Interior Locking and Unlocking
While sitting inside Model S, you can lock and

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 S 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 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.

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.
Touch one of these options to change the
exterior light setting:


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 S powers off.
If Model S was already powered off when
you manually turned the light on, it turns
off after 60 minutes.

If you turn on AMBIENT LIGHTS, interior
ambient lights turn on whenever the
headlights are on.
5.
If you turn on Auto High Beam, headlights
automatically switch from high beam
headlights to low beam headlights when light is detected in front of
Model S. See High Beam Headlights on page 57.

exterior lights remain on for one minute after you stop driving and park
Model S in
low lighting conditions. See Headlights After Exit on page 58.

headlights, also referred to as "signature" lights. These lights automatically turn on
whenever Model S is powered on and a
driving gear is engaged.

button on the left side of the steering yoke to
continuously turn on high beam headlights.

display more details about the roadway and its surroundings, such as road markings, stop lights,
objects (such as trash cans and poles), etc.
