ADAPTIVE FRONT-LIGHTING SYSTEM 

(IF EQUIPPED)

ADAPTIVE FRONT-LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS)

AFS automatically turns the headlight beam to the right or left in conjunction with the 
direction of the steering wheel

to improve the direction of headlight illumination while 

cornering. AFS only works when the vehicle is moving.

NOTE:

 With AFS, it is normal to see the headlights move and hear the sound of the 

headlight leveling motors at the front of the vehicle when the ignition is ON. 

 The system will need to be reset if the vehicle battery has been disconnected or the 

system fuse has been replaced. Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for easy-to-follow 
resetting instructions.

COMING/LEAVING HOME LIGHT SYSTEMS

COMING HOME:

 When the surroundings are dark while 
LEAVING your vehicle, visibility at the front

door lever is pulled. The headlights turn off 
after a certain period of time has elapsed 
after the doors are closed.
