Touchscreen Overview
USING THE TOUCHSCREEN5.3 1.Status bar
The top line displays status symbols and
provides shortcuts to Charging, HomeLink,
Driver Profiles, vehicle information (the
Tesla “T”), software update notifications,
Bluetooth
® and the passenger airbag
setting. The status symbols show current
temperature, network signal strength,
Bluetooth, passenger airbag status, and
time. If an alert icon (exclamation mark) is
displayed, touch it to see warning messages
that are in effect.
NOTE: Time is automatically set over the
mobile network. To change the units used
to display temperature (C
o or Fo) and time
(12- or 24- hour format), touch Controls >
Settings > Language & Units.
2.Apps
There are several ways to display an app in
the main viewing area:
•Tap the app’s icon to display it in the top
viewing area. If the app is already
displayed, a second tap displays it in
full-screen view (only some apps have a
full-screen mode).
•Drag the app’s icon directly onto the top
or bottom viewing area.
•Touch and hold the app’s icon to display
a popup that lets you choose whether to
display the app in the top or bottom of
the main viewing area. 3.Main viewing area
The main viewing area changes depending
on the app you have chosen (in the
example, the Nav and Media apps are
displayed). For some apps (such as Nav and
Web), you can zoom in and out using
standard touchcreen finger gestures.
4.Maximize/minimize app
Touch the small rectangle to expand the
associated app to fill the entire main
viewing area (some apps are not
expandable). Touch again to display two
apps in half-screen view.
5.Controls

settings (doors, locks, lights, etc).
6.Climate controls (see page 5.9).
7.Vo l u m e co n t r o l
Touch the up and down arrows to increase
or decrease the volume of the speakers.
You can also adjust the volume using the
scroll wheel on the left side of the steering
wheel.
NOTE: When you open a door to enter
Model S, Media Player begins playing
whatever was playing when you exited. The
volume is low until you sit down and close
the driver’s door, at which point, the volume
ramps up to the previously set level. Then
again, when you open the door to exit, the
volume lowers. When the last door is
closed, Media Player stops playing.
8.Reverse the position of the two currently
displayed apps.
WARNING: Do not read the touchscreen
while driving. Doing so increases the
likelihood of a collision. Everything you need to
know when driving is displayed on the
instrument panel. Media. See page 5.12.
Nav. See page 5.20.

you experience a brief delay as Model S
shuts down and restarts the touchscreen.

formatting convention used to display
dates (mm dd yy/dd-mm-yy, etc) and
decimal separators (5.123, 5,123, etc).
•Distance: Miles or kms can be shown on
the range display, speedometer, energy
chart, trip meters, Google map searches
and navigation routes.
•Time: 12 or 24 hour format.
•Temperature:
oF or oC.
•Charging Units: Display energy (kWh) or
distance (miles/kms).
•Range: Rated range (based on ECE R101
testing), or Ideal range (based on the
assumption of driving in ideal conditions
at a steady speed of 89 km/h on a flat
road, and using no additional energy
(seat heaters, air conditioning, etc).
4.Ve h i c l e
•Drive-away Door Lock: If on, all doors
automatically lock whenever you drive
Model S over 8 km/h (see page 2.5).
•Walk-away Door Lock: If on, all doors
automatically lock when you walk away
from Model S, carrying the key with you
(see page 2.5). Available only if Model S is
equipped with the optional tech package.
•Child-Protection Locks: If on, safety locks
prevent the rear doors and the liftgate
from being opened from inside Model S.
•Auto-Present Handles: If on, door handles
extend automatically whenever you
approach Model S carrying a key,
whether locked or unlocked (see
page 2.4.•Mirror Auto-Tilt: If on, exterior mirrors tilt
downward when reversing (see
page 4.5). Available only if Model S is
equipped with the optional tech package.
•Headlights After Exit: If on, headlights
stay on for two minutes after you exit, or
until you lock Model S (see page 4.13).
•Range Mode: If on, Model S conserves
energy by limiting the power of the
climate control system. Cabin heating and
cooling may be less effective.
5.Safety & Security
Turn various safety and security features on
and off:
•Passenger Airbag (see page 3.17).
•Alarm, and security options Model S is
equipped with (see page 5.22).
•Remote access by Tesla’s mobile
applications (see page 5.25).
6.HomeLink
Use HomeLink to control RF-enabled
garage doors, lights, or security systems
(see page 5.23).
WARNING: Do not read the touchscreen
while driving. Doing so increases the
likelihood of a collision. Everything you need to
know when driving is displayed on the
instrument panel.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
USING THE TOUCHSCREEN5.23
HomeLink® Universal TransceiverAbout HomeLink®
If Model S is equipped with the optional
tech package, you can program the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to operate up
to three garage doors, gates, lights, and
security systems that can transmit Radio
Frequency (RF) signals.
Programming HomeLink
1.Park in front of the device you want to
program, and have the device’s remote
control ready.
2.To u c h Controls > Settings > HomeLink on
the touchscreen.
3.To u c h Enter Name, then use the onscreen
keyboard to enter a name for your
HomeLink device.
4.To u c h Create HomeLink.
5.Follow the onscreen instructions.
Once programmed, you can operate the device
by touching its corresponding HomeLink icon
on the touchscreen’s status bar. HomeLink
remembers the location of your programmed
devices. When you approach a known location,
the HomeLink control on the touchscreen
automatically drops down. When you drive
away, it disappears.
NOTE: For security reasons, erase your
HomeLink settings if you sell Model S.
WARNING: Your device might open or
close during programming. Before
programming, make sure that the device
is clear of any people or objects.
WARNING: Do not use the HomeLink
Universal Transceiver with a garage door
that does not meet federal safety
standards. A garage door opener that
cannot detect an object in its path and
then automatically stop and reverse,
does not meet these standards. Using a
garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of injury or
death.
