According to my standard equipment in the technical details in the My Porsche app I have PDLS Plus headlights.
They dont go to main beam when no cars are in front or approaching.
Its a UK car, 2022 Turbo ST.
The headlight says Led Matrix on it so i think it should do.
Any ideas?

You need to first confirm that you have that feature as it may not be standard equipment.

At least in the US, you can generate your original Window sticker in the App to see the Standard and Optional features. The other way to know is that when you engage your High Beam a letter A appears inside the headlight icon (bottom area between left and center tube) indicating automatic PDLS+ high beam engagement, so when conditions are right such as minimum speed is reached and no vehicles detected, High Beams will come on and the icon turns Blue.

Looking at the US manual, Matrix LEDs include PDLS+:

This is how to operate them and Blue icon indicator:

Standard kit so you do have them.

Have you enabled the feature - PCM and pushed the light beam stalk forward to engage full beam (green main beam with 'A" to denote auto beam will appear on the dash).

Settings ->Vehicle light and view~> Exterior headlights -> high beam adjustment when detected

Note that the feature is speed sensitive and only operates above 37 mph and is disabled in areas where there are street lights.
