System DescriptionNBEL0192The headlamp system for Canada vehicles contains a daytime light control unit that activates the high beam
headlamps at approximately half illumination whenever the engine is running. If the parking brake is applied
before the engine is started the daytime lights will not be illuminated. The daytime lights will illuminate once
the parking brake is released. Thereafter, the daytime lights will continue to operate when the parking brake
is applied.
And battery saver system is controlled by the headlamp battery saver control unit and smart entrance control
unit.

BATTERY SAVER CONTROLNBEL0192S02When the ignition switch is turned from ON (or START) to OFF (or ACC) positions while headlamps are
illuminated, The RAP signal is supplied to terminal 10 of the headlamp battery saver control unit from smart
entrance control unit terminal 5.
After counting 45 seconds by the RAP signal from the smart entrance control unit to headlamp battery saver
control unit, the ground supply to terminal 2 of headlamp LH and RH relays from headlamp battery saver con-
trol unit terminals 2 and 8 is terminated.
Then headlamps are turned off.
The headlamps are turned off when LH or RH door is opened even if 45 seconds have not passed after the
ignition switch is turned from ON (or START) to OFF (or ACC) positions while headlamps are illuminated.
When the lighting switch is turned from OFF to 2ND after headlamps are turned to off by the battery saver
control, ground is supply
Ito headlamp battery saver control unit terminals 5 and 13 from lighting switch terminal 11, and
Ito headlamp LH and RH relays terminal 2 from headlamp battery saver control unit terminals 2 and 8
Ithrough headlamp battery saver control unit terminals 3 and 9, and
Ithrough lighting switch terminal 12.
Then headlamps illuminate again.
