Ithrough 10A fuse [No. 9, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
Ground is supplied
Ito headlamp battery saver control unit terminals 4 and 11
Ithrough body grounds M77 and M111, and M4,M66 and M147
Ito auto light control unit terminal 5
Ithrough body grounds M4, M66 and M147.
Power Supply to Low Beam and High BeamNBEL0188S0101When lighting switch is in 2ND or PASS position, ground is supplied
Ito headlamp relay (LH and RH) terminal 2 from headlamp battery saver control unit terminals 2 and 8
Ithrough headlamp battery saver control unit terminals 3 and 9,
Ifrom lighting switch terminal 12.
Headlamp relays (LH and RH) are energized and then power is supplied to headlamps (LH and RH).
LOW BEAM OPERATIONNBEL0188S02When the lighting switch is turned to the 2ND position and placed in LOW (ªBº) position, power is supplied
Ifrom terminal 7 of each headlamp relay
Ito terminal 3 of each headlamp
Ground is supplied
Ito terminal 4 of each headlamp
Ithrough body grounds E13 and E41.
With power and ground supplied, the headlamp(s) will illuminate.
HIGH BEAM OPERATION/FLASH-TO-PASS OPERATIONNBEL0188S03When the lighting switch is turned to the 2ND position and placed in HIGH (ªAº) position or PASS (ªCº) position,
power is supplied
Ifrom terminal 5 of headlamp LH relay
Ito terminal 1 of headlamp LH, and
Ito combination meter terminal 26 for the HIGH BEAM indicator
Ifrom terminal 5 of headlamp RH relay

With power and ground supplied, the high beams and the high beam indicator illuminate.
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

Ito headlamp LH and RH relays terminal 2 from headlamp battery saver control unit terminals 2 and 8
Ithrough headlamp battery saver control unit terminals 3 and 9, and
Ithrough lighting switch terminal 12.
Then headlamps illuminate again.
AUTO LIGHT OPERATIONNBEL0188S05When lighting switch is in ªAUTOº position, ground is supplied
Ito auto light control unit terminal 10
Ifrom lighting switch terminal 42.
When ignition switch is turn to ªONº or ªSTARTº position and outside brightness is darker than prescribed level.

Then both headlamp relays and tail lamp relay are energized, headlamps (low or high) and tail lamps are illu-
minate according to switch position.
Auto light operation allows headlamps and tail lamps to go off when
IIgnition switch is turned to ªOFFº position or
IOutside brightness is brighter than prescribed level.
NOTE:
The delay time is varies up to maximum of 20 seconds as the outside brightness changes.
For parking, license and tail lamp auto operation, refer to ªPARKING, LICENSE AND TAIL LAMPSº.
THEFT WARNING SYSTEMNBEL0188S06The theft warning system will flash the low beams if the system is triggered. Refer to ªTHEFT WARNING

HEADLAMP (FOR USA) Ð XENON TYPE Ð
System Description (Cont'd)
EL-33

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.
