Ya I understand why. My idea is if the car turns on and the sensor sees something static, aka a wall there’s no need to beep unless that distance changes. They’re so smart das Germans but sometimes it’s just 🙄

Like you, I don't leave the headlight switch on auto but I when I do want the headlights on , I switch it to auto rather than to the manual on position. It seems that the headlight auto-leveling system doesn't function when the headlights are switched on manually - only when they are on auto mode. :dunno:

They will auto level when on. The auto on the schedule on the switch only refers to the power.

Yeah, I thought that too but I read somewhere that that wasn't so... I'll see if I can find it.

Mine only have level, not direction btw...

Found it in the user manual - this kinda infers the adaptive lighting only works in the auto position... :dunno:

Yes...that is correct. The HID/xenon headlights will "auto-level" in the adaptive or manual "ON" position. But if you have adaptive headlights...you have to have the switch in the "AUTO" position if you want the headlights to swivel/turn as you drive into curves and corners. :)

Thanks for the clarification, Qsilver7... :thumbup:

Nice to know I've not (yet) gone totally crazy... :D

Wow. I did not know that.

Wonder how one could tell if they had adaptive 🤔🤔

Decided to drive it in steptronic mode today. Much smoother shifts and better fuel economy. Who knew???
