main beam

[conrail]

only had my QQ since March, last night first drive in the dark, always have headlights on automatic, tried to put main beam on only to find it wasn't working, tried flashing, all ok, got home and played around with the lights and found main beam works when switch set to headlight but not when set to automatic and here was I planning a trip to the dealers

Conrail, it is always worth a read of the Main Points in the Manual so you do not become stuck - Dave

Like he says above.

It works brilliantly and one of the things I had to give up on my present car. Hardly ever got a "foot wrong"

thank yoyu DaveBerlin and gloucester, I appreciate your help and advice, I have read and reread the manual on various points, must have missed that bit, once again thank you both

Because of the system, I never run at night with auto lights, it is the first car I have had where you cannot override the main beam with just a push of the stalk. I have had cars with auto lights before, but the main beam was a manual operation. Personally, I hate this system.

[gloucester]

You can override the main beam by returning the lever to the central position.

thank you gloucester

have to say I agree, one of the few systems that works exactly as expected

thanks guys, out last night on a dark quiet road, had lights on auto and pushed main beam, works just fine, every time another vehicle approached car put lights to dip then back full on after car passed, once again many thanks for your help and advice
