starts blinking while driving, pull to
the side of the road when it is safe,
andturnofftheengine.IftheAFS
indicator keeps blinking, or starts
blinking again while driving after
turning the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position, the AFS is not working
properly (see page ). Have the
AFS inspected by your dealer.
When the AFS indicator comes on,
you will also see a ‘‘CHECK
ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING
SYSTEM’’ message on the multi-
information display (see page ).
Without AFS, your vehicle still has
normal lighting ability to continue
driving.
The adaptive f ront lighting system
(AFS) helps to improve visibility
during nighttime driving. The AFS
controls the aiming direction and
lighting distribution of the low
beams according to the amount of
turn applied to the steering wheel
during cornering or turning. To turn
the AFS on, turn the ignition switch
to the ON (II) position, and turn the
headlights on.

This switch is at the right side of the
left vent. Press it to turn the AFS on
and off. When AFS is off, the AFS
indicator comes on as a reminder
whenyouturnontheheadlights.Here are some operating
characteristics of the AFS:
The system requires an
initialization period. It does not
begin to operate until you have
driven the vehicle a short distance.
At a stop, the right headlight turns
right when you turn the steering
wheel to the right. But the left
headlight does not turn lef t when
you turn the steering wheel to the
left.Thispreventstheleft
headlight f rom pointing at
oncoming traf f ic.
AFS is turned of f when the shif t
lever is in the R position. The AFS works with the automatic
headlight adjusting system to sense
changes in vehicle height due to
driving and loading conditions of
passengers and luggage, and adjusts
the vertical aim of the low beam
headlights automatically to
compensate f or load.
If the headlights do not seem to be
properly aimed, have the automatic
headlight adjusting system inspected
by your dealer.
