Understanding the Vehicle
terms of quality (brighter light) as well
as the span and positioning of the
illuminated area.
The headlight system combines the
light beam with the steering angle to
assure better visibility of the road
surface when driving in a curve,
steering or in the event of road
deviations.

AFS Adaptive Feature (for
versions/markets, where provided)
These projectors combine the "xenon"
Technology with the AFS (Advanced
Frontlighting System) adaptive
feature, using a camera located in
front of the rearview. The System is
able to process signals of the camera
and other onboard systems and
subsequently start up different
strategy.
The advantages offered by the AFS
system are perceived especially in case
of bad weather, and for highway
driving (see comparison rendered
below): this surely increases driving
safety.
Furthermore, the projectors are
suitable to prevent glare.
