lighting control to position C. See

Lighting control (page 45).

The AFS adjusts the headlamp dipped

beam depending on vehicle direction and

speed. It improves visibility when you are

driving at night and helps to reduce

headlamp glare for oncoming drivers.

A message will appear in the information

display and the headlamp indicator flashes

if the system malfunctions. See

The headlamps will move to a fixed central

or dipped position. Have the system

checked as soon as possible.

The headlamps will also move when the

vehicle is stationary and the steering

wheel is turned. To prevent headlamp

glare for the oncoming traffic, they will only

move towards the passenger side of the

vehicle.

The system will not operate when you

have switched on the daytime running

lamps or when you have selected reverse

gear.
