Tesla Model S: Lamps - Fog - Front - Adjust
- Position the vehicle for adjusting the fog lamps:
- In a darkened area.
- On a level surface.
- Perpendicular to a wall that has a matte white
surface. The wall must be at least 3.7 m (12 ft) wide
and 1.87 m (6 ft) high.
- The fog lamps are 10 m (32.8 ft) away from the wall.
- Ensure that all 4 tires are inflated to their recomended settings. Refer
to General Information > Technical Data > Tire pressures.
- If the vehicle is equipped with air suspension, set the suspension
height to "High", then to "Standard".
- Ensure that the vehicle is level by rocking it from side to side.
Note: The remainder of this procedure must be performed with
someone in the driver seat who weighs at least 75 kg (166 lbs).
- Record the height between the ground and the center of the projector
lenses on the LH and RH fog lamps.
- Measure a straight line between each of the projector lenses and the
wall. At the point where each line meets the wall, mark a horizontal line
100 mm (for ECE lamps) or 130 mm (for SAE lamps) lower than what was
recorded in the previous step. For example, if the height of the projector
lenses on a vehicle with SAE lamps is 283 mm, mark a horizontal line 153 mm
from the ground.
