SYSTEM
AUTO LIGHT ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM
The auto light adjustment system automatically, dims/bri
ghtens the display and combination meter, according
to brightness outside the vehicle, when lighting switch 1ST or lighting switch 2ND is operated. Refer to INL-11,
"AUTO LIGHT ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM : System Description".
DELAY TIMER FUNCTION
BCM turns the exterior lamp OFF depending on the vehicle condition with the auto light function when the igni-
tion switch is turned OFF.
 Turns the exterior lamp OFF 5 minutes afte r detecting that any door opens. (Door switch ON).
 Turns the exterior lamp OFF a certain period of time* after closing all doors. (Door switch ON →OFF).
 Turns the exterior lamp OFF with the igni tion switch ACC or the light switch OFF.
*: The preset time is 45 seconds. The timer operat ing time can be set by CONSULT-III. Refer to EXL-23,
"HEADLAMP : CONSULT-III Function (BCM - HEAD LAMP)".
NOTE:
When any position other than the light switch AUTO is set, the auto light system function switches to the exte-
rior lamp battery saver function.
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYSTEM

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYSTEM : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006214029
OUTLINE
 Turns the front fog lamp ON as the daytime running light.
 Daytime running light is controlled by daytime runni ng light control function and combination switch reading
function of BCM, and relay c ontrol function of IPDM E/R.
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT OPERATION
 BCM detects the combination switch conditi on by the combination switch reading function.
 BCM detects the vehicle condition depending on the following signals.
- Parking brake switch signal (received from combination meter via CAN communication)
 BCM transmits the front fog light request signal to IPDM E/R via CAN communication according to the day-
time running light ON condition.
Daytime running light ON condition- While the engine running with the parking brake released
- Lighting switch OFF
- Lighting switch AUTO (auto light function OFF judgment)
- Passing switch OFF
- Front fog lamp switch OFF
 IPDM E/R turns the integrated front fog lamp relay ON and turns the front fog lamp ON according to the front
fog light request signal.

 Bleed air in the following
order: motor/accumulator assembly → front right brake → front left brake
→ rear left brake → and rear right brake.
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Depress the brake pedal 20 times or more.
3. Check that there is no foreign material in t he reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid.
CAUTION:
 Never reuse drained brake fluid.
 Never allow oils other than brake fl uid to enter the reservoir tank.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON. NOTE:
The motor is activated and automatically stops.
5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
6. Depress the brake pedal 20 times or more. NOTE:
The pressure loss in the accumulator results in a large brake pedal stroke. In addition to this, the brake
pedal depression becomes lighter in initial stage.
7. Repeat steps 4 to 6 for 5 times.
8. Turn the ignition switch ON to check that the time between motor activation and automatic stop is less
than 18 seconds. If the time is 18 seconds or more, repeat from Step 4 to 8.
FRONT BRAKE
CAUTION:
 If the brake fluid adheres to the brake caliper assembly and disc rotor, quickly wipe it off.
 Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it
off immediately and wash with wate r if it gets on a painted surface.
 Never operate the brake pedal with the reservoir cap removed. Failure to do this may cause the scat-
tering of brake fluid.
 Never operate the brake pedal excessively during the work procedure.
 Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir tank while performing the air bleeding.
 Bleed air in the following order: motor/accumulator assembly → front right brake → front left brake
→ rear left brake → and rear right brake.
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Depress the brake pedal 20 times or more. NOTE:
The pressure loss in the accumulator results in a large brake pedal stroke. In addition to this, the brake
pedal depression becomes lighter in initial stage.
3. Check that there is no foreign material in t he reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid.
CAUTION:
 Never reuse drained brake fluid.
 Never allow oils other than brake fl uid to enter the reservoir tank.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON.
5. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleed valve.
6. Depress the brake pedal and loosen the bleeder valve.
7. Repeat steps 1 to 6 until all of the air is out of the brake line and tighten the air bleeder to the specified
torque with the brake pedal depressed. Refer to BR-36, "
BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : Exploded View".
8. Check that no drag feel is present for the front disc brake. Refer to BR-39, "
BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY
: Inspection".
9. Check each item of brake pedal. Adjust it if t he measurement value is not the standard. Refer to BR-7,
"Inspection and Adjustment".
REAR BRAKE
CAUTION:
 If the brake fluid adheres to the brake caliper assembly and disc rotor, quickly wipe it off.
 Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it
off immediately and wash with wate r if it gets on a painted surface.
 Never operate the brake pedal with the reservoir cap removed. Failure to do this may cause the scat-
tering of brake fluid.

 Never operate the brake pedal excessively during the work procedure.
 Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir tank while performing the air bleeding.
 Bleed air in the following order: motor/accumulator assembly → front right brake → front left brake
→ rear left brake → and rear right brake.
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Depress the brake pedal 20 times or more. NOTE:
The pressure loss in the accumulator results in a large brake pedal stroke. In addition to this, the brake
pedal depression becomes lighter in initial stage.
3. Check that there is no foreign material in the reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid. CAUTION:
 Never reuse drained brake fluid.
 Never allow oils other than brake fluid to enter the reservoir tank.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON.
5. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleed valve.
6. Depress the brake pedal and loosen the bleeder valve.
7. Depress and hold the brake pedal depression to dischar ge 100 cc of brake fluid before tightening the air
bleeder to the specified torque. Refer to BR-42, "
BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : Exploded View".
NOTE:
Since brake fluid is conveyed by the motor, the brake pedal is not necessarily depressed.
8. Release the brake pedal.
9. Repeat steps 1 to 8 until all of the air is out of the brake line and tighten the air bleeder to the specified
torque with the brake pedal depressed. Refer to BR-42, "
BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : Exploded View".
10. Check that no drag feel is present for the rear disc brake. Refer to BR-45, "
BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY
: Inspection".
11. Check each item of brake pedal. Adjust it if t he measurement value is not the standard. Refer to BR-7,
"Inspection and Adjustment".
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL ADJUSTMENT AFTER AIR BLEEDING
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Depress the brake pedal 20 times or more.
NOTE:
The pressure loss in the accumulator results in a large brake pedal stroke. In addition to this, the brake
pedal depression becomes lighter in initial stage.
3. Adjust brake fluid level to the reservoir tank MAX line. CAUTION:
Never adjust with the ignition switch ON.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON.
5. Check that the reservoir tank brake fluid level is 4 − 12 mm (0.16
− 0.47 in) lower than the MAX line.
NOTE:
Since brake fluid is in the accumulator in pressurized condition,
the reservoir tank brake fluid level should be lower than the MAX
line.
