Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS)
The AFS makes it easier for the driver to see ahead at night. While the lamp switch is in the “ ” or “AUTO” position (with the headlamps on), turning the steering wheel causes a bending lamp to automatically come on and illuminate the road in the direction in which the car is being turned, thereby expanding the illuminated area of the road.
When the steering wheel is turned (on a curve, for example), the road ahead in the direction in which the car is being turned is illuminated. (The left bending lamp comes on when the car is turned leftward, and the right bending lamp comes on when the car is turned rightward.)
CAUTION
If either bending lamp is kept on for about 15 minutes, it automatically goes off. If you wish to make it come on again, first turn the steering wheel back from its turned position to the straight-ahead position.
- The amount of steering wheel operation necessary to illuminate the bending lamps changes according to the vehicle speed. (The lower the vehicle speed, the more steering wheel operation is necessary.) However, the lamps can be set before driving to illuminate with just a small amount of steering wheel operation.
NOTE
- The AFS does not work in any of the following circumstances:
• The selector lever is in the “R” position.
• The lamp switch is in the “ ” or “OFF” position.
• The vehicle speed is 100 km/h (62 mph) or higher.
• The “AFS OFF” switch has been pushed to stop the AFS from working.
Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS) OFF switch
To turn off the AFS, push the “AFS OFF” switch. The AFS OFF indication lamp in the meter cluster will come on. Push the switch again to turn the AFS back on.
NOTE
When the ignition switch is turned off, the status of the “AFS OFF” switch is held in memory.
Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS) indications
Indicator
Warning display type 1
Warning display type 2
In the event of an abnormality in the AFS, a warning display message appears in the information window of the multi-information display and the “AFS OFF” indication lamp in the meter cluster blinks.
CAUTION
If the warning is displayed, the system may be malfunctioning. We recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
NOTE
- If the AFS indication lamp flashes while you are driving, stop the vehicle in a safe place, turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” or “OFF” position, then restart the engine. If the AFS indication lamp stays off, the AFS is normal.
- When the emergency spare wheel is fitted on the vehicle, the AFS may not work normally. Push the “AFS OFF” switch to turn the AFS off. Also, fit a standard wheel on the vehicle instead of the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible.
- If the headlamps cause reflections that make driving difficult (on snowy slopes, for example), push the “AFS OFF” switch to turn the AFS off.
