Ford Fusion: Exterior Lighting / Exterior Lighting - Overview. Description and Operation

Headlamps

The headlamp system consists of:

• Headlamp assemblies
• Headlamp switch
• Adaptive front lighting module (halogen headlamps equipped with LED signature/front parking lamps and LED headlamps)
• LH steering column multifunction switch
• BCM
• HCM
• SCCM
• IPMA

For halogen headlamps, the headlamp system is a quad-beam pattern system. It consists of replaceable low and high beam bulbs in each headlamp assembly. The park, turn and side marker lamps are integrated into the headlamp assembly.

For LED headlamps, the headlamp system is a quad-beam pattern system. It consists of non-replaceable low and high beam Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) in each headlamp assembly. The park, turn and side marker lamps are integrated into the headlamp assembly.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

The DRL system consists of:

• Low beams (halogen headlamps not equipped with LED signature/front parking lamps)
• LED signature/front parking lamps (halogen headlamps equipped with LED signature/front parking lamps and LED headlamps)
• BCM

For halogen headlamps not equipped with LED signature/front parking lamps, the DRL system operates the low beam headlamps at a reduced intensity.

For halogen headlamps equipped with LED signature/front parking lamps and LED headlamps, the DRL system operates the LED signature/front parking lamps at full intensity.

Autolamps

The autolamp system consists of:

• Light sensor
• Headlamp switch
• BCM

The autolamp system provides light sensitive automatic on/off control of the exterior lamps. The autolamp system keeps the exterior lamps on for a preselected period of time after the ignition is turned OFF (20 seconds is the factory default setting). The preselected time is adjustable up to approximately 3 minutes by using the message center controls.

Stoplamps

The stoplamp system consists of:

• Stoplamp switch
• Rear lamp assemblies
• High mounted stoplamp
• BCM

The stoplamp switch is located on the brake pedal assembly. Voltage is supplied to the rear lamps and high mounted stoplamp when the brake pedal is applied.

The stoplamps are integrated into the rear lamp assemblies. They are Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and are only serviced with the rear lamp assembly.

Turn Signal and Hazard Lamps

The turn lamp system consists of:

• Front turn lamps
• Rear lamp assemblies
• Exterior rear view mirrors
• LH steering column multifunction switch
• Hazard flasher lamp switch
• DDM
• PDM
• BCM
• SCCM

When the LH steering column multifunction switch is placed in the left or right turn position, the corresponding turn lamps flash on and off.

When the hazard function is active, all the turn lamps flash on and off.

The front turn signal indicator lamps are integrated into the headlamp assemblies.

The rear turn signal indicator lamps are integrated into the rear lamp assemblies. They are Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and are only serviced with the rear lamp assembly.

Parking, Rear and License Plate Lamps

The parking lamp system consists of:

• Front parking lamps
• Front side marker lamps
• Rear lamp assemblies
• Decklid parking lamps (part of the reverse lamp)
• License plate lamps
• Headlamp switch
• BCM

The front parking and side marker lamps are integrated into the headlamp assemblies.

The rear parking and side marker lamps are integrated into the rear lamp assemblies. Decklid parking lamps may also be integrated into the reverse lamp assemblies. They are Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and are only serviced with the lamp assembly.

Fog Lamps

The fog lamp system consists of:

• Fog lamp assemblies
• Fog lamp switch (integrated into the headlamp switch)
• BCM
• SCCM

The fog lamps can be turned on when the ignition is in RUN, the parking lamps are on, and the high beams are off.

Reversing Lamps

The reverse lamp system consists of:

• Reverse lamps
• PCM
• BCM

When the transmission is placed in REVERSE, the reversing lamps are illuminated. The reversing lamps are located on the decklid.
