Default Auto headlight adjustment

I have had this warning on and off again. its a little symbol of a headlight with up and down arrows.

I am looking in the Bently to see what the deal is. anyone else have this problem. Usually it will come on while driving in traffic. I restart the car and it goes away. The other day it came on. I restarted again, went off. Got in the car next morning driving in traffic came on again.

It has come on three times in the last six days. Any ideas?? It has not come on the last two times I drove the car. I figure the codes will be stored so I can get it fixed under warranty. I hope they will with the stored codes, but they might want the warning to be on.

Default Probably the arm for the sensor is shifting around on the control arm. Mine does that too.

the clip isn't quite tight enough. Check the sensors in the front and rear (both on drivers side).

Default Sensor may have broke. Mine snapped and occasionally would stay off. Go up or down a hill and BLING

back on! $500 to replace at dealer. So I used a Nylon tie to reconnect.

$500 for the sensor? That's insane. If it's broken, use 2 part epoxy. I've done that 2x now.
