- Ignition switch OFF or ACC
 The combination meter receives the following signals to control meter illumination.
METER ILLUMINATION CONTROL FUNCTION
 The combination meter controls meter illumination, based on the following signal.
- Dimmer signal
 The combination meter switches mode between Daytim e mode and Nighttime mode, according to the fol-
lowing conditions.
*: For further information, refer to INL-11, "
AUTO LIGHT ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM : System Description".
 The operation of the illumination control switch allo ws the brightness adjustment of meter illumination.

SYSTEM
When recognizing an engine start, the combination meter controls the following items for producing the effect.
 Speedometer
 Tachometer
 Engine coolant temperature gauge
 Fuel gauge
 Engine oil pressure gauge
 Voltmeter
 Meter illumination
Meter and Illumination Operations During Engine-start Effect
The combination meter controls the following items during the engine-start effect.
NOTE:
The pointers are stopped and illumination is turned off while cranking the engine.
Engine Start Judgement
The combination meter judges “engine-start” and activates the engine-start effect only once when the follow-
ing operational conditions are all satisfied.
NOTE:
Engine-start effect exits when any of the above operat ional conditions is cancelled during the engine-start
effect.
Signal path
The combination meter judges “engine-start,” according to the following signals and activates the engine-start
effect function.
DRIVER WELCOME FUNCTION

IGNITION RELAY MALFUNCTION DETECTION FUNCTION
 IPDM E/R monitors the voltage at the contact circuit and
excitation coil circuit of the ignition relay inside it.
 IPDM E/R judges the ignition relay error if the volt age differs between the contact circuit and the excitation
coil circuit.
 If the ignition relay cannot turn OFF due to contact seizure, it activates the tail lamp relay for 10 minutes to alert the user to the ignition relay malfunc tion when the ignition switch is turned OFF.
FRONT WIPER PROTECTION FUNCTION
IPDM E/R detects front wiper stop position by a front wiper stop position signal.
When a front wiper stop position signal is in the conditi ons listed below, IPDM E/R stops power supply to wiper
after repeating a front wiper 10 seconds activation and 20 seconds stop.
NOTE:
This operation status can be confirmed on the IPDM E/ R “Data Monitor” that displays “BLOCK” for the item
“WIP PROT” while the wiper is stopped.
STARTER MOTOR PROTECTION FUNCTION
IPDM E/R turns OFF the starter control relay to protect the starter motor when the starter control relay remains
active for 90 seconds.

turned OFF while the front wiper is operating at LO or HI speed.
 The wiper is operated at LO speed until the ignition switch is turned OFF if the fail-safe con- trol is activated while the front wiper is set in the INT mode and the front wiper motor is op-
erating.
 Return automatically wiper to stop position when ignition switch is turned ON if fail-safe con- trol is activated while front wiper motor is operated and wiper stops in the other position than
stop position.
