Kia Cadenza YG: Adaptive Front Lighting System / Description and Operation

Kia Cadenza YG 2016-2021 Service Manual / Body Electrical System / Adaptive Front Lighting System / Description and Operation

Description
Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFLS)
AFLS(Adaptive Front-lighting System）is a headlamp orientation control system that takes into account both steering angle and vehicle speed to orient the headlamps to an angle that provides better nighttime visibility.
Variable conditions make lighting pattern of running vehicle kaleidoscope.
Component of AFLS
1.
Input part : It is provided that information of speed sensor, height sensor and so on related to condition of vehicle.
2.
Control part (AFLS Unit) : It controls Output part by analyzing/judging Input signal.
3.
Output part : It drive Low beam of H/Lamp to upper/lower and left/right side optimum lighting pattern according to output control signal of AFLS Unit.
Main function of AFLS

Content
Description
1
Dynamic Bending
(Swivelling)
•
Providing optimum beam pattern in the curve road
1)
Enhanced visibility in the curve road
2)
Drive Low beam to left / right side
2
Automatic Leveling
(Leveling)
•
Compensating Low beam according to inclination of vehicle
1)
Compensation according to static condition (Load)
2)
Compensation according to dynamic condtion (Quick start, Sudden stop )
3
Fail-safe
•
Fail-safe reaction while detecting system failure and malfunction
1)
Detecting signal / communication error for Swivelling
2)
Detecting signal /communication error for Leveling
3)
Detecting system failure

Advantage of AFLS

Content
Description
1
Enhanced stability
•
Visibility Guarantee In case of curve road
•
According to vehicle Speed/Steering angle, speed/angle of Swivel actuator is automatically controlled to provide optimum lighting pattern
•
Fail-safe reaction application for Driver on opposite side road
→In case error communication,automatically return initial position of Swivel actuator
2
Enhanced
convenience
•
AFLS operating application by driver''s selection(AFLS Off switch)
•
Providing Diagnostic function for detecting system failure and malfunction and check up data information (by using Diagnostic equipment )
•
Reduced wiring-harness by Applying CAN/LIN communication in vehicle
