Ithrough headlamp battery saver control unit terminals 5 and 13, and
Ithrough auto light control unit terminal 7.
Tail lamp relay is then energized and the parking, license and tail lamps illuminate.
BATTERY SAVER CONTROLNBEL0162S02When the ignition switch is turned from ON (or START) to OFF (or ACC) positions while parking, license and
tail lamps are illuminated, the RAP signal is supplied to terminal 10 of the headlamp battery saver control unit
from smart entrance control 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 1 of the tail lamp relay from headlamp battery saver control unit
terminals 6 and 14 is terminated.
Then the parking, license and tail lamps are turned off.
The parking, license and tail lamps are turned off when driver or passenger side door is opened even if 45
seconds have not passed after the ignition switch is turned from ON (or START) to OFF (or ACC) positions
while parking, license and tail lamps are illuminated.
When the lighting switch is turned from OFF to 1ST (or 2ND) after the parking, license and tail lamps are turned
off by the battery saver control, ground is supplied.
Ito headlamp battery saver control unit terminals 5 and 13 from lighting switch terminal 11, and
Ito tail lamp relay terminal 1 from headlamp battery saver control unit terminals 6 and 14.
