Summary
Tesla
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.

Condensation in Head or Tail Lights
Due to weather changes, humidity levels, or recent exposure to water (such as a car wash), condensation may occasionally
accumulate in your vehicle’s head or tail lights. This is normal— as the weather gets warmer and humidity decreases,
condensation often disappears on its own. If you notice water buildup within the exterior lenses, or if the condensation affects
the visibility of the exterior lights, contact Tesla Service.

Controlling Lights
Touch Controls > Lights on the touchscreen to access all light controls, both interior and exterior.
You can also pull the turn signal stalk toward you to display a popup that provides quick access to exterior lights. For example,
you can turn the headlights on or off continuously (overriding the default Auto High Beam setting). The lights popup allows
you to adjust all exterior light settings, including parking lights, fog lights (if equipped), etc. The setting you choose is retained
for the current drive only.
NOTE: If the touchscreen is already displaying the full Controls screen for lights, pulling the turn signal stalk does not display
the quick access popup.
In addition to the lights you can control from the touchscreen, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y has convenience
lights that operate automatically based on what you are doing. For example, in low ambient lighting conditions, the interior
lights, marker lights, tail lights, and puddle lights turn on when you unlock CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y, when
you open a door, and when you shift into Park. They turn off after a minute or two, when you shift or lock
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y. Use these settings to control your vehicle's interior and exterior lights:
Headlights
Exterior lights (headlights, tail lights, side marker lights, parking lights, and license plate lights) are set to Auto each time you
start CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y. When set to Auto, exterior lights automatically turn on when driving in low
lighting conditions, or whenever the wipers are active. If you change to a different setting, lights always revert to Auto on your
next drive.
Touch one of these options to change and retain the exterior light setting until adjusted again or the next time you drive:
• Off: Exterior lights turn off. When driving, daytime running lights may remain on based on regulations in various market
regions.
• Parking: Parking lights, side marker lights, tail lights and license plate lights turn on.
• On: Low beam headlights, side marker lights, parking lights, tail lights, and license plate lights turn on.
NOTE: CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y has a series of LED lights along the rim of the headlights, also referred to
as "signature" lights. These lights automatically turn on whenever CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is powered on
and a drive mode (Drive or Reverse) is engaged.
CAUTION: The rear tail lights are off when daytime running lights are on. Be sure the rear lights are on during low rear
visibility conditions (for example, when it is dark, foggy, snowy, or the road is wet, etc.). Failure to do so can cause
damage or serious injury.
WARNING: Always ensure that headlights are on during low visibility conditions. Failure to do so may result in a collision.
Fog Lights
A separate control is available to turn on fog lights (if equipped). When on, fog lights operate whenever low beam headlights
are on. When headlights are turned off, fog lights also turn off.
Dome Lights
Turn the interior dome (map) lights on or off. If set to AUTO, the interior dome lights turn on when you unlock
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y, open a door upon exiting, or shift into Park.
