Summary

TeslaeBay logo 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.

Adjusting Exterior Mirrors
Press the button associated with the mirror you want to adjust (left or right). The button's light turns on and you can then press
the dial to move the mirror to the desired position. Repeat for the other side mirror. If prompted, touch Save on the
touchscreen to save the mirror adjustment in your driver profile.

Auto-Tilt automatically tilts mirrors downward when backing up. To turn Auto-Tilt on or off, touch Controls > Vehicle > Mirror
Auto-Tilt.To adjust the auto-tilt position, make mirror adjustments with CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y shifted
into Reverse. When you shift out of Reverse, mirrors tilt back to their normal (upward) position. But now that you have adjusted
them for backing up, they automatically tilt to the selected downward position whenever you shift into Reverse.
NOTE: Depending on date of manufacture and options selected at time of purchase, some Model S vehicles are not equipped
with Mirror Auto-Tilt.
The driver’s side mirror automatically dims at night, in proportion to the level of glare from the headlights of a vehicle behind
you (except when in Reverse). Also, both exterior side mirrors have heaters that turn on and off with the rear window defroster.
NOTE: Depending on date of manufacture and options selected at time of purchase, some Model S vehicles are not equipped
with a side mirror that automatically dims at night and may not include heated side mirrors. In addition, mirror adjustments may
not be saved to your driver profile.
NOTE: See Cold Weather Best Practices on page 687 for information to ensure your mirrors function properly in cold weather.
Folding Mirrors

When you manually fold the mirrors, they remain folded until your driving speed reaches 31 mph (50 km/h) (or until you
manually unfold them).
NOTE: You cannot fold a mirror when driving over 31 mph (50 km/h).
To set the mirrors to fold automatically whenever you exit and lock CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y touch
Controls > Vehicle > Mirror Auto-Fold. The mirrors unfold automatically when you unlock CybertruckModel SModel XModel
3Model Y.
You can also set the mirrors to fold automatically whenever you arrive at a specific location, which saves you from having to
manually fold them each time you arrive at a frequented place. To set this up, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y
must be driving at a low speed (less than 3 mph/5 km/h) or stopped at the location you want your vehicle to remember. Then
touch Controls > Always Fold Mirrors at this Location. Next time you approach the saved location, your mirrors fold and unfold
within 25 feet (7.5 meters) of the location. To stop the mirrors from folding at a saved location, drive to the saved location and
touch the X next to Auto-Fold Set at This Location.
NOTE: When you leave the saved location, mirrors can unfold when your driving speed is over 3 mph (5 km/h), or until you
touch Controls > Unfold Mirrors.
NOTE: Mirrors can automatically fold if you return to a saved location and are driving below 31 mph (50 km/h).
NOTE: You can override the automatic folding/unfolding of mirrors at any time (for example, CybertruckModel SModel XModel
3Model Y has no power) by pushing the mirror assembly away from you to unfold, or pulling it toward you to fold.
You can integrate auto-folding mirrors with HomeLink (see Smart Garage on page 365). To enable, go to HomeLink > AutoFold Mirrors when Nearby.

NOTE: If you expect ice to accumulate when CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is parked, turn off Mirror Auto Fold.
Accumulation of ice can prevent exterior side mirrors from folding or unfolding. See Cold Weather Best Practices on page 687
for information on how to ensure your mirrors function properly in cold weather.

Shifting
How to Shift
When CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is in Park, you must press the brake pedal to shift.
Move the drive stalk up or down to shift into different drive modes.

If you try to shift when it is prohibited by the current driving speed, a chime sounds and the drive mode does not change.
Reverse

Push the drive stalk all the way up and release. You can only shift into Reverse when CybertruckModel SModel XModel
3Model Y is stopped or moving less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Neutral

Neutral allows CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y to roll freely when you are not pressing the brake pedal:
• When in Park, shift into Neutral by briefly pushing the drive stalk either up or down to the first position.

Owners Manual
• When in Drive, shift into Neutral by briefly pushing the drive stalk up to the first position. If Autosteer or Traffic-Aware
Cruise Control is active, you must push the drive stalk up to the first position and hold it there for more than 1 second. In
doing so, Autosteer or Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is disabled.
• When in Reverse, shift into Neutral by briefly pushing the drive stalk down to the first position.
NOTE: You must press the brake pedal to shift out of Neutral if driving slower than approximately 5 mph (8 km/h).
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y automatically shifts into Park when you leave the driver's seat. To stay in Neutral,
use the touchscreen to engage Transport Mode (see Instructions for Transporters on page 913).
If CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is in Park and you use the touchscreen to release the parking brake (Controls >
Safety > Parking Brake), CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y shifts into Neutral (see Parking Brake on page 466).
Drive

Push the drive stalk all the way down and release. You can shift into Drive when CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is
stopped or moving less than 5 mph (8 km/h) in Reverse.
NOTE: When in Drive, push the drive stalk all the way down and release to enable cruise control (see Cruise Control on page
476).
NOTE: When in Drive, push the drive stalk all the way down once to engage Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, or twice in quick
succession to engage Autosteer. If Autopilot Activation is set to Single Pull, pulling the drive stalk down once activates
Autosteer (which includes Traffic-Aware Cruise Control). Touch Controls > Autopilot > Autopilot Activation and choose Double
Pull to use Traffic-Aware Cruise Control independently of Autosteer when you pull the drive stalk down once. For more
information, see Autopilot Settings on page 550.
Park

Press the end of the drive stalk while CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is stopped.

CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y automatically shifts into Park to prevent roll-away while driving in low speeds.
This happens whenever you connect a charge cable, unbuckle your seat belt, or open the door while in Drive or Neutral.
Ensure the charge cable is removed, buckle your seat belt, and close the door before shifting out of Park.
Attempting to engage the parking brake above 5 mph (8 km/h) will result in emergency braking (see Emergency Braking on
page 460).
To make it convenient to pick up passengers, you can also unlock all doors and/or extend the door handles at any time by
shifting into Park then pressing the Park button a second time.
NOTE: You must press the brake pedal to shift out of Park.
NOTE: The above conditions do not reflect a comprehensive list of reasons why CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y
may or may not automatically shift into Park and, in certain scenarios, it is possible for your vehicle to shift into Park when only
one of the above conditions is true.
