I have these set on my 2019 S60, non-bendy. OEM settings are the same as yours listed. I'm not sure if you are indicating those are the settings you are expecting to add adaptive llights or just where you start from ;-)
the item 109, on "03 AHB1..." That is the US setting for non-adaptive, on/off function for Auto High Beam, to meet the "old" US regs.
On my car, I change "03 AHB1..." to "05 with AHB2 (Adaptive), High Beam in Small Village" and that enables the adaptive function of Auto High Beam on my car.
Opinions vary quite a bit on what people "see" it seems. They are obvious to me, and I like the function. It takes some time to recognize "it's working" I think. I did a lot of turning AHB on and off when driving at first to catch the differences. You can notice elements of the beam turning off as that happens suddenly, when elements are turned on they "fade" in slowly so it's not as obvious. My advice is enable them and go with it for a while and see what you see.
I find the adaptive useful in more situations. Previously with AHB1, I didn't use them often, just dark back roads, otherwise using the AHB they just flick high-low constantly or not at all when there is enough traffic. Now with AHB2, I can use it in almost any case, for example following other cars the beam will extend as the car in front drifts further from you, and the right side shoulder can be illuminated "bright".
Anyways...that's the setting I use and I like it ;-)
