DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Exterior Lighting
The headlamp unit consists of two
compartments. The turn signal and the high and
low beam, side lights are contained in two
separate compartments.
High and low beams each use a HB3LL bulb.
Both bulbs are switched on for high beam.
NOTE: Only use original equipment bulbs in
service.
The turn signal lamp consists of an orange lens
and a clear bulb.
Headlamp System
The headlamp system consists of:
• Two headlamp assemblies,
• A multifunction switch on the steering column,
• Low beam relay,
• High beam relay,
• Turn signal and low beam switch,
• High beam display,
• Wiring harness,
• Fuses.
The voltage to the multifunction switch is supplied
through fuse F9 and the ignition switch. Fuse F9
is located in the central junction box (CJB).
When the headlamps are switched on, a voltage
is supplied to the high and low beam switch and
to the coil of the low beam relay. The low beam
relay is located in the CJB.
CAUTION: The voltage supply to the low
beam relay, Pin 5, is not fused.
If the main and low beam switch is set to “low
beam", then a voltage is supplied through the low
beam relay to the low beam bulb.
The left and right-hand low beams are fused
separately through fuses F10 and F11. These
fuses are located in the CJB.
CAUTION: The voltage supply to the high
beam relay, Pin 5, is not fused.
If the high and low beam switch is set to “high
beam", then a voltage is supplied via the high
beam relay to the high beam bulb. The left and
right-hand high beams are fused separately
through fuses F21 and F22. These fuses are
located in the CJB.
Multifunction switch
The multifunction switch has the following
settings for the exterior lights:
• Off,
• Side lamps,
• Driving lamps, set to either
- Low beam or
- High beam,
• Headlamp flash.
If the multifunction switch is set to “side lamps",
then a voltage is supplied to the front and rear
side lamps, as well as to the license plate lamp.
Low beam and high beam can only be switched
on if the ignition is switched on. If the switch is
set to “low beam", the low beam relay is activated
first, which then switches the voltage to the bulbs.
If the switch is set to “high beam" or “headlamp
flash", the high beam relay is activated first,
which then switches the voltage to the bulbs.
Side lamps
• The voltage to the side lamps is switched
through the multifunction switch on the left-
hand side of the steering column.
• The circuits for left and right-hand side are
fused separately through fuses F6 and F7 in
the CJB.
• The lamps are in operation when the switch is
set to “side lamps" or “driving lamps".
License plate lamps
There is one license plate lamp to illuminate the
license plate. The lamp is supplied with a voltage
through fuse F7.
The license plate lamp illuminates when the
switch is set to “side lamps" or “driving lamps".
Stop lamp switch
The stop lamp switch is installed underneath the
instrument panel on the brake pedal bracket. It
switches the voltage to the stop lamps through
fuse F13 in the CJB.
