CAUTION:
  • Perform Steps  34 within 30 s.
  1. Empty the vehicle by having all occupants leave the vehicle and remove all the cargo except for the spare tire, jack and tools equipped on the vehicle.
  2. Adjust the air pressure of each tire to the specified value. (See WHEEL AND TIRE SPECIFICATION ).
  3. Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).
    NOTE:
    • The AFS OFF indicator light continues flashing during the first initial setting, however, continue the work because it does not indicate an improper procedure.

  5. Verify the AFS OFF indicator light.
    • If the AFS OFF indicator light flashes three times at 0.25 s  intervals and turns off as shown in the figure, the initial setting is completed. Go to the next step.
    • If the AFS OFF indicator light continues flashing, the procedure may be performed incorrectly. Repeat the procedure from Step  1.
    • If the AFS OFF indicator light is illuminated, the headlight auto leveling system may have a malfunction. Perform the DTC inspection. (See DTC INSPECTION [ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS)] ).
      • Repair or replace the malfunctioning area, then repeat the procedure from Step  1.
