HEADLAMP — Daytime Light System — Operation + Schematic (Base K11)

EL-43wiring diagramUnverified

Base K11 HEADLAMP — Daytime Light System operation table + DRL schematic (UEL048). DRL CU senses engine-running (alternator L) and auto-turns-on low beam + clearance/tail + licence/instrument when switch OFF + running (boxed 'added functions' column). Schematic wire colours illegible → ??.

Operation

After starting the engine with the lighting switch in the 'OFF' position, the headlamp low beam and clearance, tail, license and instrument illumination lamps automatically turn on. Lighting switch operations other than the above are the same as conventional light systems.
