Auto High Beam (if equipped)
The high beam headlights can automatically switch to
low beam when there is light detected in front of
Model X (for example, from an oncoming vehicle). To
turn this feature on or o, touch Controls > Lights >
Auto High Beam. Your chosen setting is retained until
you manually change it.
NOTE: When you touch or press the high beam
headlight button on the left side of the steering yoke (or
steering wheel), the touchscreen displays an abbreviated
lights menu to provide quick access to control
headlights, fog lights (if equipped), and the
Auto High
Beam setting. Use the touchscreen to choose options
from this menu.
NOTE: Auto High Beam is automatically enabled when
Autosteer is engaged. To switch to low beam headlights,
press the high beam headlight button on the
steering
yoke (or steering wheel). Auto High Beam is re-enabled
every time Autosteer is activated.
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 o 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 o the
high beams if light is detected in front of
Model X.
High beams are temporarily turned
o
because Auto High Beam is operating and
light is detected in front of Model X. 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
Model X 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 32). To turn a
reading light on or o, press its lens. If you leave a
reading light turned on, it automatically turns o when
Model X powers o.
Headlights After Exit
When you stop driving and park Model X in low lighting
conditions, exterior lights temporarily remain
illuminated. They automatically turn o after one minute
or when you lock Model X whichever comes first.
To turn this feature on and o, touch Controls > Lights >
Headlights After Exit. When Headlights After Exit is o,
the headlights turn o immediately when you engage
Park and open a door.
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 Model X isn't moving, or is
moving in reverse, the adaptive headlights do not
activate. This prevents the headlights from inadvertently
blinding other drivers.
