38Model S Owner's Manual

Instrument Panel OverviewNote: The following illustration is provided for demonstration purposes only. Depending on
vehicle options, software version, and market region, the information displayed may be slightly different.
1. The center display changes depending on whether Model S is off or ready to drive. If Model S
is off, the center displays shows remaining estimated range and status of doors. Pressing thebrake powers Model S on—the indicator lights flash on for a second and the center display
shows speed, power, charge level, estimated range (see item 9), and active gear. When
Model S is plugged in, the instrument panel displays charging status (see Charging Status on
page 107).
2. Use the left steering wheel buttons to operate the audio system. You can also press and roll
the scroll wheel to change what displays on the left side of the instrument panel (see Steering
Wheel on page 37).
3. Pay attention to important status messages that display here.
4. All indicator lights flash on briefly when you press the brake to prepare to drive. They should
then turn off, unless the light applies to a current situation (see Indicator Lights on page
44).
5. Use the right steering wheel buttons for voice commands, to handle telephone calls, and to
control some features of Model S. You can customize what features the scroll wheel can control (see Using Right Steering Wheel Buttons on page 38).
6. Door lock status
7. Odometer
8. Outside temperature
9. Total estimated driving distance (or energy) available. Instead of driving distance as shown
here, you can display the percentage of battery energy remaining. To do so, touch Controls >
Settings > Units & Format > Energy & Charging (see Settings on page 77).
Note: When anticipating when you need to charge, use range estimates as a general guideline
only.
Note: In cold weather, some of the stored energy in the Battery may not be available on your
drive because the Battery is too cold. When this happens, a portion of the Battery meter is
blue and the driving distance value has a snowflake image next to it. If Model S is plugged in,
you can heat your Battery using wall power by turning on climate control using the mobile
app. When the Battery warms up, the blue portion on the meter and the snowflake image are
no longer displayed.

How Park Assist Works
If Model S is equipped with the Park Assist option, Model S has several sensors designedto detect the presence of objects nearby.When moving slowly in Drive or Reverse, the
sensors alert you if an object is detected close to the front or rear bumper, respectively.Warning: The Park Assist images
provided below are representative only.
The exact number and location of sensors
may vary depending on the date your
Model S was manufactured.
The sensors are activated when driving less
than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Warning: Never depend on Park Assist to
inform you if an area you are approaching is free of objects and/or people. Several
external factors can reduce the
performance of Park Assist, causing
either no readings or false readings (see Limitations and False Warnings on page
67). Therefore, depending on Park Assist to determine if Model S is
approaching an obstruction can result indamage to the vehicle and/or objects,
and can potentially cause serious injury.
Always inspect the area with your own
eyes. When reversing, perform shoulder
checks and use all mirrors. Park assist
does not detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects that are moving, protruding, located too far above
or below the sensors, or too close or too far from the sensors. Park Assist is for
guidance purposes only and is not
intended to replace your own direct
visual checks. It is not a substitute for careful driving.
Visual and Audio Feedback
When you shift to Reverse, the Park Assistview displays on the left side of the
instrument panel, showing any objects that
are in close proximity to the front and rear of
Model S. This view closes when you shift into
Drive unless objects are detected close to the front of the Model S, in which case the Park
Assist view closes automatically when your
driving speed exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h) . When reversing, visual feedback also displays on the
touchscreen, immediately below the camera
view (see Rear View Camera on page 71).
You can close this view manually by touching
the X in the upper left corner.
When driving with the Camera app displayed
on the touchscreen, you can switch to the Park Assist view when driving at speeds
below 5 mph (8 km/h) . Touch the button
located in the upper left corner of the Camera
app window. This is useful if you need
assistance with parallel parking.
If chimes are turned on (see Controlling
Audible Feedback on page 67), an audible
beep sounds as you approach an object. You
can temporarily mute the chime by pressing
the scroll wheel on the left side of the steering
wheel or by touching the mute button located
on the in the bottom left corner of the Park Assist view.
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with software
version 6.1 or newer, and you are driving with the camera app displayed on the touchscreen,
you can switch to the Park Assist view by
touching the icon in the upper left corner of the camera app window. You must be driving
at speeds below 5 mph (8 km/h) .
Note: If a sensor is unable to provide
feedback, the instrument panel displays an
alert message.
