Automatic Front Headlight problem

[podifz]

Hi everybody,
long time reader of this forum, I finally have a question.

I have a 2023 Premium Extended RWD since July 2023, and since a few weeks, the automatic Headlight is problematic.
It's enabling full lights much too often when it should not.
For exemple, I'm following a car and it's turning on. Or I have a car 50meters in front, coming at me, and suddenly it's putting the full lights ON.

Has anybody else got this problem?
I need to turn off automatic headlights every time I get in the car now, or I put full lights ON and then OFF at the wheel, to turn off automatic.

FYI, My front screen is clean, and no fog at those moments

Have a nice day

Are you talking about the High Beams? I turned them off on day one because I’ve never been in a vehicle that they work properly in. Plus, I guess I’m a control freak and want to turn the brights on when I choose.

I did see another thread about this recently on here and other people were saying the same thing.

See: https://www.macheforum.com/site/thr...-auto-dim-headlights-working-correctly.33064/

So far, the two complaints posted here are from European drivers, so perhaps something specific to an update rolled out there? Small sample size but certainly somebody in the USA would have complained by now given the majority of users here are in the States.

Yes, sorry, I meant the High beams. The truth is it was working quite Ok before (or maybe since it was night later, I could have not noticed that much.

It's funny that the other thread is also from today.

Maybe it's not relevant, but I have the FitcamX dash cam

I believe the top camera (windshield) determines when the high beams activate. If you noticed a recent change in how they work, the first thing to check is all your cameras are clear, although I think it would throw an error if they weren't. Might also be a software update, I'm stuck on 6.7 and mine still work as well as when I bought the car (no change for me).

I think the sensors for that are in the rear view mirror but not positive.

I have a 2023.0 with 6.3.0 update and High beams works like a charm, I generally see the auto-high beams being very responsive

I had few encounter flash from the opposite side but not because of the high beams (they were low) I think it is mostly due to the height difference between cars and/or elevation/angle or the road, it happens a few times, but not specific to the MME

Maybe the FitcamX is obstructing the top sensor/camera
Try to remove it, and test high beam for a few days to see ....

I feel really Stupid!

My dealer didn't explain this to me when I took delivery, but I, in fact, have the Glare Free High Beams. Which means it's only turning off a small square light where the opposite cars are situated.

I searched for this online before, and I didn't find any news, so I really didn't think I had this. But after testing it myself, and letting it work alone (it's confusing at first), it's really working good.
It's called Matrix Led in France.
