Creating a Driver Profile
When you first adjust the driver’s seat, steering wheel, or
driver’s side mirror, the touchscreen prompts you to
create a driver
profile to save these adjustments. Your
profile also saves some of the preferences you make
using the touchscreen's Controls window.
To add a new driver profile, touch the
driver profile icon at the top of the
touchscreen. Then touch Add New
Driver, type the driver's name and touch
Create Profile. Follow the onscreen
instructions to save the seating position
to the driver
profile. You can also check
the Use Easy Entry checkbox if you want
to save (or use existing) Easy Entry
settings (described below) in which the
driver's seat and the steering wheel are
automatically adjusted to make it easy to
enter and exit
Model S.
If you change the position of the steering wheel, driver’s
seat, or driver’s side mirror after you have saved or
chosen a driver
profile, the touchscreen prompts you to
save the new position or restore the previously saved
position (other settings are automatically saved). To
change a setting without saving or restoring, just ignore
the prompt.
To adjust Model S based on a driver’s profile, touch the
driver profile icon and choose the driver name. The
saved adjustments are automatically made.
NOTE: Valet mode is a built-in driver profile used to limit
speed and restrict access to some Model S features (see
Valet Mode on page 38).
NOTE: Depending on date of manufacture and options
selected at time of purchase, some Model S vehicles are
not equipped with the driver profile feature. Also, in
cases where the vehicle is equipped with driver profiles,
some features may not be automatically saved and
adjusted based on the driver profile (for example, mirror
position).
NOTE: To stop automatic adjustments that are in
process based on a driver's
profile, touch Stop on the
Driver Profile dropdown menu. Automatic adjustments
also stop if you manually adjust a seat, mirror or the
steering wheel.
Easy Entry
You can define an Easy Entry setting that moves the
steering wheel and driver's seat to make it easy to enter
and exit Model S. Any driver can use the Easy Entry
setting by associating it with their driver's
profile. When
the Easy Entry setting is associated with a driver's
profile, the steering wheel and driver's seat
automatically adjust when the park gear is engaged and
the driver's seat belt is unbuckled, allowing an easy exit
from the vehicle. When returning to the vehicle and
stepping on the brake pedal, settings automatically
adjust back to the settings used by the most recent
driver
profile (or based on the key if it's linked to a driver
profile).
To use Easy Entry with a driver profile, ensure the Use
Easy Entry box is checked.
WARNING: Never use Easy Entry to move the
driver's seat to the full rearward position when a
child safety seat is installed on a rear seat located
behind the driver's seat. With reduced clearance,
the movement of the seat may impact a child's
legs, cause injury, or dislodge the seat.
Restoring a Driver’s Profile
To adjust
Model S based on a driver’s
profile, touch the driver profile icon on
the touchscreen's status bar. Then
choose the driver and Model S is adjusted
based on the settings that have been
saved to the chosen driver
profile.
Saved Settings
A subset of the settings that you choose from the
Controls window to customize your
Model S are also
saved to your driver's profile. The settings that are
associated with driver profiles may vary depending on
the version of software currently installed on your
Model S.
Linking a Driver Profile to a Key
You can link a driver profile to a specific key to allow
Model S to automatically select the correct driver profile
when the linked key is detected as you approach the
vehicle and open the driver's door. To link a driver profile
to a key, enter Model S with the key and touch the driver
profile icon on the top of the touchscreen. Select the
driver profile you would like to link to the key, then touch
Link to Key Fob.
NOTE: Model S only detects one key at a time. The
driver profile is linked to the key that is detected by the
vehicle at that time. Therefore, if you want to link driver
profiles to multiple keys, ensure that only the key that
you would like to link the driver profile to is within
detection range while performing the linking procedure.
Move all other keys outside of the detection range (at
least
three feet (one meter) away from Model S).
NOTE: Model S can support up to three linked keys.
However, a driver
profile can only be linked to one key.
To remove the link between a driver profile and key,
touch the driver profile icon on the top of the
touchscreen. Select the driver profile, then touch the X
next to Linked to Key Fob.
