To activate the AFS when the daytime
running lamps are activated, turn the
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
Information messages (page 72).
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.
