regular tire checks, including tire pres-
sure checks could result in tire failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur and
may lead to a collision, which could result

will be activated.
The AFS will operate:
. when the headlight switch is ON.
. when the shift lever is in any position
other than P (Park) or R (Reverse).
. when the vehicle is driven at above 3
MPH (5 km/h) for the left-side head-
light. Note that the right-side low beam
headlight will swivel but the left-side
headlight will not swivel when the vehicle
is below 3 MPH (5 km/h) and the steering wheel is turned.

axis automatically, depending on the number
of occupants in the vehicle, the load the
vehicle is carrying and the road conditions.
If the AFS OFF indicator light blinks after
the ignition switch has been pushed to the
ON position, this may indicate that the AFS
