Tesla MODEL 3 2012 - Lights

Controlling Lights
Touch Controls > Lights on the touchscreen
to access all light controls, both interior and
exterior.
You can also pull the turn signal stalk toward
you to display a popup that provides quick
access to exterior lights. For example, you can
turn the headlights on or o continuously
(overriding the default Auto High Beam
setting). The lights popup allows you to
adjust all exterior light settings, including
parking lights, fog lights (if equipped), etc.
The setting you choose is retained for the
current drive only.
NOTE: If the touchscreen is already displaying
the full Controls screen for lights, pulling the
turn signal stalk does not display the quick
access popup.
In addition to the lights you can control from
the touchscreen,
Model 3 has convenience
lights that operate automatically based on
what you are doing. For example, in low
ambient lighting conditions, the interior lights,
marker lights, tail lights, and puddle lights
turn on when you unlock
Model 3, when you
open a door, and when you shift into Park.
They turn o after a minute or two, when you
shift or lock
Model 3. Use these settings to
control your vehicle's interior and exterior
lights:
Headlights
Exterior lights (headlights, tail lights, position
lights and license plate lights) are set to
AUTO each time you start Model 3. When set
to
AUTO, exterior lights automatically turn on
when driving in low lighting conditions. If you
change to a
dierent setting, lights always
revert to AUTO on your next drive.
Touch one of these options to temporarily
change the exterior light setting:
NOTE: Any exterior lights (for example,
daytime running lights) that are required to
remain on in your market region will turn on
as appropriate when driving, when parked on
specific types of roads, etc.
OFF Exterior lights turn
o until
you manually turn them
back on or until the next
time you drive.
Only the exterior position
lights, tail lights and license
plate lights turn on.
Exterior lights turn on.
NOTE: Model 3 has a series of LED lights
along the rim of the headlights, also referred
to as "signature" lights. These lights
automatically turn on whenever
Model 3 is
powered on and a drive mode (Drive or
Reverse) is engaged.
CAUTION: The rear tail lights are o
when daytime running lights are on.
Be sure the rear lights are on during
low rear visibility conditions (for
example, when it is dark, foggy, snowy,
or the road is wet, etc.). Failure to do
so can cause damage or serious injury.
WARNING: Always ensure that
headlights are on during low visibility
conditions. Failure to do so may result
in a collision.
Fog Lights
A separate control is available to turn on fog
lights (if equipped). When on, fog lights
operate whenever low beam headlights are
on. When headlights are turned
o, fog lights
also turn o.
Dome Lights
Turn the interior dome (map) lights on or o.
If set to AUTO, all interior dome lights turn on
when you unlock
