(HEADLIGHT SYSTEM)
Description ± Headlight System
The component parts of this system and their function are described in the \
following table.
Parts NameFunction
Light Control SwitchGrounds current from the headlight control relay and taillight control r\
elay via the
integration relay, switching each relay and supplying current to the appropriate bulbs
accordance with the switch position.
Dimmer SwitchGrounds current from the dimmer relay in accordance with the switch posi\
tion, turning
on the ºLO±Beamº or ºHI Beamº lights. In the case of º\
FLASHº it turns the heading
control relay and turns on the ºHI Beamº lights.
Headlight Control
RelayTurned on by signals from the light control switch, dimmer switch and run\
ning light
relay and supplies current to each bulb or headlight dimmer relay.
Headlight
Dimmer RelayReceives current from the headlight control relay, which switches the relay according
to the position of the dimmer switch and sends current to the headlight \
ºLO±Beamº
or ºHI Beamº.
Integration RelayCarries out ºLight Auto Turn±offº of the headlights and taillights and cuts off current to
the light control switch in accordance with signals from the GAUGE fuse \
and courtesy
switch.
Door Courtesy
Switch/Driver 'sDetects when the door is open and sends the appropriate signals to integ\
ration relay.
(Light Auto Turn±Off System)
Parking Brake
Switch

System Description ± Headlights
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYSTEM
The Daytime Running Light (DRL) system is activated when engine is started (However, if the parking brake
lever is engaged when the engine is started, the DRL will not light up a\
fter the engine has started. Once the
parking brake is released, the DRL will then light up and will remain on regardless of operation of\
the parking
brake lever).
The DRL remain on until the ignition switch is turned off.

Parts Adjustment
Adjustment of Headlight Aim
1. INSPECT HEADLIGHT AIM Check the following items before inspection.
wBe sure that the body around the headlight is not
deformed.
w Park the vehicle on a level spot.
w The driver gets into the driver's seat and puts the vehicle
in state ready for driving (with a full tank).
w Bounce the vehicle several times.
(Vertical Direction)
Check that the bubble of the gauge does not deviate from the
center of the gauge.
(Horizontal Direction)
Check that the red mark does not deviate from the center of
the gauge.
If the error is over the valve specified, adjust headlight aim.
2. ADJUST HEADLIGHT AIM (Vertical Direction)
Turn the bolt A and adjust the bubble of angle gauge to center
of the gauge.
HINT: The beam angle will change about 0 519' with one mark.
(Horizontal Direction)
Turn the bolt B and adjust the mark of angle gauge to Center
of the gauge.
HINT: The beam angle will change about 0 538' with one mark.
NOTICE: The beam angle gauge should only be used
when the headlights are correctly installed on the body.
