Understanding the Vehicle
the function "Headlight Dip" must be
activated via the menu of MIA (refer to
"Functions of Settings Menu on MIA"
in section "Dashboard Instruments and
Controls" for more details).

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
to the other vehicles, providing optimal
lighting when driving the car in a country
with circulation on the opposite side.
The system assures better visibility
of the road surface when driving in a
curve, steering, or in the event of road
deviations, optimising 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 headlight system is
turned on, the headlights adjustment
will perform a self-adjustment cycle.
• "Adaptive Front Lights" function can be
turned on or off using the MIA system,
refer to "Functions of Settings Menu on
MIA" in section "Dashboard Instrument
and Controls" for further information.
AFS System Failure
In the event of AFS system unavailable,
the related warning light and message
will light up on the cluster display. Take
your vehicle to the nearest Centre of the
Service Network as soon as possible to
check the system.
Automatic High Beam ( )
The Automatic High Beam headlight
control system provides increased
forward lighting at night by automating
high beam control through the use of the
forward-facing digital camera located
behind the rear-view mirror, which is
the same one used for example by the
Active Lane Management - ALM system
on vehicles with ADAS systems.
This camera detects the environmental
luminosity, the headlamps of oncoming
vehicles and the tail lamps of proceeding
vehicles in the front area.
In these cases system automatically
switches from high beams to low beams
until the approaching vehicle is out of
view.
Furthermore, using the maps, together
with the camera, the system is able to
detect the urban areas and the inhabited
