I sometimes drive over 140kmph when passing etc. on two lane roads. Lights come on, because i did turn "highway lights" option on, but then it does not switch to DRLs until I do stop or almost stop the car. Is this expected behavior?

If it is correct behavior - Can the 140kmph be changed to something more reasonable for this like 200kmph when you actually want lights on autobahn or something. Or even  better can it just switch back to drls when doing normal speeds like 100 (or even 60 kmph in town would be acceptable threshold)?

 

[all mentioned speeds above are indicated, and equal to real local speed limits etc. ]

 

I do have cheap aftermarket head unit (which, for me, is least bad option of all the head units I considered), but when the lights come on, it correctly switches to night mode, that I did set up to be reasonably dim for the night, so I cannot see what the HU is showing, luckily it is not an android based unit, unluckily, it means, there is no easy backlight intensity setting workaround.

Yes, I'm the type who hates modern cars with glossy black mirror screens etc. So that is why there are brightness shenanigans going on, but all this I wrote just to avoid unnecessary questions about WHY does the, currently experienced by me, behavior of "highway lights" bother me. 

Only reason I even fitted switch with auto lights position was to get the automatic HU brightness switching when entering tunnels etc.

 

 

Is there a way to find out from datalog or something what was the last reason headlights were switched on?

That sounds normal to me.

 

I don't remember any adaption channels or other methods to control the speeds at which highway lights turn on/off.
