Galant V6-3.0L SOHC (2003)
removed, the headlights will be switched off in three minutes. If the driver's door is opened within that three-minute period, the headlights will be
switched off automatically. This prevents the battery from discharging.
Headlight dimmer switch automatic resetting function
This function allows the dimmer switch to be reset to the low-beam position whenever the headlight switch is turned to the ON position.
FLASHER TIMER
Turn-signal light
When the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position and turn-signal light switch is placed in the ON position for right or left turn-signaling, the
system generates turn-signal light drive signals (flashing signals). The system also notifies of a blown turn-signal light bulb by shortening the flashing
intervals of the corresponding indicator light.
Hazard warning light
The system detects a change from OFF to ON of the hazard warning input signal and activates or shuts off the hazard warning lights accordingly.
FOG LIGHT
The fog light switch becomes active only when the headlights are at the low-beam mode. Therefore, if the headlights are turned off, the fog lights will
also be switched off. When the headlights are turned on during the next key cycle, the fog lights will be off regardless of the fog light switch position.
DOME LIGHT
With the dome light switch in the "door controlled operation" (middle) position, the ETACS-ECU controls the dome light operation as follows:
-
When a door is opened from outside or inside [with the ignition switch turned to "LOCK" (OFF)]: When a door is opened, the ETACS-ECU
causes the dome light to be illuminated at 100 percent intensity. When the door is closed, it dims the dome light to 65 percent intensity and
approximately 30 seconds later, turns out the light completely. During this period (timer controlled period), the dome light goes out if the ignition
switch is turned "ON" or the doors are locked.
-
When a door is opened or closed with the ignition switch in the "ON" position: The dome light illuminates at 100 percent intensity when a door is
opened and turned out when it is closed.
-
When no door is opened and the ignition key is removed: The dome light is illuminated at 100 percent intensity and turned off approximately 30
seconds later. During that time (timer-controlled period), the dome light goes out if the ignition key is inserted and turned to "ON" or the door
locking system is activated.
-
Dome light's answerback operation in response to door lock control by keyless entry system: To allow the driver to confirm the doors have locked
by the keyless entry system, the ETACS-ECU causes the dome light to blink twice when the doors are locked by the RKE system and to illuminate
for approximately 15 seconds when the doors are locked. The dome light's answerback operation in response to a keyless entry system control
action is accompanied by flashing of the hazard warning lights.
INTERIOR LIGHT AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
This function prevents the battery from being discharged when the door is open or the dome light remains on with the ignition switch at the "LOCK"
(OFF) position. The ETACS-ECU turns on its "keep" relay to switch off the battery power supply to the interior lights when the interior light loaded
signal and all door switches remain on for approximately 30 minutes with the ignition switch at positions other than ACC. Then the interior lights will be
switched off. If the ignition switch is turned on again, the ETACS-ECU turns on its "keep" relay to illuminate the interior lights.
DOOR-AJAR INDICATOR LIGHT
This indicator light warns the driver that door(s) are not closed. If a door switch is on, the ETACS-ECU operates the door-ajar indicator light on the
combination meter.
THEFT-ALARM SYSTEM
Theft-alarm system operation
If a door, trunk lid or hood is opened, when the theft-alarm system has been armed the horn (theft-alarm horn and horn) will sound and headlights flash
(high-beam) intermittently for a period of three minutes.
Panic alarm function
With the theft-alarm function armed, pressing the panic button on the keyless entry system transmitter causes the horn (theft-alarm horn and horn) to
sound for about three minutes in an attempt to prevent theft. The alarm is turned off by pressing any switch on the transmitter.
