I sent a complaint to KIA. They should go for a non-spring loaded stalk switch for high beam. If the high beam switch does not stay, it defeats the auto high beam feature! It doesn’t make sense.
Unless I'm totally misunderstanding what the op is saying I can't say I agree with you. I own a CX-30 with auto high beam and it stays set in the auto position all the time (provided I've enabled it in the Vehicle Settings) and can turn it off manually if I wish by pressing the "High beam control switch" at the end of the light stalk.
#conwelpic, do you own a Seltos? I know Mazdas don’t have spring loaded high beam switch so they stay in the high beam position. The Seltos high beam switch is spring loaded so when you push it to high beam, it springs back to normal beam but it stays on high beam for the duration of the drive. Once you turn off the engine, the next time you start it, the headlights are back to normal low beam. Pathetic logic.
sorry no, it was my second choice hence the reasons why I have lots of photos of the Seltos as I used this for comparison when making a decision as to which vehicle I was going to purchase.
same in my CX-30 as the sensitivity level can be adjusted.
Why do you need your high beams on when you start your car.I think it is very logical for them to turn off.If you forget to turn them off I don't think other drivers would appreciate it.They don't stay engaged for that reason.I have had cars like the Mazda And I like how the Seltos does it better than the Mazda.
Why? Read this: “Auto high beam headlights”. That’s what I have in my 2021 Seltos SX Turbo. I need auto high beam when driving interstate highway at night, always! The Seltos’ spring loaded switch defeats that feature. Haven’t you driven a car with auto high beam headlights? Oh, it’s nice. At night, the system senses cars up ahead (taillights) and oncoming cars. If there is no taillight or oncoming headlight, the system automatically turns on the high beam. And with my bright LED headlights, I can see much farther ahead. And cruising at 80 mph, I can see hazard (deer, fallen debris on stormy night) way up ahead. I’m so used to driving on the interstate highways at night with tge auto high beam set. With the Seltos, after a gas stop at night, I have to re-engage the auto high beam switch after a stop.
if it is set on "auto" then it just turns on and off depending on the light conditions you encounter, it goes from high to low beam automatically as it senses other cars, street lights, coming up behind a car, etc. Have made use of it a few times and it works very well and reacts very fast. It stays on auto all the time it does not change when I turn the vehicle off, till I physically move the lever from that position, same with my auto sensing wipers.
Not sure what you're really saying. If I set auto high beans in the menu, then it automatically does just that. I do not have to push anything. It stays in auto mode when you restart the vehicle. The only time I have to push the lever is to turn the high beams on manually. Basically, I don't have to push anything once the auto high beam is set in the menu.
There is no auto high beam switch. It's set in the menus
Are you talking about the word "auto" on the left blinker lever? If so, it refers to turning on your headlights automatically when it gets dark out. It does not refer to auto high beams. (US vehicles)
Interesting. Not so in the US. Mmmmmm.
