I've noticed a quirk with my new 2019. I keep the lights on auto. My 04 had that feature and that's what I'm used to. So several times when driving at night, either the high beams will go on and turn off or they will come on and stay on until I turn them off. I'm going to try turning the lights to on instead of auto and see what happens but wanted to throw that out there to see if anyone else experienced this. I apologize if this has already been discussed or in a different thread.

 

It sounds like your auto high beams. Try turning them off in the settings menu.

 

I have the XL so I didn’t think I had an option for that. I read your response hen googled it. Sure enough, the Ford site has instructions on it. I’m gonna try it out later. Thank you

 

I noticed a similar quirk in my '19 XLT. I also keep mine in auto. When driving for a while at night, especially city driving where the light function changes often I'll notice the auto headlight identification on the dashboard center info screen will go away. At that same time the high beams wont come on automatically anymore. All I do whenever I see that is turn it the lights to "on" then back to "auto". Almost like it resets whatever controller does the high beams auto.atically.

 

I hate vehicles that have auto high beams.

All the time when someones behind me, their lights will go high beam, low beam, etc, etc... very annoying.

 

My wife's RX350 has auto highbeams, and it is very precise system. I've had it toggle off before I even think in my head to check that they are off or not

 

I don't believe that it has anything to do with your lights being on or auto position. You have to go into your settings on your dash and turn the auto high "brights" off. This will solve your "quirk"
