HEADLAMP AUTO-CUT FUNCTION
Even if the headlamp switch is ON, the head lamp will automatically go off in the following conditions
to prevent the battery from discharging as a result of forgetting to turn off lights.
(1) When the ignition key is turned from ON to OFF with the headlamp switch turned ON, and this
state continues for 3 minutes, the headlamp will automatically be turned off. If the driver's seat door
is opened during these 3 minutes, the lamp will go off 1 second later. (During the one second until
it goes off, the light still ON reminder warning buzzer will sound. However, if the driver's seat door
is opened with the ignition key inserted, the key inserted reminder warning buzzer will function first.)
(2) When the tail lamp switch is turned ON with the ignition switch and lighting switch OFF, the lamp
will not go off automatically.
The headlamp auto-cut function is cancelled by turning ON the lighting switch (tail or headlamp switch)
or ignition switch.
