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.
NOTE

Headlights 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).

The Adaptive Front Lighting System
(AFS) function can be switched to
operable/inoperable using the
personalisation function.
Refer to Personalisation Features on
page 9-9.
Adaptive LED Headlights
(ALH)
*
The ALH are a system which uses the
Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) to
determine the situation of a vehicle ahead
or a vehicle approaching in the opposite
direction while driving at night to
automatically switch the illumination
range of the headlights, the illuminated
area, or the illumination brightness.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
on page 4-157.
The ALH are controlled between high and
low beams as follows to assure the driver’s
visibility without dazzling a vehicle ahead
or a vehicle approaching in the opposite
direction.
Glare-Free High Beam
This feature dims only the high-beam light
shone on the vehicle ahead.
The high beams will dim while driving at
a speed of about 30 km/h (19 mph) or
faster. When the vehicle speed is less than
about 20 km/h (12 mph), the beams switch
to the low beams.
NOTE
The headlight high-beam indicator light
turns on while the high beams are on.
