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.
has no power) by pushing the mirror assembly away from you to unfold, or pulling it toward you to fold.
NOTE: If you expect ice to accumulate when Model 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 684
for information on how to ensure your mirrors function properly in cold weather.
You can integrate auto-folding mirrors with HomeLink (see Smart Garage on page 364). To enable, go to HomeLink > AutoFold Mirrors when Nearby.
Rear View Mirror
Adjust the rear view mirror manually. When in Drive or Neutral, the rear view mirror automatically dims in low lighting
conditions based on the time of day (for example, when driving at night).
Vanity Mirrors
To expose and illuminate the vanity mirror, fold the sun visor downwards, then use the tab to lower the mirror cover. After
closing the mirror cover, the light turns off.

Move the drive stalk up or down to shift into different drive modes. A chime sounds whenever you shift gears.
If you try to shift when it is prohibited by the current driving speed, a chime sounds and the drive mode does not change.
If you want to disable chime sounds when you shift gears, touch Controls > Safety > Gear Chimes.
Reverse
Push the drive stalk all the way up and release. You can only shift into Reverse when Model SModel XModel 3Model Y is
stopped or moving less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Neutral
Neutral allows Model 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.

• 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).
Model 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 905).
If Model SModel XModel 3Model Y is in Park and you use the touchscreen to release the parking brake (Controls > Safety >
Parking Brake), Model SModel XModel 3Model Y shifts into Neutral (see Parking Brake on page 462).
Drive
Push the drive stalk all the way down and release. You can shift into Drive when Model 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
472).
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 546.
Park
Press the end of the drive stalk while Model SModel XModel 3Model Y is stopped.
Model 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 455).
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 Model 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.
