Headlights
ADAPTIVE FRONT-LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS) (if equipped)
The Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) automatically turns the
headlight beam to the right or left in conjunction with the direction of
the steering wheel.
The AFS improves the direction of headlight illumination while cornering and
only works when the vehicle is moving.
NOTE:
• With AFS, it is normal to see the headlights move and hear the sound of the
headlight leveling motors at the front of the vehicle when the ignition is ON.
• The system will need to be reset if the vehicle battery has been disconnected
or the system fuse has been replaced. Please refer to your Owner's Manual for
easy-to-follow resetting instructions.
