Touchscreen Overview
The main components of the touchscreen are shown here. The touchscreen is used to control
many features that, in traditional cars, are controlled using physical buttons (for example,
adjusting the heating and air conditioning, headlights, etc.). You can also use the touchscreen to
customize Model X to suit your preferences.
Warning: Always pay attention to road and traffic conditions when driving. To minimize driver
distraction and ensure the safety of vehicle occupants as well as other road users, avoid using
the touchscreen to adjust settings while the vehicle is in motion.
Note: The image below is provided for demonstration purposes only. Depending on vehicle
options, software version and market region, your touchscreen may appear slightly different.

Sun Visors
The sun visors in Model X are held in place by
magnets. To protect occupants from sunlight
coming through the windshield, release the sun visor from the pillar and pivot it toward
the rear view mirror until the magnet snaps into place. While held in place by the magnet,
you can adjust the sun visor and lower the extender to provide maximum shade.
To expose the vanity mirror, lower the visorextender then lower the mirror cover. While
the cover is lowered, the mirror is exposed and
lights are illuminated.
To protect front seat occupants from sunlight
coming through the side window, lower the
sun visor from the pillar then lower the visor
extender.

behind you.

Lights
Controlling Lights Touch Controls > Lights on the touchscreen to
control the lights.
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, you will notice interior lights,marker lights, tail lights, door handle lights,
and puddle lights that 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 into a driving gear or lock Model X.
Note: The image below is provided for
demonstration purposes only. Depending on vehicle options, software version and market
region, your touchscreen may appear slightly
different.
1. 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 temporarily
change the exterior light setting:
4.If you turn on AMBIENT LIGHTS, interior
ambient lights turn on whenever the
headlights are on.
5. If you turn on Auto High Beam, your
vehicle automatically switches from high
beam headlights to low beam headlights
when there is light detected in front of
Model X. See High Beam Headlights on
page 63.
6. If you turn on Headlights after Exit, the
exterior lights remain on for a short period
of time after you stop driving and park Model X in low lighting conditions. See Headlights After Exit on page 63.
