My auto high beams work really well on my 2022 Hybrid. But, as it should be at night, when you are approaching another vehicle they automatically dim. Wide open highway, no incoming traffic, they automatically return on high beam on my "HEADLIGHTS".
First thing I turned off was the auto high beams, useless. If I need them I bump the stalk.
Nope. But this is where I miss having fog lights as they illuminate more to the side (or be like my 2014 Escape which actually had turn lights that illuminated when slow and turning).
In terms of fog lights, I've grown to greatly appreciate having them on my vehicles; they add that extra touch of visibility. And with much of the new headlight styles/technology out there, I find the light patterns are greatly "cut off" or well-defined at the top where you're not getting additional visibility above a certain view line. That's been my experience, your milage may vary.
Out of curiosity, have you had your charging system checked? Your symptoms vaguely remind me of a vehicle I once had where the alternator was starting to go. Dim lights at idle, brighten when giving the gas. Of course, this was back when we either drove cars or opted to ride dinosaurs.
Yeah, the new Mav's lights are like that. Clear terminator line up top between lighted and . They're really a step down from the Escape Titanium's (but I'm finding lots of features that aren't there...hello memory seats? Dimming rear view?) which were brighter and had a "fuzzier" terminator. I'm learning that "A Lariat's a Lariat (except when it's a Maverick)."
My Makita is off by 5 psi, but it is "accurate" as far as being consistent, so I can easily adjust for it. I set it to 30, and it's 35 every time on my jaco.
If you bought your Maverick to be a tire gauge, you will be sadly disappointed.
Did you get the free fill air at 78% nitrogen or opt for the addition $$ for the 100% nitrogen fill?
yes
You might confirm you've had all the recalls done.
Agree on the terrible concept of integrating the turbo & hybrid in same manual. That's cheesy, cheap. Separate manuals would be better. However, not the worse manual ever. I've seen worse, especially those accompanying Chinese products, written by someone who's first language is certainly not English. Nuf said.
The TPMS polls each sensor individually and slowly, it takes minutes to get an updated reading on all four locations. The update time is to slow too use while adjusting tire pressure. Also, the air pressure will vary with temperature. Just because you put in 35psi does not mean it stays there, driving down the road will increase temp and therefore pressure, ambient temp will affect pressure, even sunlight hitting one side and not the other will cause a different pressure.
I have always set my tire pressure with a quality gauge. I just wanted to test how good that built in pressure deal is… survey sez “not very good”.
Some don't realize that the gate on the dash doesn't change instantaneously. An accurate reading only occurs after being driven. So you are right that a person should use a mechanical gauge for accuracy. The sensors usually settle in at a reading that's "close enough". But it's not meant to bec00% accurate.

That's
The lights are operating exactly as designed. Every Ford that I've driven that has Auto dimming headlights operates in the same manner. When you slow down they go to low beam automatically. I think most other vehicles do the same. I believe it's because a lot of people when they slow down in the scenario you are describing, they tend not to dim their lights even if there's oncoming traffic because they are laser focused on trying to find whatever they're looking for. However , it can be easily overridden by manually turning the high beams on if you need the extra vision at the time.Out of curiosity, have you had your charging system checked?
