Concerning the automatic dimmer and brighter light settings

[torque2me]

I wouldn't consider this a "need" or even notice its absence as I've never had a car with this feature before. Having said that, I'm more interested in knowing whether other CX-30 owners have experienced intermittent issues with this function.
On occasion, the auto-bright feature performs exactly as I would anticipate it to under ideal conditions; this occurs on the same route night after night, with the same street illumination and everything. On other occasions, the lights don't automatically switch on. One possible explanation is that the 25 mph speed limit in this gated community is not high enough to activate the technology. Like I said before, I'm used to manually switching between low and high beams when needed, so this isn't a huge concern for me. Nonetheless, I find it intriguing.

Yes, if you're referring to exterior lights instead of inner ones. At specific speeds, you can activate either the high beam or low beam functions, or the adaptive headlights (ALH). They all range from 19 to 25 mph, with the exception of ALH's Highway mode, which operates at 65.2 mph or faster. Refer to the handbook for instructions.

Every time I go to a certain place, my high lights go out and blind everybody else on the road, even if there isn't a car just ahead of me. Having learned this, the next time I drive through that area, I will off the automatic high beam feature. In my opinion, the radar and/or camera are being obscured because the area is located near the valley floor, where it flattens out.

Thus, it is undeniably imperfect. The majority of the time, nevertheless, it serves its intended purpose.


Having the high lights turned on is unnecessary when you're in a densely populated region. You can't expect to outdrive low-beam headlights unless you're travelling at highway speeds.

Just curious as to why they automatically turn on at some points along the road but not at others; I'm not driving anywhere that requires them. Joined this community because the people here are so helpful and willing to share what they know.

Additionally, I normally keep this high beam setting disabled where I live because it blinds individuals strolling down the road.

Sure, the system only functions over 25 mph, but I really like this feature. Even if there are parts of Puerto Rico that are dark, the system for turning on street lights works great, at least in my opinion.
