Igniter
Igniter generates high voltage needed to turn on the discharge headlight. It is charged with high voltage raised by the
ballast and it applies voltage pulse as high as about 20,000V to the tungsten electrode in the discharge headlight bulb.
After the discharge headlights light up, the ballast supplies voltage to bulbs.
Discharge headlight bulb
Discharge headlight bulb is used for the low beam. It does not have a filament but xenon gas (1), mercury (3) and
metal iodide (2) sealed in it. It lights up when its tungsten electrodes (4) apply high voltage to these contents.
Fail-safe function of discharge headlight
As the ballast has a fail-safe function which stops supply of the voltage to the igniter when it detects any of the
following condition.
• Ignition switch is set to “HEAD” position while igniter is not connected to discharge headlight bulb
• Discharge headlight does not light up even when lighting switch is set to “HEAD” position.
• Ballast detects a short in the circuit between discharge headlight bulb and ballast when lighting switch is at “HEAD”
position.
Headlight Auto Leveling System Description (If Equipped)S6RW0D9201002
Headlight Auto Leveling System adjusts the optical axis of the headlight automatically to be suitable for the varied
vehicle position while the headlights are lit. It consists of front height sensor (1), rear height sensor (2), headlight
leveling control module (3), headlight leveling actuator (4) and headlight leveling warning light (5).

Headlight leveling actuator
Headlight leveling actuator is (1) located in the headlight housing (2). It moves the reflector (3) in the headlight housing
according to the drive signal from the headlight leveling control module so as to adjust the optical axis of the headlight
to the angle calculated by the headlight leveling control module.
Auto-On Headlight System Description (If Equipped)S6RW0D9201003
The auto-on headlight is controlled by auto-on headlight controller (1) and works as follows.Under such conditions as
the ignition switch turned ON and the lighting switch (2) turned to the “AUTO” position, when illuminance to the auto-on
headlight sensor (3) becomes lower than the specified value, the headlights and clearance lights are turned ON by
auto-on headlight controller. On the other hand, when illuminance to the auto-on headlight sensor becomes higher
than the specified value under the same conditions, the headlights and clearance lights are turned OFF by auto-on
headlight controller.Voltage supplied to height sensor is lower
than 4.6VStops headlight leveling actuator operation. ON
Signal voltage from height sensor is higher
than 4.75V or lower than 0.25VStops headlight leveling actuator operation. ON

Igniter Removal and Installation (Discharge
Headlight Model)
S6RW0D9206024
WARNING!
Be sure to read “Precautions for Discharge
Headlight Service (If Equipped)” carefully
before working. Neglecting them may result
in personal injury.

Removal
1) Remove ballast referring to “Ballast Removal and
Installation (Discharge Headlight Model)”.
2) Remove cover (1) from headlight housing by turning
it counterclockwise.
3) Remove igniter (2) from discharge headlight bulb by
turning it counterclockwise.
4) After disconnecting ground wire (3), pull out igniter
(2) from headlight housing.Installation
Reverse removal procedure noting the following.
• Connect connectors securely.
• After installation, be sure to inspect and adjust aiming
referring to “Headlight Aiming Adjustment with
Screen”.
Headlight Aiming Adjustment with ScreenS6RW0D9206003
NOTE
• Unless otherwise obligated by local regulations, adjust headlight aiming according to the following
procedure.
• After replacing headlight housing, be sure to adjust aiming.
• When inspecting and adjusting headlight with leveling system, make sure to set the leveling switch
to “0” position with ignition switch turned ON.

1) Make sure the following items.
• Place vehicle on a flat surface in front of blank wall (screen) (1) ahead of headlight surface.
Distance “a”
10 m (32.8 ft.)
• Adjust air pressure of all tires to the specified value respectively.
• Bounce vehicle body up and down by hand to stabilize suspension.
• Carry out aiming with a driver aboard.
Driver’s weight
75 kg (165 lb)
2) Check to see if hot spot (high intensity zone) of each low beam axis falls as shown in figure.
NOTE
If the headlights interfere each other and make it hard to see the cut line clearly, cover the headlight on
one side. This helps to make aiming adjustment easier.

Hot spot specification
Angle “b”: 0.75° (Specification)
Calculated distance “H”: Approx. 130 mm (5.15 in.)
3) Align headlight aiming to specification by adjusting aiming gear if it is not set properly.
