Headlamp System

The headlamp system consists of:

• Two aerodynamic halogen headlamp bulbs and retainers
• Headlamp switch
• Multifunction switch
• Lighting control module (LCM)
• Circuit wiring and circuit protection

In normal operation:

• With the multifunction switch in the low beam position, power is supplied by the LCM to the low beam elements through the multifunction switch.
• With the multifunction switch in the high beam position (forward detent), power is supplied to the high beam elements and to the high beam indicator in the instrument cluster.
• When the multifunction switch is pulled toward the steering wheel, the flash-to-pass switch (part of the multifunction switch) is closed and power is supplied to the high beam elements. When the switch is released, they return to low beam operation.
• The battery saver feature of the LCM will automatically turn off the courtesy lamps, demand lamps, headlamps, or parking lamps under the following conditions:
  • The ignition switch is in the OFF position.
  • The headlamp switch is in parking lamps ON or headlamps ON positions.
  • After 10 minutes.
