Every CZ Autoz vehicle is built on DayZ 1.30’s vehicle system (v2.9 and later), so the lights, horn and third-person camera all work correctly on current builds.

​
Lighting

Each vehicle has a full set of lights:

Headlights

Forward beams, switched on from the driver’s seat like any DayZ car.

Dashboard

Interior dashboard illumination while the engine runs.

Tail & brake lights

Rear lights that brighten under braking.

Reverse lights

Rear lights that come on in reverse.
Lights only come on when the engine is running, a working battery is fitted and headlight bulbs are in place. If the engine won’t start (see Whitelisting), the lights won’t either.
The Mazda RX7 (JDM Pack 1) keeps its working pop-up headlights — they rise when you switch the lights on and drop when you switch them off.

​
If lights stay off

Older versions don’t match the game’s current vehicle system: on DayZ 1.30 you need v2.9 or later, and before v2.7 some vehicles lit only part of their rear cluster — boot-lid and tailgate segments stayed dark for other players. The fix is simply to run the latest version of the pack or tier — every vehicle is on the 1.30 vehicle system with its full cluster working on every colour variant, and brightness is matched across the range. See the Vehicles Changelog and Common Issues.

​
Third-person chase camera

Each CZ Autoz vehicle sets how far back and how high its camera sits, so the view frames the vehicle properly — a HEMTT or Unimog sits further back than a low-slung supercar, and nothing clips into the camera.
The camera is built into each vehicle and works automatically — there is nothing to configure on the server. If you tested an older build where the camera felt too close or too high, updating to the latest version sorts it.
