I have had my passport for 2 weeks now and have gone over the instructions on how to enable it. I have even taken it back to the dealer and they have kept it overnight for 2 nights and told me it’s working only to find out on my way hone that evening that it’s still not working.
I mean the headlight icon with the A in the middle is not even visible when driving at night.

Does anyone have a suggestion on what should be my next move to get this resolved?

Ask the Dealer...

The indicator light will show up when starting the car. Read p. 174-5 in the owners manual to reset the system if the indicator isnt on. It has to be dark, power ON, light switch in AUTO and headlights automatically activated. I've found it needs to be super dark and no reflected light for the high beams to be activated.

I’m not impressed with the auto brights. It rarely activates the brights even when there are no cars coming towards me. I think the lights reflecting off street signs conflicts with activation. Rather do it myself..

 

[mnichols]

That is my take as well. I drove a dark, Montana back road a week ago and tried out the auto headlights for the first time. Many roadside, reflective signs turned off the brights. The field of vision appears too wide for affective usage.

My auto high beams are now acting goofy, they tend to go to high beam when on coming cars with there head lights are on. It seems like they are working backwards. They have worked great for 6 months now they aren't work well.

 

[mnichols]

I’ve had a chance to try them on some less traveled roads in Montana. I had the same thing happen. They, like some of the other automatic features, are pretty rough and lack refinement like the ACC. The features sound good - just don’t work good.

 

[gwendolyn58]

Not sure if you guys know, but the auto light sensitivity can be adjusted in the settings.

 

[dbrown]

Yes there is auto head light sensitivity in the menu system, but there is nothing for auto highbeam.

 

[mnichols]

Doesn’t this setting big only control at what degree of darkness the headlights come on?

Turn on the manual high beam by pulling and holding the lever for 40 seconds not less. You will see the auto sign appears in your dashboard. Make sure it’s dark enough to see it. Of course you need to have your lights on auto mode. To turn off the auto high beam again in case needed pull the lever on more time for 30 seconds.

Hell I didn’t know you could disable the auto high beams, got to do that for sure! Thanks!

is that the auto headlight on/off sensitivity?

I don't think it can be. I tried that uselessly

Nevertheless, I'm not impressed with the feature’s capability to act well when needed. I'm taking my car to the dealer to see if they can calibrate it to be more sensitive.

I suppose yes. Nothing for the high beam’s sensitivity. The frature’s sensitivity is sucks.

fu have to be going like 40 miles and hour too

 

[fgilbert]

fu, do you think I don't know that? even 40 mph and accelerating doesn't turn it on. It rarely happens. I have a Yokun and

fu, do you think I didn't know that. Even @above 40mph and accelerating rarely turns the auto high beam in. I have a 2018 Yukon and a 2017 XTS and never had that ridiculously low level of sensitivity. If you are OK with that I assure you most aren't satisfied with this stupidly calibrated feature.

Ours has worked great but I’m not sure what driving conditions/environment you’re driving in to make it give you problems.
