Active Air Suspension
USING THE TOUCHSCREEN5.11
Active A ir SuspensionAutomatic Height Adjustments
If Model S is equipped with Active Air
Suspension, the system adjusts the height
based on driving speed. It also maintains a level
height between the front and rear when
carrying loads.
NOTE: When Model S starts, you might hear the
sound of a compressor as the system’s
reservoir fills with air.
If Model S is moving, Active Air Suspension
adjusts height as follows:
•Whenever you drive between 90 and 115
km/h, the suspension lowers to Low to
improve aerodynamics and handling. When
your driving slows to less than 65 km/h, the
suspension raises back to Standard.
•Whenever you drive over 115 km/h, the
suspension immediately lowers to Low.
•Whenever you drive at a speed less than
40 km/h, the suspension immediately
raises to Standard.
•If you set the suspension to Low, then drive
over 7 km/h, the suspension reverts to
Standard.
•If you set the suspension to Very High, then
drive over 15 km/h, the suspension lowers
to High.
•If you set the suspension to High, then drive
over 30 km/h, the suspension lowers to
Standard.
After driving, the height of the suspension
periodically levels, even when Model S is
powered off.
If a fault is detected with the air
suspension system, a yellow indicator
displays on the instrument panel. If the
problem persists, contact Tesla.
Manual Height Adjustments
CAUTION: Before adjusting the
suspension height, ensure Model S is
clear of all obstacles above and below.
Use the touchscreen to manually change the
height of Model S. Press the brake pedal and
touch Controls. Then choose from:
•Very High - The suspension raises 33 mm
above its normal height. Useful for extra
ground clearance (ramps, speed bumps,
etc).•High - The suspension raises 23 mm above
its normal height. Useful for extra ground
clearance (ramps, speed bumps, etc).
•Standard - The default height. This setting
ensures optimum comfort and handling
under all loading conditions.
•Low - The suspension lowers 20 mm below
its normal height. Useful for loading or
unloading cargo and passengers.
NOTE: Available settings depend on your
driving speed and other conditions. For
example, the suspension does not lower if a
door is open.
Jack Mode
Before jacking or lifting, set the suspension to
Jack mode to prevent the self-leveling that
occurs even when Model S is powered off.
Press the brake pedal, then touch
Controls > Jack.
When Model S is in Jack mode, a red air
suspension indicator displays on the
instrument panel.
To deactivate, touch Jack again.
NOTE: Jack mode automatically cancels when
you drive over 7 km/h.

Follow the steps below to lift Model S. Ensure
that any non-Tesla repair facility is aware of
these lifting points.

follows:
•To u c h Controls.
•Press the brake pedal, then touch Ve r y
High to maximize the height of the
suspension.
•To u c h Jack to disable self-leveling.
When Jack mode is active,

that active suspension is
disabled.
NOTE: Jack mode cancels automatically
when Model S is driven over 7 km/h.
3.Position the lift arm pads under the body
rails at the locations illustrated. DO NOT
position the lift arm pads under the Battery.
4.Adjust the height and position of the lift
arm pads to ensure they are correctly
located.
5.With assistance, raise the lift, ensuring the
lift arm pads remain in their correct
positions.WARNING: If your Model S is equipped
with Active Air Suspension, it
automatically self-levels, even when power is
off. You MUST disable this system by engaging
Jack mode before lifting or jacking. If you do
not disable Active Air Suspension, Model S can
attempt to self-level, causing serious damage,
bodily injury, or death.
WARNING: Never raise Model S when the
charging cable is connected, even if
charging is not in progress.
WARNING: Do not work on an incorrectly
supported vehicle. Doing so can cause
serious damage, bodily injury, or death.
CAUTION: DO NOT lift from under the
