Kia Cadenza YG 2016-2025 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

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

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 )

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

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

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

Operation

Component

AFLS Unit (A)

General

System initialization, In case of input Engine signal (AFLS ECU, Levelling /Swivelling motor)

Adaptation of AFLS OFF switch

AFLS operate normally ,only under turning auto light switch on.

Providing Tel-tale function of AFLS (display ‘AFLS’ on dashboard).

In case of system failure, display light on ‘AFLS’ on dashboard

2.	Main function Swivelling function Levelling function Processing signal of Height sensor Control the clynamic bending light

Swivelling Motor (A)

1.	General communicate AFLS Unit through LIN protocol Robust control to Disturbance Doesn''t work out of rated voltage range.

2.	Main function & Rating Drive Low beam to left / right side Fail-safe function : In case of detecting malfunction or system failure , drive to secure position

Levelling Motor (A)

1.	Main spec communicate AFLS Unit through LIN protocol Robust control to Disturbance Doesn''t work out of rated voltage range.

2.	Main function & Rating Drive Low beam to upper / lower Fail-safe function : In case of detecting malfunction or system failure , drive to secure position

Height Sensor

1.	General Height Sensor connecting body & suspension measures inclination information from load condition. Vehicle having the Steel-suspension system transmits inclination signal to AFLS ECU by using Hard-wire.

2.	Rating Rated Voltage : 5V ± 5%
