AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System) secures excellent visibility at inter-
sections and on curves by automatically adjusting the direction of the light
axis of the headlights according to vehicle speed and the degree of the
tire’s angle as controlled by steering input.
AFS operates at speeds of 10 km/h (6 mph) or higher.
■Daytime running light system
To make your vehicle more visible to othe r drivers during daytime driving, the day-
time running lights turn on automatically whenever the engine is started and the
parking brake is released with the headlight switch off or in the position. (Illumi-
nate brighter than the front position ligh ts.) Daytime running lights are not designed
for use at night.
■Headlight control sensor
AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System)
The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the wind-
shield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor detecting
the level of ambient light and may cause the
automatic headlight system to malfunction.

When variable shade beam is on,
the illumination of the area sur-
rounding oncoming vehicles and
preceding vehicles is partially
shielded while all other areas con-
tinue to be illuminated in high beam.
This enables forward lighting to be
optimized without blinding sur-
rounding traffic.
If oncoming or preceding vehicles
change position, the shielded area
changes and adapts to the vehicle’s
position.
AHS (Adaptive High-beam System)
The Adaptive High-beam System uses an in-vehicle camera sensor to
assess the brightness of streetlights , the lights of oncoming and preced-
ing vehicles, etc., and automatically turns high beam and variable shade
beam on or off as necessary.
