Summary
Tesla
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.

trash cans and poles), etc., touch Controls > Autopilot > Full Self-Driving Visualization Preview (if equipped).
1. When Autosteer is available but you haven't activated it, the icon is gray. When Autosteer is actively steering
Model SModel XModel 3Model Y, the icon is blue (see Autosteer on page 548).
2. Currently selected drive mode: Park, Reverse, Neutral, or Drive.
3. Driving speed.
4. The power meter displays real-time power usage (see Regenerative Braking on page 456 for more information). The power
meter may display vertically at the top of the driving status screen but the function is the same.
5. Other cars detected on the road (as applicable).
6. Your Model SModel XModel 3Model Y. Colored lines radiate from the image of your Model SModel XModel 3Model Y as
objects are detected (other motorists, guard rails, etc.). The location of the lines correspond to the location of the detected
object. The color of the lines (white, yellow, orange, or red) represents the object's proximity to Model SModel XModel
3Model Y, with white being the farthest and red being very close and requiring your immediate attention. See Lane Assist
on page 629.
7. When Autosteer is active and detecting the driving lane, the lane is highlighted in blue (see Autosteer on page 548).
NOTE: If Navigate on Autopilot is active, the driving lane displays as a single blue line in front of Model SModel XModel
3Model Y (see Navigate on Autopilot on page 554).
8. The speed limit that is currently being detected by Speed Assist (see Speed Assist on page 642).

10. The set cruising speed. When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is available but you haven't set a cruising speed, the number is
gray (see Traffic-Aware Cruise Control on page 547).
WARNING: Pay attention to important alert messages that display at the bottom of the car status area of the
touchscreen. Ignoring these messages can result in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Although the touchscreen shows surrounding traffic, some vehicles may not be displayed. Never rely on the
touchscreen to determine if a vehicle is present (for example, in your blind spot). Always use your mirrors and perform
shoulder checks.

on the instrument panel to determine if a vehicle is present (for example, in your blind spot). Always use your mirrors
and perform shoulder checks.
9. Your Model SModel XModel 3Model Y.
10. The power meter displays real-time power usage. During acceleration, the bar fills to the right to represent power being
used. During deceleration (when Model SModel XModel 3Model Y is moving and you release your foot from the accelerator
pedal), the bar fills to the left with a green color to represent power being fed back to the Battery by regenerative braking
(see Regenerative Braking on page 456).
11. When Autosteer is active and detects the driving lane, it is highlighted in blue (see Autopilot Features on page 546).
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 SModel XModel
