the Adaptive Headlights setting is turned on
but is temporarily unavailable.
High beams are currently turned on, and
Adaptive Headlights is ready to turn off the
high beams if light is detected in front of
Model Y.
High beams are temporarily turned off
because Adaptive Headlights is operating and
light is detected in front of Model Y. When
light is no longer detected, high beam
headlights automatically turn back on.
Adaptive Headlights
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle configuration,
options purchased, and software version, your vehicle may
not be equipped with Adaptive Headlights, or the feature
may not operate exactly as described.
When
Adaptive Headlights is enabled, the beam of the
headlights adjusts automatically to improve your driving view.
For example, when traffic is approaching Model Y and the
high beam headlights are on, individual pixels of the high
beam headlights dim to reduce glare.
Likewise, when the low beam headlights are on and you are
driving on a highway, the headlights adjust to illuminate more
of the road.
The headlights also adjust to curves on the road ahead to
provide greater visibility at night.
To control this feature, touch Controls > Lights > Adaptive
Headlights, or by using the lights popup that displays on the
touchscreen when you press the high beam headlight button
on the left side of the steering wheel.
WARNING: Adaptive Headlights is a convenience
feature 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.
Headlight Adjustments
To adjust the angle of the headlights, touch Controls >
Service > Adjust Headlights, then follow the onscreen
instructions. You can choose which headlight you would like
to adjust by selecting it on the touchscreen.
NOTE: Headlights do not require adjustments when
temporarily driving into a region where the traffic direction is
different (for example, driving in right-hand traffic region,
and then driving into a region with left-hand traffic).
WARNING: Proceed with caution when adjusting
headlights. Tesla has carefully calibrated the position
of the headlights to be in an optimum position for most
driving scenarios. Tesla recommends that you do not
adjust headlights unless you are familiar with how
headlights should be adjusted. Once adjusted, you will
be unable to automatically restore them to their
originally calibrated position. Contact Tesla for
assistance when adjusting headlights.
