Auto high beam?
This may have been discussed in some other thread. I have tried everything I could but I cannot get the automatic high beams to turn on in dark areas at night. I can obviously do this manually by pulling the turning signal stick towards me but why doesn’t it work by itself? Certainly Mercedes has this option on the EQS580, right?

First make sue the rotary light dial is on auto (middle position) then push the signal stalk forward. The headlight indicator on the screen will show 2 lights the green one (headight low beam on abd next to it another white healight with an A on it.

FYI: I frequently drive on a very crooked residential street that has potential for deer running across the road. For this I set the rotary dial to manual and use the signal stick to keep the headlights on high all the time.

With winter coming on, and if we’re out in my car, I should be able to check on it.

Is the street well lit? Mine don’t turn on in my neighborhood. I think the reason is that there are too many street lights. I have yet to see the high beams turn on automatically. I sure hope they turn on when I’m driving in roads that are dark now that I have it set up correctly.

1st tee time is 7:32. It's a 30-45 minute drive, depending on rush hour traffic, so I leave in the dark this time of year. But, yes, I have played in the dark. Night golf, with glow in the dark ***** and glow disks in the holes is a lot of fun....especially with a lot of beer!
