, and the contact point
of the headlight relay will be closed to turn “ON” the
headlight relay.
l
When the dimmer switch is placed in the LO position, the
headlight low-beams go on. When the switch is placed in
the HI position, the headlight low-beams and high-beams
go on.
<High-beam indicator light>
l
When the high-beam is lit or when the passing switch is
activated, the high-beam indicator light will be lit.
<Light automatic shut-OFF system>
l
If the driver’s door is opened after the ignition switch is
turned to “OFF” or the ignition switch is turned to “OFF”
after the driver’s door is opened when the headlights are lit,
the current which flows to the coil side of the headlight
relay will be cut off by the light automatic shut-OFF unit
opening the contact point, and the headlight relay will be
turned “OFF” to automatically shut off the headlights.
l
To turn the headlights on again after they are automatically
shut off, turn the lighting switch to “OFF” once and then
back to “HEAD”, or turn the ignition switch to “ACC” or
“ON”, and the automatic shut-OFF will be cancelled and
the current will flow from the light automatic shut-OFF unit
to the coil side of the headlight relay again to close the
contact point. Thus, the headlight relay will be turned “ON”
to turn on the headlights.
NOTE
When the lighting switch is at “HEAD”, the light automatic
shut-OFF system is valid for tail lights, parking and side marker
lights, license plate light, illumination light, etc.
