Take a look at the "Automatic High Beam Conrols" in the owners manual. Starts on page 119 of my manual. That should answer in detail what you are asking.

Auto high low beam only works if your light switch is set to the auto position. Double check that too.

I need this. Hoping to learn Forescan soon. Is there a specific Forescan instruction on enabling just this feature? TIA.
I already use this for clearing or reading codes with OBDlink ios app
OBDLink MX+ OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner for iPhone, Android,
Hey Steve Forscan is pretty simple. Just make sure you back up all you modules first. I was impatient and jumped right in before I knew exactly what I was doing. My steering wheel buttons quit working and I was pretty nervous. I restored the modules with the Forscan backup and all was good.

I suggest you go slow and start with the seatbelt chime indicator. You can always re-enable it if you like that feature. We are religious belt users but sometimes on long road trips my wife needs to access our car fridge or untangle the dog's seatbelt cable.

Your Bluetooth dongle might work for all the modules. I bought a less expensive one and there is one module it doesn't have enough power to read. So I use the BT one for Carscanner and wired for Forscan.

I suggest this wired adapter which works perfect on my Lariat ER. Forscan is free 60 days if I remember correctly. You need to send them an email for the license.

I would skip the Lincoln Fold mirrors. I didn't realize you lose your approach lights if you enable that option. I will be changing mine back.

This is the thread I used to learn Forscan:

https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/f150-lightning-forscan-thread.11406/

Matrix lights, disable seatbelt chime and disable double honk on exit of running vehicle were all that I cared about.

The Matrix lights are incredible on pitch black roads at speed.

Cleaned up the thread to put it back on a single topic concern, I do my best but things get out of hand at times.

BTW, I moved several posts to the following thread related to Seat Belt minder chimes

https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/disable-seatbelt-chime.14202/

Now back to discussions about head lights & high beams..
