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 S isn't moving, or is moving in reverse,
the adaptive headlights do not activate. This
prevents the lights from inadvertently
blinding other drivers.
If the AFS fails, the
instrument panel displays
an alert. Contact Tesla
Service.
Turn Signals
Move the left-hand steering column lever up
(before turning right) or down (before turning
left). The turn signals flash three times or
continuously, depending on how far up or
down you move the lever. Lightly push the
turn signal lever up or down for a three-flash
sequence. For a continuous signal, push the
lever fully up or down.
The turn signals stop operating when
canceled by the steering wheel, or when you
return the lever to the central position.
The corresponding turn
signal indicator lights up
on the instrument panel
when a turn signal is
operating. You also hear a
clicking sound.
WARNING:
If you have purchased an
optional Autopilot package, and
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is active,
engaging a turn signal can cause
Model S to accelerate when using
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control in
specific situations (see
).
WARNING:
If you have purchased an
optional Autopilot package and
Autosteer is active, engaging a turn
signal may cause Model S to change
lanes.
Hazard Warning Flashers
To turn on the hazard warning flashers, press
the button located on the side of the
touchscreen closest to the steering wheel. All
turn signals flash. Press again to turn off.
NOTE:
Hazard warning flashers operate even
without a key nearby.
