Have a 23 CX5 under 10k miles -under 1 yr old - recently when attempting to use the High Beam switching feature - The high beams didnt come on.
It was dusk and I suspected it was not dark enough- I had operated it many times prior without issue - So I waited until it was pitch black and still no go- I had the green dash indicator saying it was operative / engaged but the HBs wouldnt light up -- unless i went manual on the stalk - I stopped and recycled everything and then shut the engine down, for a full reboot of everything - Still not working - I suspected that something had impaired the lens on the top the of the windshield where the sensor is located - checked , cleaned --ok . It was below 32 degrees outside -- so , I know electronics act up in cold or hot extremes - Later that night on another trip it started working - Mystery not solved -- I honestly dont like many of the electronic features / which I wont list -- but High Beam switching for oncoming vehicles is actually one I like and believe its a big safety feature that keeps the driver involved in the driving process as opposed to making you passive --- I hope it keeps working --anyone else have any experience with this ? Thnx- Trip s to the dealer for minor warranty stuff is a P.I.T.A. - so not going ..there
