Lights - Tesla MODEL X 2021 Owner's Manual

Controlling Lights
Touch Controls > Lights to control the lights.
NOTE: You can also access an abbreviated
lights menu while driving by touching the
Auto High Beam button on the steering yoke.
A lights menu displays on the touchscreen,
providing quick access to headlight controls.
In addition to the lights that you can control
from the touchscreen, Model X has
convenience lights that turn on and off
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 off
automatically after a minute or two or when
you shift or lock Model X. Use these settings
to control exterior and interior lights:
Exterior Lights
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
different 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 off 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 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 Drive or Reverse is engaged.
• ON: Exterior lights turn on.
Driving
CAUTION: Ensure 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 off while
daytime running lights are on. Failure
to do so can cause damage or serious
injury.
NOTE: To comply with local traffic regulations
when crossing from a left-hand traffic region
to a right-hand traffic 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.
Fog Lights
If equipped, touch to turn the fog lights on or
off. Fog lights operate only when low beam
headlights are on. When headlights are
turned off, fog lights also turn off.
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.
Interior Lights
Turn the interior dome (map) lights on or off.
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 off by pressing its
lens. If you turn a dome light on, it turns off
when Model X powers off. If Model X was
already powered off when you manually
turned the light on, it turns off after 60
minutes.
Ambient Lights
When enabled, interior ambient lights turn on
whenever the headlights are on.
