This switch is at the right side of the
left vent. Press it to turn the AFS on
and off. When AFS is off, the AFS
indicator comes on as a reminder
when you turn on the headlights.

Here are some operating
characteristics of the AFS:

The system requires an
initialization period. It does not
begin to operate until you have
driven the vehicle a short distance.

At a stop, the right headlight turns
right when you turn the steering
wheel to the right. But the left
headlight does not turn left when
you turn the steering wheel to the
left. This prevents the left
headlight from pointing at
oncoming traffic.

AFS is turned off when the shift
lever is in the R position.

The AFS works with the automatic
headlight adjusting system to sense
changes in vehicle height due to
driving and loading conditions of
passengers and luggage, and adjusts
the vertical aim of the low beam
headlights automatically to
compensate for load.

If the headlights do not seem to be
properly aimed, have the automatic
headlight adjusting system inspected
by your dealer.

When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, the AFS is
turned on if it was on previously.
