What does AFL light maintenance mean?
2 Answers
AFL light maintenance means that the automatic headlights need to be repaired. The AFL light is part of the automatic headlight system. Every time the vehicle starts, the headlights perform a self-check by moving up, down, left, and right. The main function of headlights is to illuminate the road ahead and alert pedestrians or other vehicles to the presence of the car. Automatic headlights can turn on when ambient light is insufficient, ensuring driving safety. The automatic headlight feature only works when the light control is set to the automatic mode (AUTO mode). This allows drivers to avoid the hassle of manually switching the lights on when needed and also prevents forgetting to turn on the headlights at night or in poor lighting conditions, thereby enhancing driving safety.
AFL light repair means there's an issue with your car's Adaptive Front-lighting System that needs fixing. This system automatically adjusts the headlight angle during turns or on slopes to improve nighttime visibility and safety. The most common problems are dirty or faulty sensors - splashed mud in bad weather can cause misjudgment, or the bulbs themselves may age and malfunction. Once during rainy weather, I noticed my headlights kept swaying erratically; after inspection, it turned out dust accumulation on the sensor was interfering with signal transmission, and a simple cleaning restored normal operation. Repair costs vary significantly depending on the complexity of the issue - minor problems can be DIY fixes, while major ones require professional shop attention, otherwise driving at night with compromised visibility could be dangerous. Regular maintenance like avoiding muddy parking spots and periodically cleaning light covers can reduce failure risks.
