Rear Reading Lights
Model X is equipped with a reading light on
each side of the rear seats, located above the
door and next to the coat hangers (see
). To turn a reading light
on or off, press its lens. If you leave a reading
light turned on, it automatically turns off
when Model X powers off.
Headlights After Exit
When you stop driving and park Model X in
low lighting conditions, exterior lights
temporarily remain illuminated. They
automatically turn off after one minute or
when you lock Model X whichever comes first.
To turn this feature on and off, touch

is off, the headlights
turn off immediately when you engage Park
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.
Turn Signals
To engage a turn signal, press the
corresponding arrow button on the left side
of the steering yoke. A turn signal cancels
based on the angle of the steering yoke (for
example, you finish making a turn). You can
also cancel a turn signal by pressing the turn
signal button a second time.
If
Controls
>
Pedals & Steering
>
Automatic
Turn Signals
is set to
Auto Cancel
, turn
signals cancel automatically when Model X
detects completion of a maneuver such as a
merge, lane change, or a fork in the roadway.
You can override automatic cancellation at
any time (for example, you want the turn
signal to remain on because you are making
more than one lane change). To override,
engage the turn signal by pressing and
momentarily holding the turn signal button
(instead of just pressing). Then, when the first
maneuver is complete, the turn signal remains
on. If
Automatic Turn Signals
is set to
Off
, you
must cancel the turn signal manually by
pressing the turn signal button after
maneuvers such as a merge, lane change, or
fork in the roadway.
