I have a new Sportage 1.6T-GDi Hev Gts Auto AWD. With my lights set to Auto, I push the stick forward to engage the HBA High Beam Assist and the green auto light appears in the cluster panel. When conditions are met the main beams come on… but since testing they don’t like dipping for oncoming traffic or when pulling onto a bypass behind other traffic.
Am I missing something? Can you adjust the sensitivity?
thanks Eddie

Hi Eddie,

do you mean the high beam icon on the dash (blue icon) is always on ?

if so then this is correct and i suspect that if it wasn't working correctly you would be getting plenty of angry flashes from oncoming motorists.

having used it myself over the winter i was amazed at how good and how rapidly it adapted the light pattern and the available lighting whilst following other cars or with oncoming traffic was remarkably good !!
Yes … so are you saying , that the lights dip but the icon remains blue? Seems weird but I take your point about angry oncoming traffic. I will try again tonight. I just panicked when blur stayed on and turned off manually… seems strange though, but thanks
