Due to US regulations, Adaptive Driving Beam is not activated in the US market. With the introduction of Pixel headlights - this feature is now possible without expensive hardware upgrades.
ADB allows the high beams to stay on by dimming small segments around vehicles. Pixel headlights were specifically built to work in this mode.
The Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) automatically adjusts the dipped beam headlights to suit the vehicle’s speed and weather conditions.
AFS automatically switches between 4 modes of operation:
Country mode offers a standard headlight beam.
City mode offers a wider headlight beam.
Highway mode offers a raised headlight beam.
Adverse weather mode offers a wider headlight beam with a less reflective pattern.
Common questions
Do I need new headlights?
No, but you need the factory Pixel headlights. If your vehicle has them, the feature is a software activation. The VIN lookup checks this.
Is it legal in the US?
Adaptive driving beam has been permitted in the US since 2022. It was left switched off on vehicles delivered before regulations caught up, which is what this activation turns on.
