High Beam Headlights
Push the turn signal stalk away from you to turn the
high beam headlights on continuously. To cancel, pull
the stalk towards you.
To briefly flash the high beam headlights, pull the stalk
towards you.
The high beam headlights can automatically switch to
low beam when there is light detected in front of
Model X (for example, from an oncoming vehicle). To
turn this feature on or o, touch Controls > Quick
Controls > AUTO HIGH BEAM or Controls > Lights >
AUTO HIGH BEAM.
NOTE: Your chosen setting is retained until you
manually change it.
In situations where high beams are turned o because
AUTO HIGH BEAM is turned on and light is detected in
front of Model X, you can temporarily turn on high
beams by pulling the stalk all the way toward you.
The following indicator lights are visible on the
instrument panel to show the status of the headlights:
Low beam headlights are on.
High beam headlights are on.
Illuminates
when high beams are on but the AUTO
HIGH BEAM setting is turned o or if the
AUTO HIGH BEAM setting is turned on
but is temporarily unavailable.
High beams are currently turned on, and
AUTO HIGH BEAM is ready to turn o the
high beams if light is detected in front of
Model X.
High beams are temporarily turned
o
because AUTO HIGH BEAM is operating
and light is detected in front of Model X.
When light is no longer detected, high
beam headlights automatically turn back
on.
WARNING:
AUTO HIGH BEAM is a convenience
only and is subject to limitations. It is the driver's
responsibility to make sure that headlights are
always appropriately adjusted for weather
conditions and driving circumstances.
Headlights After Exit
When you stop driving and park Model X in low lighting
conditions, exterior lights temporarily remain
illuminated. They automatically turn o after one
minute or when you lock
Model X whichever comes
first.
To turn this feature on and o, touch Controls > Lights
> Headlights After Exit. When Headlights After Exit is
o, the headlights turn o immediately when you
engage the Park gear and open a door.
Adaptive Front Lighting System
(AFS)
If equipped, the Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
automatically adjusts the beam of the headlights to
improve your driving view. Electric sensors measure
driving speed, steering angle and yaw (the rotation of
the car around the vertical axis) to determine the
optimum position of the headlights based on current
driving conditions. For example, to improve visibility
while driving on winding roads at night, the AFS casts
the beam in the direction of the curve. When low beam
headlights are turned on and when driving at lower
speeds, AFS improves lateral illumination to increase
the visibility of pedestrians and curbs, and to improve
visibility when turning at a dark intersection, into a
driveway, or when making a u-turn.
The Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) operates
whenever headlights are on. If Model X isn't moving, or
is moving in reverse, the adaptive headlights do not
activate. This prevents the headlights from
inadvertently blinding other drivers.
If the AFS fails, the instrument panel
displays an alert. Contact Tesla Service.
