Note: Model S has a series of lights along the lower rim of the headlights, also referred to as
"signature" lights. These lights automatically turn on whenever Model S is powered on and a
driving gear is engaged. In the U.S. only, these lights turn o to conserve energy when you
turn the Range mode setting on (see Controls on page 104 or Driving Tips to Maximize
