What are adaptive headlights in a car

The adaptive front lighting system of cars is becoming a favorite among drivers. The system provides a better view of the road and directs the light directly where the driver needs it.

One of the most important factors in reducing driver fatigue and improving safety when driving at night is to provide a well-lit field of vision. The Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) optimizes headlight beam distribution according to driving conditions. Depending on the speed of the vehicle and the direction of the steering wheel, the system directs the dipped beam in the direction in which the driver intends to move.

What are the benefits of the AFS system?

Combined with HID headlights, the system illuminates a greater distance and brighter than headlights, improving the driver's field of vision and improving visibility around corners and junctions during night driving. Together with the auto leveling function, the system ensures a stable light distribution that is not affected by the position of the vehicle. 

By maintaining the light axis, the system helps prevent oncoming drivers from being dazzled when too many people or too much luggage weigh at the rear of the vehicle, or when the vehicle's position changes over bumps or when going uphill.

What is the main purpose of adaptive headlights?

The AFS system is designed to reduce the risk of accidents by providing a well-lit field of view. However, the system has its limitations and no safety system or combination of such systems can prevent all accidents. 

These systems are not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. Always drive carefully and don't rely on technology to avoid accidents. Not all of these systems are available for all models or markets, so please contact your local dealer for details on availability. Please refer to the user manual for additional important system information, restrictions and warnings.
