Understanding the Vehicle
The improved vertical illumination, in
case of fast acceleration and/or fast
deceleration, will assure the deeper
illuminated distance from the vehicle,
through a dynamical adaptation of
headlight vertical attitude.
NOTE:
• Each time the adaptive headlight
system is turned on, the headlights
will perform a self-adjustment cycle.
• All AFS features are available only if
the vehicle is moving forward.
• “Adaptive Front Light” function can
be turned on or off using the MTC+
System, refer to “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instrument and
Controls” for further information.
“Full-LED” Headlight with AFS
(optional)
These headlights combines the “Full-
LED” technology to the AFS (Advanced
Frontlighting System) adaptive
features, using a forward-facing
camera located on the windshield
behind the internal rear-view mirror.
“Full-LED” Technology
This technology allows having
headlights with a simpler construction
and a more compact size compared
to those equipped with traditional or
Xenon light bulbs.
Other advantages are:
• a clearer light beam, with a cool
white tone that allows a better
perception of the contrasts thus
making the night vision more
efficient and less tiring;
• a longer duration equivalent at least
to that of the vehicle;
• a reduced current consumption.
These features positively affect
some vehicle management economy
aspects by eliminating/reducing the
light bulb replacements and the fuel
consumption.
The picture shows the increased
brightness of the low beam of
standard halogen headlights (
A )
compared to those Full-LED ( B ) in the
“motorway beam” mode.
AFS Features
The system is able to process signals
of onboard systems and subsequently
start up five strategic steps in the
following situations:
• “motorway beam”;
• “country beam”;
• “town beam”;
• “adverse weather beam”;
• “tourist beam” (for example in
countries with circulation on the
opposite side). In this case this
function must be activated via the
menu of MTC+ (refer to “MTC+
Settings” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”).
The advantages offered by the AFS
system are perceived especially in case
of bad weather, fog and/or insufficient
road indications providing broader
illumination of the side zones, which
are normally left in the dark, and for
motorway driving.
This surely increases driving safety as
it offers less eye stress and increased
orientation for the driver and better
detection of other persons on the road
sides (pedestrians, bicycle riders and
motorcycle drivers). Furthermore, the
headlamps are suitable to prevent
glare, providing optimal lighting
when driving the car in a country with
circulation on the opposite side.
The table shows the light values (lux)
and the light flux (lumen) of AFS
headlights.
