REAR WIPER AND WASHER
Rear Wiper Operation
If the rear wiper switch is turned to the ON position
with the ignition switch at ACC or ON position, the
ETACS-ECU cause the rear wiper to operate
continuously two times then intermittently at
eight-second intervals.
If the shift lever <M/T> selector lever <A/T> is moved
to the R position when the rear wiper switch is turned
to the ON position and the ignition switch at ACC
or ON position, back-up lamp switch <M/T> or
inhibitor switch R <A/T> turns ON. One second later,
the ETACS-ECU causes the rear wiper to operate
two times continuously to ensure good rearward
visibility. The ETACS-ECU then causes the rear
wiper to again operate intermittently at eight-second
intervals.
Rear Washer Operation
If the rear washer switch is turned to the ON position
with the ignition switch at ACC or ON position, the
rear washer ON signal is sent to the ETACS-ECU,
causing the rear wiper signal to turn on after 0.3
seconds. After the rear washer switch signal turns
off, the rear wiper signal turns off in three seconds.
If the rear wiper switch is turned to the ON position
while the rear wiper is at intermittent mode, the
rear washer works for that period when the washer
switch remains on. Then the rear wipers return to
the intermittent mode.
HEADLAMP WASHER
If the headlamp washer switch of the column switch
assembly is turned to the ON position with the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, the
front-ECU turns on the headlamp washer relay.
HEADLAMP
Headlamp Auto-cut Function
If the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (OFF) or
ACC position, when the headlamps are on, the
headlamps will be switched off in three minutes.
If the driver's door is opened within that three-minute
period, the headlamps will be switched off
automatically. This prevents the battery from
discharged.
In addition, if the headlamps are turned on when
the ignition switch is at LOCK (OFF) or ACC position,
the headlamps will not be switched off.
Headlamp Dimmer Switch Auto-reset
Function
This function allows the dimmer switch to be reset
to the low-beam position whenever the headlamp
switch is turned ON.
Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) Function
If the ignition switch is turned to ON when the
headlamps and tail lamps are off, the headlamps
(low-beam) and tail lamps turn on.
FLASHER TIMER
Turn-signal Lamp
When the ignition switch is turned to ON position
and turn-signal lamp switch is placed in the ON
position for right or left turn signaling, the system
generates turn-signal lamp drive signals (flashing
signals).
The system also notifies of a blown turn-signal lamp
bulb by shortening the flashing intervals of the
corresponding indicator lamp.
Hazard Warning Lamp
The system detects a change from ON to OFF of
the hazard lamp input signal and activates the
hazard lamps if they are not in operation or
deactivates the lamps if they are operating (reversal
of state between activation and deactivation).
FRONT FOG LAMP
The front fog lamp switch becomes active only when
the tail lamps are on. Therefore, if the tail lamps
are turned off, the fog lamps will also be switched off. Whenever the tail lamps are turned on at the
next time, the front fog lamps will always be off
regardless of the switch positions.
REAR FOG LAMP
The rear fog lamp switch becomes active only when
the headlamps or front fog lamps* are on. Therefore,
if the headlamps and front fog lamps* are turned
off, the rear fog lamps will also be switched off.
Whenever the headlamps or front fog lamps* are turned on at the next time, the rear fog lamps will
always be off regardless of the switch positions.
NOTE
*:
In vehicles without front fog lamps, these
conditions apply to the headlamps only.
