Description and Operation

Description

This system uses a light sensor that automatically controls the tail lights and headlights according to changes in ambient light conditions. Activation occurs when the vehicle enters a tunnel, exits a tunnel, or when light conditions change due to rain, snow, or fog. The following safety precautions must be observed when using the system.

  1. Do not connect any other devices to this unit.

  2. In poor visibility conditions, such as fog, heavy rain, or heavy snow, be sure to switch the lights to manual mode.

  3. The actual illuminance level in the vehicle is not always constant, and the light on/off timing may vary depending on climate, season, and environmental conditions.

  4. Use this system only at dawn and dusk, and manually check whether the indicator lamp is illuminated.

  5. A malfunction may occur if a thin layer blocking the internal light sensor is applied.
