Component Description
| Part | Description |
| BCM | Controls the exterior lighting system. |
| Combination switch (Lighting & turn signal switch) | Refer to BCS-9, "COMBINATION SWITCH READING SYSTEM : System Description" (with Intelligent Key system) or BCS-80, "COMBINATION SWITCH READING SYSTEM : System Description" (without Intelligent Key system). |
| IPDM E/R | Controls the integrated relays and supplies voltage to the load according to the request from the BCM via CAN communication. |
| Stop lamp switch | Transmits power when the brake pedal is pressed to operate stop lamps. |
| Combination meter | Refer to MWI-8, "METER SYSTEM : System Description". |
| Daytime light relay (if equipped) | Sends power to the daytime lamp when operated by the IPDM E/R. |
| Front door switch LH/RH | Transmits the door open signal to the BCM. |
| Rear door switch LH/RH | |
| Optical sensor | Optical sensor converts the outside brightness (lux) to voltage and transmits the optical sensor signal to BCM to operate the autolight system. |
| Parking brake switch | Transmits the parking brake switch signal to the combination meter to operate the autolight system. |
| Hazard switch | Inputs the hazard switch signal to BCM. |
