BATTERY SAVER CONTROLNBEL0188S04When the ignition switch is turned from ON (or START) to OFF (or ACC) positions while headlamps illuminate,
the RAP signal is supplied to terminal 10 of the headlamp battery saver control unit from smart entrance con-
trol unit terminal 5.
After counting 45 seconds by the RAP signal from the smart entrance control unit to headlamp battery saver
control unit, the ground supply to terminal 2 of the headlamp LH and RH relay from headlamp battery saver
control unit terminals 2 and 8 is terminated.
Then the headlamps are turned off.
The headlamps are turned off when driver or passenger side door is opened even if 45 seconds have not
passed after ignition switch is turned from ON (or START) to OFF (or ACC) positions while headlamps are
illuminated.
When the lighting switch is turned from OFF to 2ND after headlamps are turned to off by the battery saver
control, ground is supplied

XENON HEADLAMP=NBEL0188S07Xenon type headlamp is adopted to the low beam headlamps. Xenon bulbs do not use a filament. Instead,
they produce light when a high voltage current is passed between two tungsten electrodes through a mixture
of xenon (an inert gas) and certain other metal halides. In addition to added lighting power, electronic control
of the power supply gives the headlamps stable quality and tone color.
Following are some of the many advantage of the xenon type headlamp.
IThe light produced by the headlamps is white color approximating sunlight that is easy on the eyes.
ILight output is nearly double that of halogen headlamps, affording increased area of illumination.
IThe light features a high relative spectral distribution at wavelengths to the human eye is most sensitive,
which means that even in the rain, more light is reflected back from the road surface toward the vehicle,
for added visibility.
IPower consumption is approximately 25 percent less than halogen headlamps, reducing battery load.
