Exterior Overview
Overview3

The features and information you need to drive Model 3 are displayed on the touchscreen. When
driving, the touchscreen displays driving-related information such as driving speed, vehicle range,
warnings, etc. The touchscreen is used to control many features that, in traditional cars, are controlled using physical buttons (for example, adjusting mirrors). You can also use the
touchscreen to customize Model 3 to suit your preferences.Warning: Always pay attention to road and traffic conditions when driving. To minimize driver
distraction and ensure the safety of vehicle occupants as well as other road users, avoid using
the touchscreen to adjust settings while the vehicle is in motion.
The main areas of the touchscreen are summarized here:
Note: The image below is provided for demonstration purposes only. Depending on vehicle
options, software version and market region, your touchscreen may appear slightly
different.
1. Car Status. This area dynamically displays the current status of Model 3 as you drive, park,
open doors, turn lights on, etc. Monitor this area when driving as it displays important
information such as driving speed and warning messages (see Car Status on page 42).
When the car is in Park, you can open the trunks or charge port door.
2. Cards. This area automatically updates to display certain information such as incoming calls,
seatbelt reminders, current state of the wipers, etc. Additionally, you can swipe to the right or
left to scroll through cards that you can use to quickly access:

Interior Locking and Unlocking
While sitting inside Model 3, you can lock and unlock all doors and trunks by touching the
lock icon on the touchscreen (you do not need an authenticated phone or key card).The icon changes to indicate
whether doors are locked or
unlocked.
You can also unlock the doors by pressing the
Park button on the end of the gear selector a
second time. Pressing this button once engages the Park gear and pressing it again
unlocks the doors.
Walk Away Lock
Doors and trunks can automatically lock
whenever you walk away carrying your
authenticated phone. When the doors lock, the exterior lights
flash once and the mirrors
fold (if equipped with the premium package
and Fold Mirrors is on).
Model 3 does not automatically lock if:

Controlling Lights
Touch Controls > Lights on the touchscreen to
control most of the lights.
In addition to the lights that you can control
from the touchscreen, Model 3 has
convenience lights that operate automatically
based on what you are doing. For example, in
low ambient lighting conditions, interior lights,
marker lights, tail lights, and puddle lights turn
on when you unlock Model 3, when you open
a door, and when you shift into Park. They turn
off after a minute or two or when you shift
into a driving gear or lock Model 3.
1. Exterior lights (headlights, tail lights, side
marker lights, parking lights, and license
plate lights) are set to AUTO each time
you start Model 3. When set to AUTO,
exterior lights automatically turn on when
driving in low lighting conditions. If you
change to a
different setting, lights always
revert to AUTO on your next drive.
Touch one of these options to temporarily
change the exterior light setting:

To briefly flash the high beam headlights, pull
the lever towards you and release.
The following indicator lights are visible on the
touchscreen to show the status of the
headlights:
Low beam headlights are on.High beam headlights are on.
Headlights After Exit
When you stop driving and park Model 3 in
low lighting conditions, the exterior lights
automatically turn on. They automatically turn
off after one minute or when you lock Model 3.
To turn this feature on or
off, touch Controls >
Lights > Settings > Headlights after Exit .
When Headlights After Exit is turned
off,headlights turn off when you engage the Park
gear.
Headlight Adjustments You can adjust the angle of the headlights toaccommodate the load you are carrying. For
example, in situations when you are carrying a
significant amount of weight in the rear trunk,
you may need to lower the angle of the
headlights to avoid creating glare for other
drivers. To adjust the headlights, touch
Controls > Service > Adjust Headlights , then
follow the onscreen instructions. You can
choose which headlight you would like to adjust by selecting it on the touchscreen.
Warning: Proceed with caution when
adjusting headlights. Tesla has carefully
calibrated the position of the headlights
to be in an optimum position for most
driving scenarios. Tesla recommends that
you do not adjust headlights unless you
are familiar with how headlights should
be adjusted. Once adjusted, you will be
unable to automatically restore them to their originally calibrated position.
Contact Tesla for assistance when
adjusting headlights.
Turn Signals
The turn signals
flash three times or
continuously, depending on how far up or
down you move the lever. Lightly push the
turn signal lever up or down for a
three-flashsequence. For a continuous signal, push the lever fully up or down.
The turn signals stop operating when canceled
by the steering wheel or after moving the
lever in the opposite direction.
The corresponding turn signal
indicator lights up on the
touchscreen when a turn signal is
operating. You also hear a clicking
sound.Warning: If you have purchased the
optional Enhanced Autopilot or Full Self-
Driving Capability packages and
Traffic-
Aware Cruise Control is active, engaging
a turn signal can cause Model 3 to accelerate when using
Traffic-AwareCruise Control in specific situations (see
