Automated high beam headlights

[Banman]

This is an exceptionally splendid attribute... during a nocturnal drive (outside urban locales), I relish activating them and allowing them to remain on, confident that the vehicle will graciously dim the high beams upon detecting an approaching car. I have never experienced this feature in any vehicle prior, so I am thoroughly enjoying it.

Is this an upgrade that is frequently adopted by individuals?

I possess that feature on our Hilux, and I despise it.

Could I enquire about the reason? I possess an ALS on my S204 and appreciate every aspect of it.

I disabled it on my device. It lacks sufficient speed and sensitivity, resulting in frequent flashing, and it fails to operate below 30 mph, as it presumes you are in an urban environment; however, many local roads have speed limits under 30 mph where high beam is necessary.

I lower the headlights for an approaching vehicle, and they revert to high beam.
- A different vehicle is nearing me from around a bend, activating its high beams as it turns the corner.
A perfectly straight road causes the main beam to activate as the approaching vehicle is too distant for the system to detect, dazzling the oncoming motorist.

I thoroughly detest that system, and it has become customary for me to deactivate it promptly upon starting the engine.
