This feature is really annoying to me, and I turned it off, curious what anyone else thinks ??

I agree with the users. I find it works well.

My location is rural and it works fine for me. I use it all the time.

Here in the suburbs, it works fine for me. There are lots of dark roads here, many of them two lane blacktop with hills and turns.

I use it all the time and think this feature works brilliantly ��

For me they work about 80% of the time. I've found that when following silver colored vehicles, for some reason they start flashing on and off. The guy in the silver car thought I wanted him to pull over.

Straight, flat roads aren't really a thing here, and unfortunately the auto high beams get antsy sometimes when the road is undulating and there are other cars about. And other times they don't activate at all, even if they should.

I'm gonna say this feature's performance is lackluster.

That condition is specifically mentioned in the OM as affecting performance of the system.

I have a situation where the exit from my subdivision is a 'T' intersection with nothing directly in front of the car. As I'm coming out the auto high beams will come on and then, once I complete the turn, quickly go back to low beams because of oncoming traffic. Not a failure just an environmental condition beyond the capability of the system to handle. It never fails to switch back to low beam but to an outside observer it may look like I'm flashing my high beams.

I like the feature and leave it on all the time, works for me.

As I understand it if you turn your lights on manual from Auto disables the auto high beams. I think its a great safety feature. I used to fuss at my wife for not using her high beams (and fog lights) when she drove on rural roads in her CRV. They will obviously go on and off in urban areas. I guess I'll try and find a silver SUV to test the sensitivity. Commons for someone with fog lights on whether they help much. I find the regular lights give excellent side illumination.

I’m having the issue with them where I’m driving behind a car and it flashes them here and there. The last thing I want to do is piss off the dude in front of me and have them slam on the brakes or try to do something crazy because they think I’m trying to continuously flash them

Wander

Yeah, don't go around flashing people or they will think you're some kind of creep.

Will be deactivating. I'm not in a rural area and the constant on/off is annoying. And yes, I also get flashed on low beam. My Advance has a high cutoff and I can tell when I'm blinding oncoming cars. I don't know what's up with that.

RENARELLO

I have control issues. Don't like 'em.
Turned it off.

russianDude

No, its stupid. I am capable to turn it on at the time when I need it.

SVTour

Personally think these are a horrible design vs other manufactures.

In western PA, where roads are curved, they have a tendency to blind others before shutting off. There is a couple second delay with them shutting off vs other cars I've owned (jeep and audi)

2nd...and the worse part of this, is the double flick high to turn on/off. Should just have it as a setting in the MMI and turn on with typical high beams so you can override the off and not flash others while trying to disengage. I have yet to have this go o e favorable...and typically get a flash back thinking I'm being a douche.

I turn them off...

DJA123

I'm a neighbor. Yep, roads here have lots of curves and ups and downs. The auto feature is all but useless in these situations. I'm getting flashed even on low when slightly higher than oncoming traffic. The LEDs are very bright and the cutoff seems high.

To be fair, I too have been dazzled by newer cars so i guess having brighter lights is just better for those behind them.

It's been a year since I posted to this thread, saying I use the Auto High Beams. Nothing has changed in this regard, I always use them with great results. I would really miss them if I bought a car without this feature now.

tommytqt

I would love to enjoy it but....i have to drive above 45mph to have it on. Does not make sense in a small local road at night.

Cuzz

I agree, auto hi beams suck. I never use them. I only want my high beams to come on when I want them to. Never on their own.

JB in AZ

This is why they gave us a choice.
