Real-time Visualization
The image of your CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y on the Suspension screen provides a real-time visualization of
the status of the air suspension system. In addition to visually showing changes to the ride height, it displays Compression and
Rebound lines that reflect how the suspension system is controlling the dampers for each wheel based on your chosen
settings and changing road conditions. Both are controlled simultaneously. Touch Show Suspension Data to display detailed
information about the dampers for each wheel, including ride height, compression and rebound values, and body
accelerations.
NOTE: The instrument panel can also display a real-time visualization of how the suspension system is dynamically adjusting
each wheel’s damping to account for changing road conditions. To view, hold the respective steering wheelsteering yoke (or
steering wheel) scroll button briefly until the available options are displayed. Roll the scroll button to highlight Suspension,
then tap the scroll button.
Auto-Raising Locations
Whenever you raise the suspension to High or Very High, the location is automatically saved. By saving the location, you do not
need to manually raise the suspension every time you arrive at a frequently-used location where you have previously raised the
suspension. When you return to the saved location, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y raises the suspension and
the instrument panel displays a message indicating that the suspension is being raised.
When saving locations, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y also saves the Persist until XX mph setting (if specified).
NOTE: When returning to a saved location and driving faster than the High and Very High suspension settings allow, the
suspension does not raise until CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y slows down.
NOTE: After leaving a saved location, the suspension automatically lowers. However, it may not lower until
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y meets the speed and distance threshold at which the suspension lowers.
NOTE: If CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y reaches a saved location and the existing suspension setting is already
higher than the level that has been saved for that location, the ride height is not adjusted.
To remove an auto-raising location
If you do not want the suspension to automatically raise at a location, touch to deselect Always raise at this location in the
popup that appears when you arrive at a saved location. Or, when using the Raise Suspension shortcut on the main Controls
window, touch to deselect Location Saved.

Air Suspension
NOTE: When CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y starts, you may hear the sound of the compressor as the air
suspension system’s reservoir fills with air.
Air suspension offers a superior ride quality and when carrying loads, the system maintains a level height between the front
and rear. You can manually adjust the ride height to suit your circumstances (for example, you can raise
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y when driving at low speeds when you need extra ground clearance, such as when
driving on a steep driveway or ramp, in deep snow, over large speed bumps, parking curbs, etc.).
If a fault is detected that reduces the performance of the air suspension system, a yellow indicator lights up on
the instrument panel. If the problem persists, contact Tesla.
If a fault is detected that disables the air suspension system, a red indicator lights up on the instrument panel.
Contact Tesla.
Adjusting Ride Height
CAUTION: Before adjusting the suspension height, ensure CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is clear of all
obstacles, above and below.
You can manually adjust the ride height by pressing the brake pedal touching Controls > Suspension on the touchscreen. The
ride height settings that are available depend on your driving speed and other conditions (for example, the suspension does
not lower if a door is open). The touchscreen also displays the approximate ground clearance for each setting. Drag the slider
to choose from these options:
• Very High. When set to Very High, the suspension automatically lowers to High after driving approximately 100 feet (30
meters) or when driving speed reaches 15 mph (24 km/h). To maintain the Very High setting for an unlimited distance until
your driving speed reaches the speed threshold, touch Keep until 15 mph.
• High. When set to High, the suspension automatically lowers to Standard after driving approximately 100 feet (30 meters)
or when driving speed reaches 35 mph (56 km/h). To maintain the High setting for an unlimited distance until your driving
speed reaches the speed threshold, touch Keep until 35 mph.
• Standard. The Standard setting ensures optimum comfort and handling under all loading conditions.
• Low. Lowering the height can improve aerodynamics and make it easier to load or unload cargo and passengers.
• Very Low. This setting takes effect only when you manually choose it. The suspension reverts to the default setting on your
next drive.
CAUTION: Avoid driving aggressively (hard accelerations, sharp turns, etc.) when the suspension is set to High or Very
High. Doing so can cause vibration and increase the possibility of damage.
CAUTION: Acceleration may be reduced when the suspension is set to High or Very High.
Automatic Lowering
When driving CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y above typical driveway or parking lot speeds, the suspension
automatically lowers ride height to improve aerodynamics and handling. For most average speed driving, the suspension is
automatically set to Standard. As described above, when you make manual height adjustments, the suspension automatically
lowers at increased driving speeds.
You can adjust the speed at which the suspension automatically transitions to the Low ride height by touching Controls >
Suspension > Adjust Speed on the touchscreen, then moving the slider to the desired speed. You can also choose Always to
maintain the lowered suspension at all speeds or Never to disable the suspension from automatically transitioning to Low.
NOTE: You can temporarily override the ride height by touching Controls > Suspension, and then manually choosing a ride
height. Your suspension's automatic lowering setting is restored the next time you drive.

CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is designed to detect the presence of objects. When driving slowly (for example,
when parking), the vehicle alerts you if an object is detected in close proximity of your CybertruckModel SModel XModel
3Model Y. The vehicle alerts you when objects are detected in front of CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y when you
are in Drive, and behind CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y when you are in Reverse.
WARNING: You may not be alerted if CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y rolls freely in the opposite direction
(for example, Park Assist does not display an alert if CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y rolls backwards down
a hill while in Drive).
NOTE: Depending on date of manufacture and options selected at time of purchase, some Model S vehicles are not equipped
with the parking sensors.
WARNING: The Park Assist images provided below are representative only. The exact number and location of sensors
may vary depending on the date your CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y was manufactured.

NOTE: Park Assist may be disabled when a bicycle is detected or CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is in trailer
mode.
WARNING: Never depend on Park Assist to inform you if an area you are approaching is free of objects and/or people.
Several external factors can reduce the performance of Park Assist, causing either no readings or false readings (see
Limitations and False Warnings on page 489). Therefore, depending on Park Assist to determine if
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is approaching an obstruction can result in damage to the vehicle and/or
objects, and can potentially cause serious injury. Always inspect the area with your own eyes. When reversing, perform
shoulder checks and use all mirrors. Park assist does not detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists, animals, or objects
that are moving, protruding, located too far above or below the sensors (if equipped) or cameras, or too close or too far
from the sensors or cameras. Park Assist is for guidance purposes only and is not intended to replace your own direct
visual checks. It is not a substitute for careful driving.
Visual and Audio Feedback
When you shift to Reverse, the Park Assist view displays on the left side of the instrument paneltouchscreen, showing objects
that are in close proximity to the front and rear of CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y. This view closes when you
shift into Drive unless an object is detected close to the front of CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y, in which case
the Park Assist view closes automatically when you start driving faster than the speed at which Park Assist operates. When
reversing, visual feedback also displays on the touchscreen (see Rear Facing Camera(s) on page 518). You can manually close
the park assist view on the touchscreen by touching the X.
When driving at low speeds with the Camera app displayed on the touchscreen, you can switch to the Park Assist view by
touching the button located in the upper left corner of the Camera app screen. This is useful if you need assistance with
parallel parking.
If chimes are turned on (see Controlling Audible Feedback on page 489), an audible beep sounds as you approach an object.
You can temporarily mute the chime by touching the speaker icon on the bottom corner of the Park Assist view.
NOTE: If Park Assist is unable to provide feedback, the instrument paneltouchscreen displays an alert message.
CAUTION: Keep sensors (if equipped) and cameras clean from dirt, debris, snow, and ice. Avoid using a high pressure
power washer on the sensors and cameras, and do not clean a sensor or camera with a sharp or abrasive object that can
scratch or damage its surface.
CAUTION: Do not install accessories or stickers on or near the sensors (if equipped) or cameras.
Controlling Audible Feedback
You can use Park Assist with or without audible feedback. To turn chimes on or off, touch Controls > Safety > Park Assist
Chimes.
To mute the chimes temporarily, touch the speaker icon in the bottom corner of the Park Assist view. The chimes are muted
until you shift or drive over the speed at which Park Assist operates.
Limitations and False Warnings
Park Assist may not function correctly in these situations:
• One or more of the sensors (if equipped) or cameras is damaged, dirty, or obstructed (such as by mud, ice, or snow, or by a
vehicle bra, excessive paint, or adhesive products such as wraps, stickers, rubber coating, etc.).

Traction Control
How It Works
The traction control system constantly monitors the speed of the front and rear wheels. If CybertruckModel SModel XModel
3Model Y experiences a loss of traction, the system minimizes wheel spin by controlling brake pressure and motor power. By
default, the traction control system is on. Under normal conditions, it should remain on to ensure maximum safety.
This yellow indicator flashes on the instrument paneltouchscreen whenever the traction control system is
actively controlling brake pressure and motor power to minimize wheel spin. If the indicator stays on, a fault is
detected with the traction control system. Contact Tesla Service.
WARNING: If the above indicator remains illuminated in situations in which you have not disabled the traction control
system (described next), the traction control system may not be operating correctly. Contact Tesla Service immediately.
WARNING: Traction control cannot prevent collisions caused by driving dangerously or turning too sharply at high
speeds.
Disabling Traction Control
Under normal conditions, the traction control system should remain enabled. Disable it only in circumstances where you
deliberately want the wheels to spin, such as:
• Starting on a loose surface, such as gravel or snow.
• Driving in deep snow, sand or mud.
• Rocking out of a hole or deep rut.
To allow the wheels to spin, touch Controls > Pedals & Steering > Dynamics > Slip Start.
The instrument paneltouchscreen displays an alert message when traction control is turned off.
Although the traction control system automatically reactivates the next time you start CybertruckModel SModel XModel
3Model Y, it is strongly recommended that you enable it immediately after the circumstances that required you to disable it
have passed.
NOTE: Traction Control can not be disabled when you are actively using cruise control.
Allowing Wheel Slip
To allow the wheels to spin at a limited speed, you can enable Slip Start. Slip Start can be enabled only when
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is moving 30 mph (48 km/h) or slower. Slip Start automatically disables when the
speed exceeds 50 mph (80 km/h).Slip Start can be enabled at any speed, however it is less effective at higher speeds.
Under normal conditions, Slip Start should not be enabled. Enable it only in circumstances where you deliberately want the
wheels to spin, such as:
• Starting on a loose surface, such as gravel or snow.
• Driving in deep snow, sand or mud.
• Rocking out of a hole or deep rut.
To allow the wheels to spin, touch Controls > Pedals & Steering > Dynamics > Slip Start.

The instrument paneltouchscreen displays an alert message when Slip Start is enabled.
Although Slip Start is automatically disabled the next time you start CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y, it is strongly
recommended that you disable it immediately after the circumstances that required you to enable it have passed.
NOTE: Slip Start can not be enabled when you are actively using cruise control.
Disabling Traction Control
Under normal conditions, the traction control system should remain on. Turn it off only in circumstances where you
deliberately want the wheels to spin, such as:
• Starting on a loose surface, such as gravel or snow.
• Driving in deep snow, sand or mud.
• Rocking out of a hole or deep rut.
• Driving off-road.
On Rear-Wheel Drive vehicles, turn off traction control and allow the wheels to spin by touching Controls > Dynamics > Slip
Start.
On All-Wheel Drive vehicles, you can choose one of these options, depending on the circumstances:
• Slip Start is designed to make it easier to dislodge Model Y when stuck in mud, snow, ice, etc. Turning on Slip Start allows
the wheels to spin, making it possible to rock Model Y out of a situation in which the wheels are stuck.
• Off-Road Assist is designed to provide overall improvements when driving off-road. In addition to allowing the wheels to
spin, Off-Road Assist balances the torque between the front and rear motors to optimize traction. Off-Road Assist
improves traction on rough and soft surfaces where one side of the vehicle may lose traction while the other side still has
traction. When Off-Road Assist is on, the accelerator pedal provides more gradual torque, which is useful for crawling at
low speeds (for example, over rocky surfaces). When enabled, OFF-ROAD displays on the touchscreen above the driving
speed.
After the circumstances that required you to turn on Slip Start or Off-Road Assist have passed, it is strongly recommended
that you turn the setting off to re-enable traction control. If you leave these settings on, Traction Control automatically reenables on your next drive.
When you turn on Slip Start or Off-Road Assist, the touchscreen displays an indicator light to indicate that the
traction control system is no longer preventing wheel slip.
NOTE: Although you can use Slip Start and Off-Road Assist at any speed, it is less effective at higher speeds.
NOTE: Slip Start and Off-Road Assist are not available when you are actively using Autopilot.
NOTE: Engaging cruise control when Slip Start or Off-Road Assist is on causes the feature to turn off and traction control to
be re-enabled.
NOTE: Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane Departure Avoidance do not operate when Off-Road Assist is turned on.
