probably lost in translation here, do you mean pull the turn signal stalk towards you for 5 seconds?Try to mantain the left lever for high beam more that 5 second in a completely dark street, the highbeam auto will appear
I have this feature enabled in my current car and for the first couple months just figured it would automatically switch to high beams when it was dark. What I failed to realize is that I still had to push the left multi-function stalk forward to turn the high beam function on. It then turns them on and off as needed.I have it "on" in the infotainment system but don't recall ever seeing the blue high beam icon in the instrument cluster even when the road is pitch dark. How do I get AHB to work? Thanks.
So the auto high beam feature has to be enabled in the entertainment system and the headlight switch has to be in Auto mode and then the multifunction stalk pushed forward turns it on. What if the headlight switch is not in auto? does the multifunction stalk then act like normal highbeams even though the auto highbeam is enabled in the menu?https://youtu.be/nBnDPNxQ80w Here is a partial answer.
Do you have to do this each and every time you start the car?Try to mantain the left lever for high beam more that 5 second in a completely dark street, the highbeam auto will appear
****, no wonder why, that's the one and only option I don't have! (because I actively did NOT want the lane and brake assist "features"). :sadThis is how I understand it: The automatic high/low beam headlamp control is part of the Driver Assist Dynamic Plus Package.
I cannot look it up right at the moment, but if I remember correctly, there is a way to set the sensitivity. Go to settings on the infotainment center and check out under lighting, I believe it has three settings 1, 2 and 3.I just tried it on mine. You push the stalk toward the windshield and hold it for a second. The headlight "Auto" icon will change from green to white.
The HBA seems "slow and lazy". I've seen it turning on only once. Is there anyway to make it more sensitive so it turns on more often? BTW, will it blind oncoming traffic or there's anti-dazzle built-in?

Yes, from my experience 1 is the more "aggressive" (more HB "on") setting.I cannot look it up right at the moment, but if I remember correctly, there is a way to set the sensitivity. Go to settings on the infotainment center and check out under lighting, I believe it has three settings 1, 2 and 3.
here in the States, those are still illegal, so *no cars have them installed. If you have the dynamic driver assist package it does have automatic high beam on the Stelvio (the ONE option I didn't want/get, so I missed out on that :sad).In automatic mode (the handle pushed forward and stays there) they turn on and off all the time.
The genius part of it: it 'reads' other car-lights and will dim that part in the distance where a car is.
So basically that means the high beam is always on, and will light up when possible. If there's a car in front in the same lane, the car will be dimmed, but to the left and right of the car there's the high beam. Same when a car in the opposite lane comes in sight; it dims that car out, but stays in high beam on all the other part of the road.
why is it still illegal? it's more safe than an old school head light...here in the States, those are still illegal, so *no cars have them installed.
