AFLS (Adaptive Front LightingSystem) a.k.a. DBL (DynamicBending Light) (if equipped)
Adaptive front lighting system uses
the steering angle and vehicle speed
to help maximize your field of vision
by swiveling and leveling the head-
lamp.
Change the switch to the AUTO posi-
tion when the engine is running. The
adaptive front lighting system will
operate when the headlamps are

ing the AFLS off, headlamp swiveling
no longer occurs, but the leveling will
operate continuously. If the AFLS malfunction indicator
