System Outline

Automatic Light Control OperationΒ 

The automatic light control system becomes active when the light control SW is turned to AUTO. The automatic light control sensor detects the ambient light levels around the vehicle. The system then automatically turns the tail lamps and headlamps on if the brightness is below the regular level and also turns the tail lamps and headlamps off when the surroundings become brighter than the regular level.
