<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress dazzlement to an oncoming car or pedestrian while inhibiting a decrease in visibility of a driver and a decrease in viewability of a vehicle when a failure occurs in an AFS. <P>SOLUTION: This lighting system for the vehicle 10 includes a swivel mechanism 120 for deflecting a radiating direction of a lamp unit 110 in the lateral direction, a leveling mechanism 130 for deflecting the radiating direction in a vertical direction, a beam switching mechanism 140 for switching radiated light distribution between a main beam and a sub beam, and an ECU 1 for controlling the swivel mechanism 120, leveling mechanism 130, and beam switching mechanism 140 according to the traveling condition of the vehicle. When an abnormal state of the beam switching mechanism 140, which is a state incapable of switching the radiated light distribution from the main beam to the sub beam, is detected, the ECU 1 controls the swivel mechanism 120 to deflect the radiating direction in the direction opposite to an opposite-lane direction, and controls the leveling mechanism 130 to deflect the radiating direction in the downward direction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
