I bought my wife a 2016 CX-5 Grand Touring w/ Technology package. I noticed there is not a switch to turn on/off the Adaptive Front Lighting System. The dealer told me they quit installing the switch on the 2016 models. Sounds odd to me just trying to verify if this is true. Can anyone out there verify this?

Thank You!!!

 

What does the owner's manual say?

 

The owners manual says there should be a switch...

 

Another name for automatic headlamps?
If so, you could install a defeat switch in two different ways, should you choose to.
1. The sensor is on the top of the dashboard. You could pull it up, clip one of the wires and install a switch between the two cut leads. Or
2. Find the lead at the fuse box that controls the AFLS, cut it and install a switch between those two.

I did this second option to my wife's Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix because she hated the lights coming on on their own, as well as the DRL's.

 

Not the automatic headlights. AFS is a function of the LED headlights. Auto leveling and pivoting when turning.

 

OK I talked to a Mazda rep via the 800 number today. She told me that the AFS option is set to On at the factory and cannot be changed IE no switch...

Thanks for looking...

 

Did you ask them why there's no 2016 CX-5 Owner's Manual available on their own "Manuals & References" page? Try it and see for yourself! https://www.mymazda.com/MusaWeb/sear...7&modelId=2029

 

Beyond my knowledge, Man. But knowing how directional LED's tend to be, I don't know why you'd want to defeat a function like that? It seems to be it would be a necessary evil for LED headlamps.
