(5) Auto light (LIN)
The auto light sensor unit is installed to the back side of the ECM mirror located upper center of the
windshield, and detects the illuminance change. The BCM communicates with the auto light sensor
when the ignition is turned on, and turns on or off the tail lamp and headlamp automatically according to
the signals from the sensor when the multifunction switch is set to AUTO light.
The BCM communicates with the rain sensor even if the multifunction switch is in tail lamp.

Side repeater lamp
The side repeater lamp is operated by the BCM when the BCM receives a signal from the multifunction
switch.
The BCM cycles the side repeater lamp and buzzer (ON/OFF) 75 times per minute.
The side repeater lamp operates only when IGN1 is ON.
If the side repeater lamp fails while it is illuminated, the BCM cycles the lamp and buzzer 100 times per
minute.

off
during this operation, the lamp flashes 3 times and then goes off.
