Regardless of the position of the light
switch, when holding the lever toward the
steering wheel, the headlights are on high
beam during the hold.Front fog lamp switch
To turn on the fog lights, turn this

Luminous intensity is a measure for the amount of light which passes through the unit area per
time unit. The SI unit of luminous intensity is the candela (cd), an SI base unit. -Luminous Intensity
Luminance describes the amount of light that passes through or is emitted from a particular area,
and falls within a given solid angle. It is measured in sb or nt. -Luminance
This indicates the amount of light reaching a given area. Measuring unit is lux (lx) and it is not
directly proportional to the brightness of the area as the reflection rate is not included. -Intensity of illumination
The LED stands for "Light Emitting Diode" or "Luminescent Diode." LED is a semiconductor diode
that emits incoherent narrow-spectrum light when electrically biased in the forward direction of the
p-n junction, as in the common LED circuit. In short, it is an element that converts electric signals
into light signals. Yellow, blue, red and white LEDs are currently available.
The followings are the advantages of LED.
It is not glaring and doesn't have short circuit unlike the conventional lamps.
It is semi-permanent and doesn't generate heat.
Its power consumption is much lower than those of conventional bulbs. -

3) Operating Process
(1) Headlamp (high/low beam) operation process
The headlamp is usually operated by the multifunction switch or by the REKES or smart key through the
BCM.
The BCM controls the headlamp and tail lamp according to the signal from the AUTO light sensor
through LIN communication when the multifunction switch is in "AUTO" position.
Headlamp - low beam
Headlamp - high beam
DRL (Day Time Running Light)
DRL is the function to turn on the high beam and tail lamp without any intervention from the light
switch. DRL turns off the lamps when turning off the light switch. This is an additional safety device to
prevent the accident.

(3) 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.

Control by BCM
The rain sensor & AUTO light module communicates with BCM with IGN ON. When the AUTO light
switch is in the AUTO position, the BCM controls the tail lamp and headlamp according to the LIN
communication data.

1. WIPER CONTROL
2. CAUTIONS ON RAIN SENSOR
When the wiper switch is in the AUTO position, the wiper will operate for 1 cycle if the initial engine
start is made. This may cause the wiper blades to wear prematurely. Therefore, other than rainy
days, set the switch to the OFF position. Especially during the winter time, check if the wiper blades
are not frozen to the windshield.
Operating the wiper with the blades frozen can damage the wiper motor.
If you operate the wipers when the windshield is dry without spraying washer fluid, the windshield
can be scratched and the wiper blades can wear prematurely. Use the wiper with the washer fluid
when the windshield is dry.
When it does not rain, turn the wiper switch to the OFF position.
Turn the wiper switch to the OFF position before any car wash to avoid unwanted operation of the
wipers. -

Check if the sensor is off the position.
Check if the rain sensor cover is securely installed.
Check if the customer is familiar to how to control the wiper sensitivity.
Check if the wiper sensitivity control is set to the FAST side (step 5).
Check the wiper blade for wear.
If the wiper blade cannot wipe the glass uniformly and clearly, it may cause the rain sensor to work
irregularly. Therefore, in this case, replace the wiper blade with a new one. -

-Irregular operation (abrupt operation)
When cleaning the windshield over the sensor with damp clothes, the wiper may operate suddenly. It
could cause serious injury. Make sure to place the wiper switch to the OFF position and ignition switch
OFF when not in use.

2. RAIN SENSING SYSTEM
In the rain sensing wiper operation system, the rain sensing unit only sends the information about the
amount of rain drops to the BCM, and it does not operate the wiper directly. The wiper and washer are
controlled by the BCM according to the driver's choice.
This sensor emits infrared rays through LED
and then detects the amount of rain drops
by receiving the rays reflected off the
sensing section (rain sensor mounting
section on the windshield) with photodiode.AUTO: Wiper operates automatically by rain

BCM
The rain sensor detects the amount of rain drops and sends the operating request signal to the BCM,
which drives the wiper directly. At this moment, the BCM also sends the information on whether the
wiper is in operation mode or whether the multifunction wiper switch is in AUTO position to the rain
sensor.
