Interior Room Lamp Timer Basic Operation
NOTE:
A: Sets the interior room lamp gradual brightening and dimming time.
B: Gradually brightens from 0% to 100% and gradually dims from 100% to 0% in 1 second.
 The interior room lamp turns ON and OFF (gradual brightening and dimming) by the interior room lamp
timer.
 BCM judges the vehicle condition with the following items. It activates the interior room timer.
- Ignition switch status
- Door switch signal (except back door)
- Door lock/unlock signal (remote keyless entry receiv er, each door request switch, door key cylinder switch,
door lock/unlock switch)
NOTE:
Each function of interior room lamp ti mer can be set by CONSULT-III. Refer to INL-14, "
INT LAMP : CON-
SULT-III Function (BCM - INT LAMP)".
Interior Room Lamp ON Operation
 BCM always turns the interior room lamp ON when any door opens excepting back door.
 When all doors are closed, and any all door unlock operation is performed or ignition switch is turned OFF,
BCM brightens interior room lamp to 30% bri ghtness and maintains 30% brightness until any door opens.
 BCM activates the interior room timer in any of the fo llowing conditions to turn the interior room lamp ON for
a period of time.
- Any door opens before all doors close excepting back door.
- Ignition switch is turned ON → OFF.
- Any door unlock signal is detected when all doors cl ose excepting back door with ignition switch OFF.
NOTE:
The timer restarts if new condition is input during the timer operating time.

ILLUMINATION CONTROL
 BCM detects the combination switch conditi on by the combination switch reading function.
 BCM transmits position light request signal to IPDM E/R and combination meter according to tail lamp ON
condition.
Tail lamp ON condition- Lighting switch 1ST
- Lighting switch 2ND
- Lighting switch AUTO, and the auto light function ON judgment
- Lighting switch AUTO, with the front fog lamp switch ON and the ignition switch ON
 IPDM E/R turns the integrated tail lamp relay ON acco rding to position light request signal. It provides the
power supply to each illumination lamp.
 Combination meter enters in the nighttime mode accord ing to position light request signal. Under the night-
time mode the combination meter controls the illu minance by controlling each illumination lamp (ground
