AFS is for the auto leveling headlights. If the headlights adj. up and down upon initial start it is most likely a problem w/ one of the suspension level sensors. If no movement occurs at start up it could be something more involved.

If the light is flashing there is a code stored in the afs ecu. Must retrieve codes to narrow down the problem area.

I shouldnt worry too much about it.. You're still covered under the factory bumper to bumper 4yrs and 50k warranty.. Call you local dealership and take it in for service.
