15. AFS - Adaptive Front Lighting Systems

15.2.4. Additional provision to the AFS systems l It shall always be possible for the driver to set the AFS to the neutral state and to return it to its automatic operation. l A mode of a class C, V, E, or W passing beam shall not be modified to become a bending mode so-called T unless at least one of the following characteristics (or equivalent indications) are evaluated: - The angle of lock of the steering. - The trajectory of the centre of gravity of the vehicle. l If the main-beam is adaptive, a visual tell-tale shall be provided to indicate to the driver that the adaptation of the main beam is activated. This information shall remain displayed as long as the adaptation is activated. l An AFS shall be permitted only in conjunction with the installation of headlamp cleaning device(s) if the total objective luminous flux of the light sources of these units exceeds 2000 lm per side, and which contribute to the class C (basic) passing beam. l The adaptive main-beam shall be switched off when the illuminance produced by ambient lighting conditions exceeds 7000 lx. l A visual failure tell-tale for AFS is mandatory.
