Function Deactivation
This function is deactivated by turning on
the headlights, the side lights, or by
cycling the ignition to ON.
Adaptive Frontlight System
(AFS Function) — If Equipped
This is a system combined with Xenon
headlights (Bi-Xenon 35 W headlamp if
equipped) which directs the headlights
horizontally, and continuously and
automatically adapts them to the driving
conditions around bends or when
cornering.
The system directs the headlights to light
up the road in the best way, taking into
account the speed of the vehicle and the
bend or corner angle, as well as the speed
of steering.
The adaptive lights are automatically
activated when the vehicle is started.
High Beam Headlights
To activate the fixed high beam
headlights, push the multifunction lever,
located on the left side of the steering
wheel, towards the instrument panel. The
headlight switch must be turned to the
(AUTO) or(ON) position.
With high beam headlights on, the
High Beam Indicator on the
instrument panel will illuminate. The high beam headlights are turned off
by pulling the lever to its original position.
The warning light/icon
will turn off in
the instrument panel when the headlights
are turned off.
Flashing The Headlights
Pulling the multifunction lever toward the
steering wheel will activate the high
beam headlights manually. The lights will
remain on as long as the lever is held.
Once the lever is released, the lights will
resume the previous position.
Automatic High Beam Headlights —
If Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlights
system provides increased forward
lighting at night by automating high beam
control through the use of a digital
camera mounted on the windshield. This camera detects vehicle specific light
and automatically switches from high
beams to low beams until the
approaching vehicle is out of view.
This function is enabled with the
Information and Entertainment System,
and can only be activated with the light
switch turned to
(AUTO).
If the high beam headlights are on, the
blue icon/warning light
will illuminate
in the instrument panel.
When the speed is higher than 37 mph
(60 km/h) and the function is active, the
lights will turn off if the multifunction
lever is pushed again.
When the speed is lower than 15 mph
(25 km/h) and the function is active, the
function switches the high beam
headlights off.
If the high beam headlights are operated
quickly again (pushing the multifunction
lever towards the instrument panel), the
warning light/icon
will illuminate in the
instrument panel, and the high beam
headlights will turn on constantly until
the speed exceeds 37 mph (60 km/h).
When the speed of 37 mph (60 km/h) is
exceeded again, the automatic
functioning is reactivated.
If the multifunction lever is pushed
again with the Automatic High Beam
Headlights activated, the Automatic High
Beam Headlights function deactivates.
