the steering angle and vehicle
speed, to keep your field of vision
wide by swiveling and leveling the
headlamp.

tion when the engine is running. The
adaptive front lighting system will
operate when the headlamp is ON.

ates continuously. If the AFLS malfunction indicator

properly. Drive to the nearest safe
location and restart the engine. If the
