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 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.

OFF: Exterior lights turn off until you manually turn them back on or until the next time you drive. If daytime running lights are required in your region, the exterior lights used for this purpose are always on when Drive gear is engaged. PARKING: Only the side marker lights, parking lights, tail lights and license plate lights turn on. Note: If daytime running lights are required in your region, the exterior lights used for this purpose are always on whenever a driving gear (Drive or Reverse) is engaged. ON: Exterior lights turn on.
Warning: Always ensure that your headlights are on during low visibility conditions. Failure to do so may result in a collision. If equipped, touch to turn the fog lights on or off. Fog lights operate only when low beam headlights are on. When headlights are turned off, fog lights also turn off. The front fog indicator displays on the instrument panel whenever the optional front fog lights are on. Note: Depending on the market region and vehicle options, your vehicle may not be equipped with front and/or rear fog lights.

Note: In some regions, there is no control for the front fog lights. They operate in conjunction with the headlights and turn on only in situations where low beam headlights are on. Turn the interior dome (map) lights on or off. If set to AUTO, all interior dome lights turn on when you unlock Model S, open a door upon exiting, or shift into Park. Note: You can also manually turn an individual dome light on or off by pressing its lens. If you manually 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.
