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

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 4-203.

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:

The system detects a vehicle or the

headlights/lights of a vehicle

approaching in the opposite

direction.

The vehicle is driven on roads lined

with streetlamps or on roads in

well-lit cities and towns.

The vehicle is driven at less than

about 20 km/h (12 mph).

The headlight high-beam indicator

light turns on while the high beams
