Adaptive Front Lighting
System (AFS)
*
▼Adaptive Front Lighting System
(AFS)
The adaptive front lighting system
(AFS) automatically adjusts the
headlight beams to the left or right in
conjunction with the operation of the
steering wheel after the headlights
have been turned on and the vehicle
speed is about 2 km/h (2 mph) or
higher.
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Exterior Light Warning
Indication/Warning Light on page
7-58.
NOTE
xHeadlights do not blind drivers
approaching in the opposite
direction no matter what side of the
road you must drive your vehicle
(left-hand or right-hand traffic).
Therefore, it is not necessary to
adjust the optical axis of the
headlights when switching
temporarily to driving on the
opposite side of the road (left-hand
or right-hand
traffic).
xThe Adaptive Front Lighting System
(AFS) can be switched to enable/
disable using the personalisation

High Beam Control
System (HBC)
*
▼High Beam Control System (HBC)
The HBC determines the conditions in
front of the vehicle using the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC) while driving in
darkness to automatically switch the
headlights between high and low
beams.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-216.
While driving the vehicle at a speed of
about 30 km/h (19 mph) or more, the
headlights are switched to high beams
when there are no vehicles ahead or
approaching in the opposite direction.
The system switches the headlights to
low beams when one of the following
occurs:
xThe system detects a vehicle or the
headlights/lights of a vehicle
approaching in the opposite
direction.
xThe vehicle is driven on roads lined
with streetlamps or on roads in
well-lit cities and towns.
xThe vehicle is driven at less than
about 20 km/h (12 mph).
xThe headlight high-beam indicator
light turns on while the high beams
are on.

¾Do not rely excessively on the HBC
and drive the vehicle while paying
sufficient attention to safety. Switch
the headlights between the high
beams and low beams manually if
necessary.
NOTE
The timing in which the system
switches the headlights changes under
the following conditions. If the system
does not switch the headlights
appropriately, manually switch
between high and low beams
according to the visibility as well as
road and traffic conditions.
xWhen there are sources of light in
the area such as street lamps,
illuminated signboards, and traffic
signals.
xWhen there are reflective objects in
the surrounding area such as
reflective plates and signs.
xWhen visibility is reduced under rain,
snow and foggy conditions.
xWhen driving on roads with sharp
turn or hilly terrain.

▼Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS)
The LDWS alerts the driver that the
vehicle may be deviating from its lane.
The system detects the white (yellow)
lines on the traffic lane using the
forward sensing camera (FSC) and if it
determines that the vehicle might be
deviating from its lane, it
notifies the
driver by the LDWS.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) on page 4-216.
Use the LDWS when you drive the
vehicle on roads with white (yellow)
