Hello. I've just bought Qashqai Tekna + and when I turn the steering wheel R/H the headlight moves to right. But when turn the wheel to L/H no movement occurs. Is this normal? Is there any test I can do before going to shop.
Tks

Welcome to this forum.

Someone asked this question recently - I'll see if I can find it.

I can't find the posting I made a month or two back.

Check out https://www.nissan-global.com/EN/TECHNOLOGY/OVERVIEW/afs.html

It notes "The right-side lamp does not move when the vehicle is stopped". Might this be anything to do with it?

The only test is to try driving along and turning right and left - an empty car park might be useful.

When you start the car (2019) in the dark, both adaptive headlights do a little swivel in then out as though initialising themselves.

Thank you to all of your answers. I've take qashqai to shop but they say that adaptive headlights only turn to righ hand side.... I don't know if I should believe that answer but it's all I've got for now....

I can confirm that when turning right, my right hand headlight swivels right and when turning left, my left headlight swivels left.... (When driving)

Taken from the official QQ brochure...

The Adaptive Front Lighting System controls
light distribution to improve your visibility at night.
On a winding road, it will change the lighting pattern
to compensate for the curve and at a crossroads, it
will illuminate your chosen direction – left or right.
