Summary

TeslaeBay logo does not provide physical owner's manual copies. Instead, all available owner’s manual content is integrated into the vehicle software, and only the content relevant for a given vehicle, based on vehicle configuration and software version installed, is displayed on its touchscreen. This file contains all available owner’s manual content for the vehicle converted to PDF format, and given the distribution method and NHTSA’s submission format requirements, it is the best available representative copy of owner’s manual content. However, a customer who accesses the owner’s manual via their vehicle’s touchscreen would only see the parts of this PDF file that are relevant to their vehicle.


The high beam headlights can automatically switch to low beam when there is light detected in front of
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y (for example, from an oncoming vehicle). To turn this feature on or off, touch
Controls > Auto High Beam or Controls > Lights > Auto High Beam.
NOTE: Your chosen setting is retained until you manually change it.
NOTE: Auto High Beam is automatically enabled when Autosteer is engaged.
In situations where high beams are turned off because Auto High Beam is turned on and light is detected in front of
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y, you can temporarily turn on high beams by pulling the stalk all the way toward
you.
The following indicator lights are visible on the instrument panel to show the status of the headlights:

Low beam headlights are on.

High beam headlights are on. Illuminates when high beams are on but the Auto High Beam setting is turned off
or if the Auto High Beam setting is turned on but is temporarily unavailable.

High beams are currently turned on, and Auto High Beam is ready to turn off the high beams if light is detected
in front of CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y.

High beams are temporarily turned off because Auto High Beam is operating and light is detected in front of
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y. When light is no longer detected, high beam headlights
automatically turn back on.

WARNING: Auto High Beam is a convenience only and is subject to limitations. It is the driver's responsibility to make
sure that headlights are always appropriately adjusted for weather conditions and driving circumstances.
Rear Reading Lights
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is equipped with a reading light on each side of the rear seats, located above the
door and next to the coat hangers (see Coat Hangers on page 194). To turn a reading light on or off, press its lens. If you leave
a reading light turned on, it automatically turns off when CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y powers off.
Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
If equipped, the Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) automatically adjusts the beam of the headlights to improve your
driving view. Electric sensors measure driving speed, steering angle and yaw (the rotation of the car around the vertical axis)
to determine the optimum position of the headlights based on current driving conditions. For example, to improve visibility
while driving on winding roads at night, the AFS casts the beam in the direction of the curve. When low beam headlights are
turned on and when driving at lower speeds, AFS improves lateral illumination to increase the visibility of pedestrians and
curbs, and to improve visibility when turning at a dark intersection, into a driveway, or when making a u-turn.
The Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) operates whenever headlights are on. If CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model
Y isn't moving, or is moving in reverse, the adaptive headlights do not activate. This prevents the headlights from inadvertently
blinding other drivers.
If the AFS fails, the instrument panel displays an alert. Contact TeslaeBay logo Service.

WARNING: Proceed with caution when adjusting headlights. TeslaeBay logo 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
Move the turn signal stalk up (before turning right) or down (before turning left). The turn signals flash three times or
continuously, depending on how far up or down you move the stalk. Lightly push the 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 wheelsteering yoke (or steering wheel), or when you return the
stalk to the central position.

Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
If equipped, the Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) automatically adjusts the beam of the headlights to improve your
driving view. Electric sensors measure driving speed, steering angle and yaw (the rotation of the car around the vertical axis)
to determine the optimum position of the headlights based on current driving conditions. For example, to improve visibility
while driving on winding roads at night, the AFS casts the beam in the direction of the curve. When low beam headlights are
turned on and when driving at lower speeds, AFS improves lateral illumination to increase the visibility of pedestrians and
curbs, and to improve visibility when turning at a dark intersection, into a driveway, or when making a u-turn.
The Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) operates whenever headlights are on. If CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model
Y isn't moving, or is moving in reverse, the adaptive headlights do not activate. This prevents the headlights from inadvertently
