Prius PHEV Adaptive headlights.

Whilst the LED headlights are excellent for their range and spread, I notice they can be a little slow to dip for on-coming traffic to the extent I get the occasional full-beam treatment in return. I can’t find anything relevant in the settings menu, so does anyone know whether the “sensitivity” can be adjusted?

I don't believe it can. I doubt it could be a simple sensitivity setting anyway, because it uses its camera to 'intelligently' decide when to move the shutters to block the beams. Sadly, it's not intelligent enough to be courteous.

I think the manual talks about this at page 712 if I aint got it all wrong.

The light sensor sensitivity adjustment you're referring to doesn't affect the sensitivity of the auto high beams to oncoming traffic. It's just the setting for how sensitive the auto dipped beam is at coming on when it's dark.

The problem of responding late to oncoming traffic is an inherent problem with all AHB systems, as witnessed by the increasing number of cars which are late to dip.

Sorry. My bad
