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.

marker lights, parking lights, and license plate lights) are set to
AUTO each time
you start Model S. When set to AUTO,
exterior lights automatically turn on when driving in low lighting conditions. If you change to a
different setting, lights
always revert to AUTO on your next drive.

Instrument Panel - Driving
When Model S is driving (or ready to drive), the instrument panel shows your current driving
status and a real-time visualization of the road as detected by the Autopilot components (see
About Autopilot on page 84). The visualization automatically zooms in and out based on the
detected road type.
NOTE: Touch Controls > Autopilot > Full Self-Driving Visualization Preview (if equipped) to
display more details about the roadway and its surroundings, such as road markings, stop lights,
objects (such as trash cans and poles), etc.

The instrument panel displays your location on a map, a wiper menu, Auto Shift out of Park instructions, etc. When a navigation route is active, the upcoming portion of the route
displays.

10.
The energy bar (a thin horizontal line at the bottom center of the instrument panel) displays
real-time energy usage. The bar is colored gray (or white if the display is in Dark mode) and moves to the right to represent energy being used during acceleration. The bar is green and
moves to the left to represent energy being gained through regenerative braking.
11.
When Autosteer is active and detects the driving lane, it is highlighted in blue (see Autosteer on page 93). Depending on the current driving scenario, you may see
neighboring lanes.
NOTE: In situations where Autosteer is unable to detect lane markings, the driving lane is
determined based on the vehicle you are following.
NOTE: If Navigate on Autopilot is active, the driving lane displays as a single blue line in
front of Model S (see Navigate on Autopilot on page 98).
