And you have to be above 32mph for the auto high beam to work.

 

above 32 mph, switch on A for auto

 

If you have it, it is inexplicably buried in the advanced menu under lighting and can only be accessed while at a full stop.

Has to be enabled in that menu, have to be traveling a certain speed as mentioned, and the actual headlight switch has to be set to auto for them to function.

You should be able to pull the stalk back and hold it, using the "flash to pass" feature to hit an offending bright light non-dimmer.

 

I didn't know I had this feature when I bought the truck. It was a pleasant surprise and I quite like it. I can see how it's polarizing, similar to auto start/stop (which I was certain I'd disable before buying the truck based on previous experience in an Audi rental car, but I find Ford's implementation much better and have left it on so far).

 

That concept doesn't seem to work too well for me anymore.
I flash people with high beams ALL TH TIME and nobody even flashes me back never mind returns to low beam! haha

 

Auto high beams - on a 2017??

 

What does your comment mean? One question mark is confusing, never mind having two?

@randc42460 , You're asking if your 2017 had auto brights?
You asking if 2017 offered the feature?

 

Just took this picture for another poster asking about the Tow/Haul indicator so thought it would be good to post again here You can see the light Boomer mentions to the right of the Tow/Haul light and underneath the 'door open' penguin. The light cycles between off, auto and high beams on (blue) when you press the stalk forward and the feature is enabled in the menu (which I believe it is by default).

 

I tried mine for the first time since getting the truck and compared to my wife's 2020 X3 they are pretty flaky. I drive to work at 5am so there's virtually no traffic on the roads I take and at times they can't seem to tell the difference between Christmas lights on houses or street lamps and vehicles. They operate more like the ones BMW had several years ago....those would switch off on hill I go over where there's some red lights on some towers hundreds of feet off the road. BMW's have gotten a LOT better to where I leave them on in the X3 when I borrow it. The Ford's are not terrible mind you, just for me not worth leaving on....especially since the LED low beams I put in work so well.
