GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
Light-On Reminder
When the headlamp switch is in the parking lamps-on positions, voltage is applied to the chime module. With the headlamp switch on and the driver’s side door open, the module loses voltage. The module senses this change. If voltage is still available, it is applied to sound the chime. The chime can be turned off by turning the headlamp switch off or closing the driver's side door. To replace the chime module, refer to
Section 9E, Instrumentation/Driver Information.
Headlamps
The headlamps are controlled by the multifunction lever on the left side of the steering column. They will come on while the ignition key is in on position. If the headlamp switch is on and the ignition key is in ACC or LOCK position, the headlamp will be turned off automatically. Turning the headlamp switch to the first position turns on the parking lamps, the license plate lamps, and the instrument panel illumination. Turning the switch to the second position turns on all of the previous lamps and the headlamps. Turning the switch OFF turns off all the lamps.
The headlamps high beam and low beams are also controlled
by this lever. When the headlamps are on, pushing
the lever away from the driver until the switch clicks
changes the lamp from low beam to high beam. An indicator
lamp on the instrument cluster assembly will come
on when the high-beam headlamps are on. To return the
headlamps to low beams, pull the lever toward the driver.
The headlamps must be aimed for proper illumination of
the road. Headlamp aim should be checked whenever a
new headlamp assembly is installed or when service or
repairs to the front end may have disturbed the headlamp
assembly or its mountings.
Daytime Running Lamps
The daytime running lamps (DRL) will illuminate under
the following conditions:
- The ignition is ON.
- The light switch is off.
- The parking brake is released.
When the exterior lights are illuminated, the DRL will
turn off.
To turn the DRL off when idling, apply the parking brake.
Parking and Turn Signal Lamps
The parking lamps can be turned on by turning the headlamp
switch to the first position. The parking lamps can
be turned off by turning the switch off.
When the turn signals are activated, the appropriate turn
signal lamps flash to signal a turn. The front, the rear,
and the side turn signals work only when the ignition
is on.
The front and the rear turn signals are controlled by the
multifunction lever on the left side of the steering column.
Moving the lever all the way up or down past the
detent will turn on the turn signals. When the turn is
complete, the lever will automatically release, and the
front and the rear turn signals will stop flashing.
For changing lanes or shallow turns in which the steering
wheel does not turn far enough to cancel the signal,
move the signal to the first detent and hold it there. The
turn signal will cancel when the lever is released.
Fog Lamps
The fog lamp switch is on the instrument panel above
the audio system. To use the fog lamps, first turn on
the headlamps. Then, push the fog lamp switch. The indicator
light in the instrument cluster will illuminate
to indicate that the fog lamps are on. Push the switch
again to turn off the fog lamps. The indicator light will
then go off.
The fog lamps must be aimed for proper illumination
of the road. Fog lamp aim should be checked when a
new bulb is installed or if service or repairs to the front
end may have disturbed the fog lamp assembly or its
mountings.
Rear Combination Lamps
The taillamps, stoplamps, backup lamps, and turn signals
are one assembly.
Turning on either the headlamps or the parking lamps
will also turn on the taillamps. When the brake pedal is
pushed, the taillamps will glow more brightly to serve as
stoplamps.
Center High-Mounted Stoplamp
The center high-mounted stoplamp is in the rear window
and will come on when the brake pedal is pressed.
Backup Lamps
The backup lamps will come on when the transaxle is
shifted into reverse. On a vehicle with an automatic
transaxle, the backup lamps are activated by the park/
neutral position switch. On a vehicle with a manual
transaxle, they are activated by a reverse switch which
is part of the transaxle.
License Plate Lamps
The license plate lamps will come on when the headlamps
or the parking lamps are on. The license plate
lamps are mounted on the rear deck lid, above the license
plate.
Interior Courtesy Lamp
The courtesy lamp is located on the headliner and has
three positions. If the switch is in the center position, the
lamp will go on whenever a door is opened and go off
when it is closed. In the ON position, the lamp will stay
on until it is turned off. In the OFF position, the lamp will
not come on, even when a door is opened.
Illuminated Vanity Mirrors
An illuminated vanity mirrors is on the back of each sun
visor. The sun visors contain an internal switch. When
the mirror cover is opened, the switch is closed and the
vanity mirror bulbs illuminate. When the cover is closed,
the switch is opened and the vanity mirror bulbs turn off.
Ashtray Lamp and Cigar Lighter
An ashtray lamp is mounted above the ashtray. An illumination
ring lamp is mounted around the cigar lighter.
Both lamps come on when the parking lamps or the
headlamps are on.
Luggage Compartment Lamp
The luggage compartment lamp is under the deck lid sill
plate. It comes on whenever the luggage compartment
is opened.
Headlamp Leveling
The headlamp leveling switch is on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel. The headlamp leveling adjusts the headlamps up or down when the low-beam headlamps are ON. A headlamp leveling motor is attached to the rear of both headlamps. To replace the headlamp leveling switch, refer to
Section 9E, Instrumentation/Driver Information.
Battery Saver
The battery saver ensures that parking lamps are turned off even if the driver forgets to turn them off.
The parking lamp is turned on by headlamps switch after key-in switch is ON, then after if the user sets key-in switch OFF and opens the driver side door, the parking lamp is automatically cut.
Also at the state of key-in switch ON, when key-in switch is turned off after opens the driver side door, the parking lamp is automatically cut.
