My hi beams stay on too long when oncoming traffic is approaching. Does anyone know if there is any type of sensitivity setting?

The instructions to adjust the sensitivity are on page 248 of OM. They do state that this is temporary. They don't state how long temporary is ??

When you read the conditions for the Auto high beams to work properly, don't think I'll be using them anytime soon. 100 years of flicking the switch for me, no big deal using it manually.

I tried it it my vehicle with the triple beam. It does work quite well. However, the other driver will see the high beam for a fraction of a second before it switch back. I'm not comfortable with using it. The roads I'm on are winding and with incline and decline.
And to be honest, the light is already an annoyance for a lot of people and already plenty bright. I don't see the need of using it unless you're trying to look up at a sign at night. I already have a couple of oncoming drivers flashed at me because they probably think my normal lights are high beam.
