2018 TESLA MODEL S towing

1.Close
Touch the circled X in the top left corner of a window to close it (or you can touch anywhere
outside the window).
2. Sunroof
If Model S is equipped with a sunroof, touch to adjust its position (see Sunroof on page 16).
3. Suspension
If Model S is equipped with Smart Air Suspension, touch to manually raise or lower Model S, or to remove a previously saved auto-raising location (see Smart Air Suspension on page 117).
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 179 and Jacking and Lifting on page 162).
