Auto high beam speed change?

[Tim d]

I don’t think they operate on speed.

They do,when you get down to a certain speed the dims come on automatically.i find it annoying!

the auto high beam have nothing to do with speed other that the activation point is over 25mph. the auto headlights adjust according to whether or not the camera detects another vehicle approaching or you approaching another vehicle from behind.

from the manual:

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM CONTROL REQUIREMENTS
The system turns the high beams on if all of the following occur:

• You switch the system on.
• You set the lighting control to the autolamps position.
• The ambient light level is low enough that you require high beams.
• There is no traffic in front of your vehicle.
• The vehicle speed is greater than approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM CONTROL LIMITATIONS
The system turns the high beams off if any of the following occur:

• You switch the system off.
• You set the lighting control to any position except autolamps.
• The ambient light level is high enough that you do not require high beams.
• The system detects an approaching vehicle's headlamps or a leading vehicle's tail lamps.
• The system detects severe rain, snow or fog.
• The system detects street lighting.
• The camera has reduced visibility.
• The vehicle speed falls below approximately 19 mph (30 km/h

Learn something every day! Don’t like Fossil’s post, he is trying to catch me on the reaction score list!

Does reaction score count get one a weekly cookie??

Just a feeling of superiority!

Sorry I have been working humility.

You are sorta contradicting yourself...

Obviously, the OP was looking to change the minimum speed, which is a factor that is set by Ford, and may be something that can be adjusted in FORscan.

What’s that?

Not contradicting myself at all, if you read the response I posted it said “ the auto high beams have nothing to do with speed other than the activation point” everyone thinks Forscan can program everything in the vehicles and it can’t. I

I guess you don't understand what a contradicting statement is. You said it has nothing to do with speed, other than the activation point. That in itself is contradicting and that is precisely what the OP was asking about. Your whole post including quotes from the manual were unnecessary and don't really help the OPs question.

 

[dc73pdsgt]

Disagree so I guess we just agree to disagree

 

[dearbulls]

I'd love to drop it to 0 mph.

 

[Ruggybuggy]

I'm still waiting for an answer if the activation speed can be adjusted with forscan. I live in a rual area with a slow and twisty road with lots of animals and would like to activate at lower speeds.

Yep, can turn off on auto because of porch lights, etc. auto can be turned off and the stalk can be used to turn high beams on and off at will.

You can change this in Forscan (at least I could on my Ranger, but haven't specifically looked for this on the Maverick). It is activated and deactivated by speed when other criteria are met.

Do you recall what modules were involved or how you were able to change the speed t which it operated?
