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 beam 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 beam pattern according to output control signal of AFLS Unit.

Main function of AFLS

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

Advantage of AFLS

ContentDescription
1Enhanced stabilityVisibility Guarantee In case of curve road According to vehicle Speed/Steering angle, speed/angle of Swivel actuator is automatically controlled to provide optimum beam pattern Fail-safe reaction application for Driver on opposite side road -->In case error communication, automatically return initial position of Swivel actuator
2Enhanced convenienceAFLS 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 Fun Drving Function: Swivelling of Low beam --> Increasing driver's pride

AFLS Setting Procedure

When it replace AFLS ECU, H/Lamp Unit, Height sensor, it operates in setting procedure by using Diagnostic equipment following belows.

Parameter is composed of three state (Air-suspension, Steel-suspension, Delivery state)

When AFLS setting procedure operate, necessarily confirm suspension type and then download parameter.

DTC: Diagnostic Trouble Code

DBL: Dynamic bending Light

HLL: Head Lamp Leveling

Vehicle condition while AFLS setting

  1. Vehicle on an even surface
  2. No vehicle movement
  3. Gear position in P & N
  4. Ignition switched on & Engine RPM >500RPM
  5. Diagnostic equipment connected
  6. ALL ECUs on CAN mounted and activated
  7. Battery voltage > 10.5 V (ECU supply to be ensured)
  8. Light switched
  9. AFLS on (Don't push AFLS OFF switch)

Action in case of download wrong parameter

  1. In case Steel suspension vehicle downloaded Air-suspension parameter B1638 (Air-Sus. CAN Signal Timeout) occurred
  2. In case Air-suspension car downloaded Steel suspension parameter B1907 (FRT Sensor signal Fault), B1909 (Rear Sensor signal Fault) occurred
  3. Solution Download Delivery Parameter check up B1661 (Parameter missing) Ignition OFF Ignition ON & Engine RPM > 500RPM Download matching Paratmer (Steel & Air suspension) In case download steel suspension parameter, Calibration have to operate up to setting procedure

AFLS Unit (ECU)

AFLS located in Cockpit Module is provided information of vehicle (steering wheel signal, vehicle speed, inclination of vehicle). Based on provided information, it calculates algorithm and adjust Low beam of H/Lamp.

It transmits driving information by using LIN protocol, it is operated in Fail-safe reaction mode In case system failure occurred.

Swivelling Actuator

Swivelling actuator inside H/Lamp is provided driving information of left/right side by using LIN protocol from AFLS Unit (ECU). It dirve to control position by using step motor.

In case of system failure, it provides function to back to initial position (center).

Levelling Actuator

Levelling actuator inside H/Lamp is provided driving information of upper/lower by using LIN protocol from AFLS Unit (ECU) It dirve to control position by using step motor.

In case of system failure, it provides function to lower to -2.8% or -1.5% position.
