Tesla MODEL X - Lights

Controlling Lights
Touch Controls > Lights to control the lights.
In addition to the lights that you can control from the
touchscreen, Model X has convenience lights that turn
on and
o automatically based on what you are doing.
For example, interior lights, marker lights, tail lights, and
puddle lights turn on when you unlock Model X, when
you open a door, and when you shift into Park. They turn
o automatically after a minute or two or when you shift
into a driving gear or lock Model X.
1.
Exterior lights (headlights, tail lights, side marker
lights, parking lights, and license plate lights) are set
to AUTO each time you start Model X. 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 change the exterior
light setting:
◦ OFF: Exterior lights turn o until you manually
turn them back on or until the next time you drive.
If daytime running lights are required in your
region, the exterior lights used for this purpose are
always on when Drive gear is engaged.
◦ PARKING: Only the side marker lights, parking
lights, tail lights and license plate lights turn on.
NOTE:
If daytime running lights are required in
your region, the exterior lights used for this
purpose are always on whenever a driving gear
(Drive or Reverse) is engaged.
◦ ON: Exterior lights turn on.
CAUTION: Be sure the headlights and rear
lights are on during low visibility conditions (for
example, when it is dark, foggy, snowy, or the
road is wet, etc.). The rear tail lights are o
while daytime running lights are on. Failure to
do so can cause damage or serious injury.
NOTE: To comply with local trac regulations when
crossing from a left-hand
trac region to a right-
hand trac region, and vice versa, headlights should
be adjusted. If you plan to drive to a region that
requires headlights to be adjusted, schedule a service
appointment using the mobile app.
2.
If equipped, touch to turn the fog lights on or o. Fog
lights operate only when low beam headlights are on.
When headlights are turned
o, fog lights also turn
o.
The front fog indicator displays on the
instrument panel whenever the optional
front fog lights are on.
NOTE: Depending on the market region and vehicle
options, your vehicle may not be equipped with front
and/or rear fog lights.
NOTE: In some regions, there is no control for the
front fog lights. They operate in conjunction with the
headlights and turn on only in situations where low
beam headlights are on.
3.
Turn the interior dome (map) lights on or o. If set to
AUTO, all interior dome lights turn on when you
unlock Model X, open a door upon exiting, or shift
into Park.
NOTE: You can also manually turn an individual dome
light on or o by pressing its lens. If you turn a dome
light on, it turns o when Model X powers o. If
Model X was already powered o when you manually
turned the light on, it turns
o after 60 minutes.
4.
If you turn on AMBIENT LIGHTS, interior ambient
lights turn on whenever the headlights are on.
5. If you turn on Auto High Beam, headlights
automatically switch from high beam headlights to
low beam headlights when light is detected in front
of
Model X. See High Beam Headlights on page 56.
6. If you turn on Headlights after Exit, the exterior lights
remain on for one minute after you stop driving and
park
Model X in low lighting conditions. See
Headlights After Exit on page 56.
