Kia Optima: Operation
Operating Procedure
1. |
Suspension angle change resulted
from vehicle's load change. |
3. |
Microprocessor calculates necessary
head lamp angle change amount. |
4. |
Sending a proper signal to head
lamp leveling device and driving actuator. |
Operating Condition
3. |
On stop : If sensor lever change
is 2° and above, head lamp is operated after max. 1.5 sec. |
4. |
On driving : If vehicle velocity
is over 4km/h(2.48mile/h), velocity change is not over 0.8-1.6km/h(0.5 ~
1.0mile/h) per second, and loading condition is changed, then head lamp
is operated. |
