Pixel Headlights

[JFDIT]

As a positive amongst all the negatives on here, the Pixel Headlights, with auto main beam shadowing, are excellent. They light up the road brilliantly! And bend round corners too.
Driving at night up North they really prove their worth, maintaining full beam whilst blanking out oncoming vehicles and those ahead. Not had one instance of a complaint from another driver being dazzled. IMO the best driver aid the car has.

I must admit it is a good system. But recently I keep getting "active headlight not available" showing up on the dash, then five minutes later it starts working again!

Could be dirt on the windscreen or front camera

I don't have the Pixel Headlights but the old Active main beam, that uses a camera sensor to turn it off. I've noticed that if I'm driving through a several miles long tunnel, with strong interior lighs which intensity changes frequently, I am getting the message that Active main beam is not available. But then again, it returns when I lave the tunnel. Is it a feature? I don't know

A while back I had contamination on my windscreen causing issues with squeaking wiper blades. Eventually the only thing I found to get it off was 0000 Grade Wire Wool. Used Dry it cleans and polishes the glass like nothing else. I use it regularly now to keep the screen nice and shiny. (But make sure it's 0000 Grade and not a Brillo pad!)

I agree I am very impressed with them

Another safety feature which Volvo only deem to make available on the top spec model!

Having retired I don't drive at night much nowadays but those lights would have been great when commuting home during those dark evenings. Could have done with them on a journey of 12 miles each way a couple of weeks ago when it was dark and raining and the traffic meant dip only. The white lines, including those at the road edge were very worn and indistinct and most of the cats eyes were the old poor ones which made it a bit of a niightmare really. Journey back was better as the traffic had lessened and I could use main beam more.

Don't forget that posters with problems are far more likely to post here than those who are happy with their cars.

I'm happy with my car on the whole but I have to post some negatives to balance out John's positives!

I'm glad I haven't got the pixel lights, I rode in a friends XC60 who had them, and the constant dancing drove me mad! The Idea's great, but the here then there then elsewhere then here again I couldn't cope with. Just shows one persons great feature is another's irritation.
