• and
• an illumination controller configured to, when the vehicle detects a target object, change an illumination state of the communication support lamp,
• wherein the communication support lamp includes a plurality of light-emitting segments arranged side by side in a predetermined direction,
• wherein each of the plurality of light-emitting segments includes a plurality of light-emitting elements configured to emit lights,
• wherein light-emitting colors of the plurality of light-emitting elements are different,
• wherein the illumination controller is configured to individually control lightings of the plurality of light-emitting elements, thereby changing an illumination state of each of the plurality of light-emitting segments, and
• wherein the illumination controller is configured to control the illumination state of the communication support lamp so that the illumination system is to function as a daytime running lamp, a turn signal lamp or a clearance lamp.
