and drag it. The sunroof moves to the selected position.
Touch OPEN once to open the sunroof to its
comfort position (75% open to minimize wind noise). Or, move the sunroof to the comfort
position by dragging the slider bar to the indent position. If you
find wind noise (which
varies depending on driving speed) excessive,
even with the sunroof in the comfort position,
open a window slightly.
Touch OPEN twice to open the sunroof fully.

Model S must be powered on and you must press the brake pedal before you can change
suspension settings. Smart Air Suspension causes Model S to self-level, even when powered
off. Therefore, when towing or lifting, you must disable self-leveling (see Instructions for
Transporters on page 175 and Jacking and Lifting on page 158).

Overview
Touch the Media icon to listen to the radio or
play audio
files. The touchscreen displays the
Media Player. Media Player has two tabs. Use the Browse tab to select what you want to
play and use the Now Playing tab to view and
control what is currently playing. You can play
AM and FM radio (including HD), and XM
satellite radio (if Model S is equipped with the optional sound package). You can also play
Internet radio (such as TuneIn), and audio
filesfrom a Bluetooth-connected device or a USB-
connected flash drive.
Volume Control To adjust the media volume, roll the scroll
wheel on the left side of the steering wheel up
or down. To mute the volume, tap the scroll
wheel.
Note: The scroll wheel adjusts the volume for
media, navigation instructions and phone calls
based on what is currently in use. As you
adjust volume, the instrument panel displays
the volume level and whether you are
adjusting volume for media, navigation or phone.
Note: Muting the volume during a phone call
also mutes the microphone.
AM and FM Radio Model S provides AM and FM radio services.
These can be selected from the Browse tab or using the Source Picker, located in the upper
right corner of the Media Player window.
You can manually tune the radio to any
frequency by touching and dragging the
channel selector bar on the Now Playing
screen. The channel selector bar allows you to
move from one available radio station to the next.
XM Radio If Model S is equipped with the optional sound
studio package, you can listen to XM radio, a
subscription-based satellite radio service. To
receive XM radio channels, you must provide
the radio service provider with the radio ID for
your touchscreen.
To view the radio ID:
1. Select the XM radio source.
2. Tune it to channel 0.
3. The Radio ID displays in the station information area.
To select an XM radio channel, you can either
manually scroll through the channel numbers, or you can browse the channels by category.
To browse by category, touch Browse >
Radio > XM Satellite Radio.
Note: On some vehicles, XM radio is available
only if Model S is equipped with both the
optional sound studio package and the panoramic roof. To optimize aerodynamics,
Model S does not have an external antenna. The internal antenna is compatible only with
the transparent panoramic roof.
