You can also manually turn an individual

High Beam Headlights
By default, Auto High Beam is enabled to
allow high beam headlights to automatically
switch to low beam when there is light
detected in front of
Model 3 (for example,
from an oncoming vehicle). To control this
feature, touch
Controls > Lights > Auto High
Beam or touch Auto on the lights popup that
displays on the touchscreen when you pull
the turn signal stalk toward you.
In situations where high beam headlights are
o (for example, lights are turned o, or Auto
High Beam is active and light is detected in
front of
Model 3) or you are driving in
daylight, you can temporarily turn on high
beams by pulling the turn signal stalk toward
you. When you release, high beam headlights
turn
o (unless of course, Auto High Beam is
engaged and light is not detected in front of
you). To briefly flash the high beam
headlights, pull the turn signal stalk towards
you and immediately release.
NOTE:
Your chosen setting is retained until
you manually change it.
The following indicator lights are visible on
the touchscreen to show the status of the
headlights:
Low beam headlights are on.
High beam headlights are on
and Auto High Beam is
disabled or currently
unavailable.
Auto High Beam is enabled
and high beams are on.
Model 3 is ready to turn o
the high beams if light is
detected.
Auto High Beam is enabled
but high beams are not on
because light is detected in
front of Model 3. When light
is no longer detected, high
beams automatically turn
back on.
WARNING: Auto High Beam is an aid
only and is subject to limitations. It is
the driver's responsibility to make sure
that the headlights are appropriately
adjusted for weather conditions and
driving circumstances.
