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 hybrid system is started and
the parking brake is released with the headlight switch off or in the position. (Illu-
minate brighter than the front position lights.)
Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.

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.
