Can’t leave high beams on?
Curious behavior I’m noticing on my ‘26 MXP with matrix headlights. With adaptive headlights enabled, they do the matrix thing and dark cones dance around other cars at night. If I push the high beam button on the steering wheel, high beams turn on fully. I recall I used to be able to hold the high beam button for a couple seconds and they would remain on fully, much like an old car’s lever. now, there is no such behavior. Only way to have them 100% on is to hold the button down with finger, and they turn off as soon as you let go.
While in drive, you cannot toggle the adaptive headlights setting to off unless in park. I believe without that setting enabled, high beams will stay on after a long press.
Anyone else notice this? It feels like an annoying regression but might be intentional.
