Anyone else have to push their high beam stalk twice to get your high beams on ?

@SafetyPilotCal That was my first thought but the low beam lights are still on and they could still move. If the high beam turns on during a turn you ca easily see the lights coming back to the centre position after a couple of seconds. So technically they can still move the low beam lights while the highs are also on. It's a software limitation.
And this limitation + no cornering lights makes it behave much worse than most cars on nice bendy roads like the one below. I just find that sad because it looks like someone forgot to do their job.

Yep. I’m sure its simply someone forgot.

that’s gotta be it.

@nhcowboy28 you act like an annoyed fanboy that can't take any kind of criticism about their new favourite toy.

The Stinger is only my second car with adaptive low beams but my Mazda 6 exhibited the same behavior. I've not thought about it much as I find the high beams on both to illuminate the road sufficiently that adaptive is not needed. I can imagine as well that adaptive high beams could blind an on-coming driver -- particularly in manual mode. Also, more and more states are enacting laws governing car lighting primarily for this very reason. People got tired of being blinded by poorly aimed HIDS.

Nope.

just amazed you think someone just forgot/didn’t think about it.

Could it be...oh I don’t know... A regulation requirement?

Is that your daily commute?

I obviously didn’t mean that they literally forgot to do it. But it is a significant disadvantage compared to other system.
And stating that it’s regulation doesn’t cut it when I have had the feature on another car and you can still buy it on new VW-Audi and other cars that don’t have matrix/laser headlights.
Whatever!

I wish!

Mkay... in the US I doubt it.

Ok, sorry, but just could not let this go.
You say it's regulation. Ok, the US has different regulations than the EU.
But let's take it logically.
1. The US accepts adaptive low beam lights.
2. The Stinger has 2 different laps: one for low beam and one for full beam.
3. While on low beam, the low beam lamp moves left-right.
4. While on high beam, the second lamp turns on and they both freeze centre.
How would allowing the low beams to move left-right while the high beam staying frozen affect the car's ability to respect regulation?
For the ongoing traffic, if the car is coming straight at them, they are seeing the high beam. If the car is coming from a bend, they can see the low beam light, which is fine.
It just doesn't make any sense for me. I think they failed to design this properly or they thought it's to expensive to develop it and not enough people would use it.
