steering angle and vehicle speed, to
keep your field of vision wide by swiveling
and levelling the headlamp.
Change the switch to the AUTO position
when the engine is running. The adaptive
front lighting system will operate when
the headlamp is ON. To turn off the
AFLS, change the switch to other posi-
tions. After turning the AFLS off, head-
lamp swiveling no longer occurs, but lev-
elling operates continuously. If the AFLS malfunction indicator comes
on, the AFLS is not working properly.
