AFS Functions
The system is able to process signals
of onboard systems and subsequently
start up five strategic steps in the
following situations:
• "motorway beam";
• "country beam";
• "town beam";
• "adverse weather beam";
• "tourist beam" (for example in
countries with circulation on the
opposite side). In this case this
function must be activated via the
menu of MIA (refer to "Functions of
Settings Menu on MIA" in section
"Dashboard Instruments and
Controls").
The advantages offered by the AFS
system are perceived especially in case
of bad weather, fog and/or insufficient
road indications providing broader
illumination of the side zones, which
are normally left in the dark, and for
motorway driving.
This surely increases driving safety as
it offers less eye stress and increased
orientation for the driver and better
detection of other persons on the road
sides (pedestrians, bicycle riders and
motorcycle drivers). Furthermore, the
headlamps are suitable to prevent
glare, providing optimal lighting
when driving the car in a country with
circulation on the opposite side.
The tables show the light values (lux)
and the light flux (lumen) of AFS
headlights.
NOTE:
The values reported in the tables may
change depending on the destination
market of the car.

The system assures better visibility of
the road surface when driving in a
curve, steering, or in the event of road
deviations, optimizing vertical light
distribution according to the current
drive path.
The increased lateral illumination is
gained through a fixed bending light
or a cornering light (depending on
the market) elaborating information
about the steering angle, the vehicle
speed and the turn indicator.
The improved vertical illumination, in
case of fast acceleration and/or fast
deceleration, will assure the deeper
illuminated distance from the vehicle,
through a dynamical adaptation of
headlight vertical attitude.
NOTE:
• Each time the adaptive headlight
system is turned on, the headlights
adjustment will perform a self-
adjustment cycle.
• All AFS functions are available only if
the vehicle is moving forward.
• "Adaptive Front Light" function
can be turned on or off using the
MIA system, refer to "Functions
of Settings Menu on MIA" in
