control the lights.
In addition to the lights that you can control
from the touchscreen, Model S 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 S, 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 S.
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 S. 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.

change the exterior light setting:
