Reading Lights
There are two reading lights in the second row seating
area, both above the door and next to the coat hangers (see
Coat Hangers on page 22). Turn an individual
reading light on or
off by pressing its lens. The reading
light will automatically turn
off when Model Y powers

High Beam Headlights
Push the turn signal stalk away from you and release to turn the high beam headlights on continuously. To cancel, push the stalk away from you again.
To briefly flash the high beam headlights, pull the stalk
towards you and release.
The high beam headlights can automatically switch to low beam when there is light detected in front of
Model
Y (for example, from an oncoming vehicle). To turn this
feature on or
off, go to Quick Controls or touch Controls
> Lights > Auto High Beam.
NOTE: Your chosen setting is retained until you manually
change it.
In situations where Auto High Beam is turned on but the
high beams are turned
off because light is detected in
front of
Model Y, you can temporarily turn on the high
beams by pulling the turn signal stalk toward you.
NOTE: For vehicles manufactured after approximately
April 27, 2021,
Auto High Beam is automatically enabled
when Autosteer is engaged.
The following indicator lights are visible on the touchscreen to show the status of the headlights:
Low beam headlights are on.High beam headlights are on and Auto
High Beam is disabled or currently
unavailable.Auto High Beam is enabled and high
beams are on.
Model Y is ready to turn off

the high beams if light is detected.
Auto High Beam is enabled but high beams
are not on because light is detected in front of
Model Y. When light is no longer
detected, high beams automatically turn
back on.
WARNING: Auto High Beam is an aid only and is
subject to limitations. It is the driver

NOTE: Headlights do not require adjustments when
temporarily driving into a region where the
traffic
direction is different (for example, driving in right-hand
traffic region, and then driving into a region with left-
hand
traffic).
WARNING: Proceed with caution when adjusting
headlights. Tesla has carefully calibrated the
position of the headlights to be in an optimum
position for most driving scenarios. Tesla
recommends that you do not adjust headlights
unless you are familiar with how headlights should
be adjusted. Once adjusted, you will be unable to
automatically restore them to their originally
calibrated position. Contact Tesla for assistance
when adjusting headlights.
Turn Signals
The turn signals flash three times or continuously,
depending on how far up or down you move the stalk.
Lightly push the turn signal stalk up or down for a
three-
flash sequence. For a continuous signal, push the stalk
fully up or down.
The turn signals stop operating when canceled by the steering wheel, by moving the stalk in the opposite direction, or lightly pushing the stalk in the same
direction once more.
The corresponding turn signal indicator
lights up on the touchscreen when a turn
signal is operating.
Model Y also emits a
clicking sound.

WARNING: If parking on a grade is necessary,
always ensure that all trailer wheels have been
securely chocked. Failure to do so can result in
serious damage or injury.
Trailer Sway Mitigation
When trailer sway is detected, the electronic stability control system attempts to apply the appropriate amount of braking to minimize trailer sway. The touchscreen
briefly displays the traction control system
indicator. Pressing the brake pedal when the system is actively braking to mitigate trailer sway does not cancel this automatic braking.
Attaching and Removing the Ball
Mount
The Model Y towing package does not include a ball
mount. You must purchase a ball mount suitable for the type of trailer you are towing. The
Model Y hitch receiver
supports a ball mount with a length of up to
8.5” (22
cm) and a rise of up to 0.75” (2 cm). Do not use any
type of drop ball mount that does not meet these requirements.
To attach a ball mount:
1. Remove the dust cover from the hitch housing by
using a small object, such as a
flat screwdriver, to pry
between the dust cover and hitch housing. Store the dust cover in a secure location.
2.
If necessary, remove the cotter pin from the locking
bolt and slide the locking bolt out of the hitch assembly.
3.
Slide the ball holder into the hitch assembly.
4.
Align the hole in the ball holder with the one in the hitch assembly.
5.
Slide the locking bolt through the hitch assembly/ball holder.
6.
Insert the cotter pin in the hole at the end of the
locking bolt.
To remove a ball mount:
1.
Remove the cotter pin from the locking bolt and slide
the locking bolt out of the ball holder/hitch assembly.
2.
Pull the ball holder out of the hitch assembly.
3.
Re-install the dust cover for the hitch housing and store the ball mount in a secure location.

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Autosteer, or the
feature may not operate exactly as described.
NOTE: Autosteer is a BETA feature.
Autosteer builds upon Traffic-Aware Cruise Control (see
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control on page 86), intelligently
keeping
Model Y in its driving lane when cruising at a set
speed.
Autosteer also allows you to use the turn signals
to move Model Y into an adjacent lane (see Auto Lane
Change on page 93). Autosteer detects lane markings
and the presence of vehicles and objects to
steer Model
Y.
NOTE: To display more details about the roadway and its
surroundings, such as road markings, stop lights, objects (such as trash cans and poles), etc., touch
Controls >
Autopilot > Full Self-Driving Visualization Preview (if
equipped).
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and sensors are
clean. Dirty cameras and sensors, as well as
environmental conditions such as rain and faded
lane markings, affect performance.
WARNING: Autosteer is a hands-on feature. You
must keep your hands on the steering wheel at all
times.
WARNING: Autosteer is intended for use on
highways and limited-access roads with a fully
attentive driver. When using Autosteer, hold the
steering wheel and be mindful of road conditions
and surrounding traffic. Do not use Autosteer on
city streets, in construction zones, or in areas
where bicyclists or pedestrians may be present.
Never depend on Autosteer to determine an
appropriate driving path. Always be prepared to
take immediate action. Failure to follow these
instructions could cause damage, serious injury or
death.
Operating Autosteer
Before you can operate Autosteer, you must enable it by touching
Controls > Autopilot > Autosteer (Beta).
To indicate that Autosteer is available (but
not actively steering
Model Y), the
touchscreen displays a gray Autosteer
icon .
To initiate Autosteer, move the drive stalk fully down
twice in quick succession.
Autosteer briefly displays a message on the touchscreen
reminding you to pay attention to the road and be ready
to take over at any time. To indicate that Autosteer is
now actively steering
Model Y, the touchscreen displays
the Autosteer icon in blue. When Autosteer is able to detect lane markings, it also displays the driving lane in blue.
To initiate Autosteer when no vehicle is detected ahead
of you, you must be driving at least
18 mph (30 km/h),
unless certain vehicle and environmental conditions are met, in which case, you may be able to initiate it at lower speeds. If a vehicle is detected ahead of you, you can

Whenever Navigate on Autopilot is active, the
touchscreen displays the driving lane as a single blue
line in front of
Model Y:
When Navigate on Autopilot is active and you approach an
off-ramp or freeway interchange along your
navigation route, the appropriate turn signal engages and Autosteer maneuvers
Model Y onto the off-ramp or
interchange.
WARNING: Never depend on Navigate on
Autopilot to determine an appropriate lane at an
off-ramp. Stay alert and perform visual checks to
ensure that the driving lane is safe and
appropriate.
When you leave a controlled-access road (for example, you exit a freeway or you enter a section of the navigation route that is no longer supported), Navigate on Autopilot reverts back to Autosteer
