AFS Lighting Working?

[bobmc]

My IS250 SE-L is supposed to have AFS but I'm not sure they're working. AFS is enabled in the menu system but I can't see any change in beam pattern when driving along winding country lanes at night.

On startup, my headlights self-level - they go up and down, but there's no side to side movement - should there be?

On start-up they wont move horizontally - when the headlights are on and it needs to be dark to spot it as its not very noticeable but once you do see them move then its noticeable every time but only when driving.

Its easier to spot the movement when straightening up after a tight turn in the dark - if you look through the centre of the two beams (centre line down bonnet when driving) you will see the beams close up (level out) with the road again and like I said, when you notice it then you will see it easier the next time.

I am not too sure if they are activated after a certain speed?

Thanks for replying, I wasn't sure if there should be a horizontal movement on start-up so thanks for confirming that. 

I believe that speed and steering angle are involved which is why you can't see them move while manouvering for example.

Think you have to be doing around 30mph for the AFS to function

Remember on my is220d se-l had AFS light used to adjust according to Road surface and on country roads adjust it too due to darkness. do miss this function as my is250 hasn't got it, it's got Manuel one not auto.
