Mazda 3 Owners Manual: Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
The adaptive front lighting system (AFS) automatically adjusts the headlight beams to the left or right in conjunction with the operation of the steering wheel after the headlights have been turned on.

- Even if the AFS is not operating due to some malfunction, the normal headlight function is still operable.
- If there is a malfunction with the headlight auto-leveling function, the indicator light flashes.
AFS OFF switch
Pressing the AFS OFF switch turns off the AFS. The AFS OFF indicator light in the instrument cluster illuminates.
