Suspension
Use these settings to adjust the settings associated with
the air suspension system. You can adjust the
Ride
Height, ranging from Low to Very High. You can
optimize ride and handling by choosing Adaptive
Suspension Damping settings, view real-time details of
the status of the suspension system, and save locations
at which you want the ride height to automatically raise
(helpful for increasing ground clearance on steep
driveways, etc.) For details, see Air Suspension on page
139.
Lights
Use these settings to control exterior and interior lights.
Exterior light controls (
Exterior Lights, Front Fog, and
Rear Fog) are also available on the Quick Controls tab,
and are described in the previous topic. For detailed
information on lights, see
Lights on page 48. Using this
tab, you can also control the following light settings:
•
Dome Lights: Turn the overhead lights to OFF, ON, or
AUTO. When set to AUTO, the dome lights
automatically turn on when you unlock Model S, open
a door upon exiting, or shift into Park.
•
Ambient Lights: If on, the interior lights turn on
whenever the headlights are on (if equipped).
•
Daytime Running Lights: Toggle on if you would like
you have your headlights on during the day time (if
equipped).
•
Auto High Beam: If on, the high beam headlights can
automatically switch to low beam when there is light
(for example, from an oncoming vehicle) detected in
front of Model S. See High Beam Headlights on page
50.
•
Headlights after Exit: If on, the headlights remain on
when you stop driving and park Model S in low
lighting conditions. They automatically turn o after
one minute or when you lock Model S.
Driving
Acceleration: (If equipped) Choose an acceleration
setting that determines whether acceleration is limited
or increased (see
Acceleration Modes on page 67). Chill
limits acceleration for a slightly smoother and gentler
ride, whereas Standard or Sport (depending on vehicle
configuration) provides the normal level of acceleration.
NOTE: When Chill is selected, Chill displays on the
touchscreen above the driving speed.
Steering Mode: Adjust the amount of eort required to
turn the steering wheel.
Sport feels more responsive
whereas Comfort feels easier to drive and park (see
Adjusting Steering Eort on page 39).
Regenerative Braking
: When you release the accelerator
when driving, regenerative braking slows Model S and
feeds any surplus energy back to the Battery. If set to
LOW, Model S does not slow down as quickly, but also
feeds less energy back to the Battery (see Regenerative
Braking on page 60).
NOTE: Regardless of the setting selected, the energy
gained by regenerative braking is reduced if the Battery
is full, or is extremely cold or hot (in which case, surplus
energy is used to heat or cool it).
NOTE: The regenerative braking setting is not available
on all vehicles.
Stopping Mode: Choose how you want Model S to
behave once regenerative braking has reduced the
driving speed to a very low speed, a driving gear is still
engaged, and both the accelerator and brake pedals are
released. See
Stopping Mode on page 60. You can
adjust this setting only when Model S is in Park.
Slip Start: Turn slip start on to allow wheels to spin (see
Traction Control on page 63).
Range Mode (if equipped): If on, Model S conserves
energy by automatically limiting the amount of power
that the climate control system uses to maintain the
temperature of the cabin area and limits the amount of
energy being used to heat or cool the Battery. In
addition, Range Mode turns
o signature lights (only in
market regions where daytime running lights are not
required).
Autopilot
Control features that provide a safer and more
convenient driving experience. Some Autopilot features
are not controlled through Controls. See About
Autopilot on page 79 for more information.
•
Autosteer (Beta): Enable the auto steering feature
(available only if your vehicle is equipped with an
Autopilot package) (see Autosteer on page 88).
•
Navigate on Autopilot (Beta): Navigate on Autopilot
automatically exits at o-ramps and interchanges
based on your navigation route and can also make
lane changes designed to prepare for exits and
minimize the driving time to your destination
(available only if your vehicle is equipped with an
Autopilot package). Touch
Customize Navigate on
Autopilot to specify how you want Navigate on
Autopilot to operate, such as whether you want it to
automatically enable at the start of every trip, how
you want it to perform lane changes, etc. (see
Navigate on Autopilot on page 92).
NOTE: Navigate on Autopilot is not available in all
market regions.
•
Trac Light and Stop Sign Control (Beta) (if
equipped): You can enable the ability for Model S to
automatically stop at trac lights and stop signs (see
Trac Light and Stop Sign Control on page 95).
