Headlights (cont’d from pg. 23)
Without AFS
NOTE:
• With AFS, it is normal to see the headlights move and hear the sound of the
headlight leveling motors at the front of the vehicle when the ignition is ON.
• The system will need to be reset if the vehicle battery has been disconnected
or the system fuse has been replaced. Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for
easy to follow resetting instructions.
ADAPTIVE FRONT-LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS) (if equipped)
The adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) automatically turns the
headlight beam to the right or left in conjunction with the direction of
the steering wheel.
The AFS improves the direction of headlight illumination while cornering, and
only works when the vehicle is moving.

HD RADIO
HD radio has a special

sound quality than analog broadcasts as digital
broadcasts provide free,

a noticeable difference in sound quality and volume when a change from digital to analog signals occurs. If the sound quality and
volume becomes noticeably
diminished or cuts off, select the HD button to turn

memory stick into the USB port.
