More Information
Summary:The system has an outside environment detecting unit detecting brightness, weather condition, and road curvature and position of a preceding vehicle. A vehicle state detecting unit detects a vehicles state operated by a driver. A controller (4) receives data from the two units and sends output signals to drive circuits (51-56). An indicator (7) displays a control state of a light controlled by the circuits. The invention relates to an auto light system which allows the driver to confirm the head light beam direction and range easily and to switch the light state easily in the auto light system for controlling the head light beam direction and range. The auto light system comprises a light control means (4) for controlling the light (6) of the vehicle, a manual light operating means (8) for operating manually the light (6), said manual light operating means (8) operated in response to the output signal from the light control means (4), and a display means (7) for displaying the control state of the light (6) controlled by the light control means (4).
