GENERAL DESCRIPTION CONCERNING THE FOG LIGHT









The fog lights will illuminate only when the fog light switch is operated while the low-beam headlights are on.

The fog lights will be switched off when any of the following conditions is met. The fog lights will also be switched off automatically by headlight automatic shutoff function.
- When the high-beam headlights are switched on, the fog lights will be switched off. If the low-beam headlights are switched on again, the fog lights will illuminate again.
- When the headlight switch is turned off or the tail lights and headlights are off, the fog lights will be switched off. If the low-beam headlights are switched on again, the fog lights will not illuminate again.

Fog light indicator
At the same time that the fog lights are illuminated, the ETACS-ECU sends a signal to illuminate the fog light indicator via the CAN bus line. The combination meter receives the transmitted signal and turns the fog light indicator on and off.
