Default proper functioning?

i have a few questions regarding these features. i'm not sure if they are functioning properly or my car has some problems

1) how drastic do your headlights turn left and right with your wheel?
2) can you hear a blower going under your seats when you turn your seat heaters to 3. I know you can hear a blower when you set it to cold "3"

With the AFS system, your left headlamp will bend up to 15 degrees and the right headlamp will bend up to 5 degrees. You should be able to see them move if it's dark enough and you're going around a big enough corner.

But keep in mind they only function when you're going above a certain speed... if you're just parked and turn your wheel nothing will happen.

You might also wanna check and make sure the AFS is enabled in your dash display computer thing.

The fan only comes on in "cooling" or ventilation mode and not when you use the heaters.

It'll work right away... it's just a heating element. No fan for heating the seat.

Your afs will also turn less drastic the further down the road your lights are pointing. For example, after i lowered my car my lights would turn like crazy but didnt' shoot far down the road. I then adjusted the length they shot down the road and there was less turning.

On a side note, I need to play with the adjustments more. My right one doesn't turn as good as my left.
