Correct me if I am wrong but the headlights come on automatically when the wipers are activated.
The manual makes it very clear that all the tech like auto wipers, high beam control, radar cruise control and etc may experience situations or conditions that the systems can not decipher. The technology is still in its working stage. For example, the car might not stop automatically if headed towards a picket fence.
In the end, the driver should be in command at all times and not be swayed to let the tech take away responsibility of driving.
I have the default daytime running lights - so i was not looking for headlights to come on, and they do NOT come on automatically when the wipers are on in my experience.
I was only trying to determine why hi beam behavior was unreliable - and I know now it is behaving as expected.
And yes, i agree, it is all up to the driver to make the car behave as it should behave.
