(1) Close all doors and the glass hatch.
(2) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(3) Turn the headlights, fog lights, taillights, clearance lights and license plate lights on.
(4) Turn the engine switch off.
(5) Open and close a door or the glass hatch.
(6) When the delay time set through the customize function elapses, check that all the lights turn off.
(b) When the headlights are not illuminated and the taillights are illuminated:
(1) Close all doors and the glass hatch.
(2) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(3) Turn the fog lights, taillights, clearance lights and license plate lights on.
(4) Turn the engine switch off.
(5) Open the driver door.
(6) Check that all the lights turn off.
3. DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK
(a) Turn the headlight dimmer switch off. (w/o DRL OFF switch)
(b) Headlight dimmer switch not in the DRL OFF position. (w/ DRL OFF switch)
(c) Start the engine.
(d) Release the parking brake.
(e) Check that the daytime running lights (dimmed high beam headlights) come on.
4. HID HEADLIGHT SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK (for HID Headlight)
(a) Perform the following diagnosis procedure when both of the following conditions are met: 1) the light control ECU is not visibly damaged, and 2) the light control ECU has been struck but is operating normally. If all of the following diagnosis results are normal, the light control ECU can be reused.
(1) Perform low beam headlight cold starts (10 minutes or more off, then turned on) and hot starts (15 minutes or more on, 1 minute off, then turned on again) several times. Check that the low beam headlights illuminate normally.
(2) For 5 minutes immediately after performing a headlight cold start as described above, visually check the illumination and check that the lights do not flicker or show signs of instability.
(3) Install bulbs that have approximately the same usage time, and illuminate the low beam headlights for approximately 30 seconds. Check that the brightness of the left and right bulbs is approximately the same, and that the illumination is stable.
5. AFS OPERATION CHECK (w/ AFS)
(a) Check that the initialization (determination of the initial position) of the leveling motor and swivel motor is performed after the engine is started.
(b) Check that the AFS OFF indicator light in the combination meter assembly comes on for approximately 3 seconds and then goes off when the engine switch is turned on (IG).
6. AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK (w/ Automatic High Beam System)
(a) Check the operation of the inner rear view mirror assembly indicator light.
(1) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(2) Check that the inner rear view mirror assembly indicator light comes on.

(3) Press the inner rear view mirror assembly AUTO switch for 1 to 3 seconds.
(4) Check that the inner rear view mirror assembly indicator light goes off.
(5) Press the inner rear view mirror assembly AUTO switch for 1 to 3 seconds again.
(6) Check that the inner rear view mirror assembly indicator light comes on.
HINT
If the inner rear view mirror assembly indicator light flashes, turn the engine switch off, and then turn the engine switch on (IG). If the inner rear view mirror assembly indicator light flashes continuously, replace the inner rear view mirror assembly.
(b) Check the operation of the automatic high beam indicator light.

(1) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(2) Move the shift lever to any position except R.
(3) Turn the light control switch to the AUTO position.
(4) Cover the automatic light control sensor to turn the low beam headlights on.
(5) Turn the dimmer switch to the high position.
(6) Check that the automatic high beam indicator comes on.
(c) Check the operation of the automatic high beam function.
(1) At night, when driving the vehicle with the automatic high beam system in standby mode, check that the headlights are changed from the low beams to the high beams automatically after a short delay when all of the following conditions are met:
* The vehicle speed is more than 34 km/h (21 mph).
* The area in front of the vehicle is dark.
* There are no oncoming vehicles with headlights on.
* There are no preceding vehicles with taillights on.
* There are few streetlights along the street ahead.
(2) At night, when driving the vehicle with the high beams turned on by the automatic high beam system, check that the automatic high beam system turns off the high beams and returns to standby mode when any of the following conditions are met:
* The vehicle speed is less than 27 km/h (17 mph).
* The level of ambient light is higher than a specified threshold.
* There are oncoming vehicles with headlights on.
* There are preceding vehicles with taillights on.
* Light from the streetlights ahead is higher than a specified threshold.
(d) Using the following procedure, the automatic high beam operation can be checked without driving the vehicle.
(1) Connect terminals 4 (CG) and 8 (LVL) of the DLC3 using SST.
SST : 09843-18040

(2) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(3) Disconnect SST within 10 seconds after turning the engine switch on (IG).
(4) After more than 1 second and less than 10 seconds, connect terminals 4 (CG) and 8 (LVL) of the DLC3 using SST again.
(5) Check that the inner rear view mirror assembly indicator light flashes.
(6) Check that the low beams change to the high beams when the surrounding area is dark enough.
(7) Shine a flashlight, white LED or red LED on the camera built into the inner rear view mirror assembly.
(8) Check that the high beams change to the low beams.
NOTICE:
The high beams may not change to the low beams when the surrounding area is bright or due to on other lighting conditions. Therefore, this function check should not be used as the only method of determining if a malfunction is present (if parts need to be replaced).
