In my part of the UK, a 300-400 metre hill would be considered a mountain :)
About the same here and it's not a hill 300-400 meters high (which would be over twice the height of the highest point in Denmark :D ), it's only a stretch of road 300-400 meters long but in a hilly area :)

Oops - I should have read your posting properly. Understand now. I didn't think Denmark was that hilly :lol:

I'm not from the UK but as far as I can see, it's part of an optional Safety Pack (together with Blind Spot Monitoring) in the UK, so if You didn't order that, You don't have High Beam Control.

In the UK, the High Beam Control System is part of the Safety Pack which is an option at extra cost on the Sport Nav and includes Blind Sport Monitoring.

Edit: As santa said above :~)

Well that's okay then!
I bet it wouldn't stop everyone flashing me cos they think I've got full beams on anyway.

I went nuts trying to work out why my headlight 'auto-dip' feature didn't work. In the end I rang the dealer. 'The auto-dip feature is NOT fitted to UK spec models' - so although it talked about it in the manual it wasn't an option on my car. Now I got mine in Sept 2015, so unless they are now including the auto-dip as a standard on Sport Nav models, and I haven't heard they have, then it isn't fitted. I hope they do in future as I think it's a good feature.

That's why I said 'option at extra cost' ;)

Had all of the same with lane changing and all the rest cured mine after playing. Pull on the windscreen wash and wipe, job done, or clean your windscreen where the sensor's are.
The middle of the road is a dangerous place, you have to take sides. :)

I have the auto lights on both the CX-3 and MX5, but I will never use that setting, it is far too dangerous. I had a Jag about 7 years ago with auto lights and one evening the lights switched on while approaching a junction. The car waiting to pull out thought I was indicating to him and drove out in front of me. As far as I'm concerned they should be banned.
