Wipers and Washers
Wipers
To perform a single wipe with the windshield
wipers, press and immediately release the
button on the end of the left-hand steering column lever.
To adjust the continuous wiper settings, touch the windshield wiper icon located in the"Cards" area on the touchscreen (see
Touchscreen Overview on page 4). The wiper
card displays the current state of the wipers.
Note: When you operate the wipers, the
headlights automatically turn on (if they were
not on already).
Caution: To avoid damaging the hood,
ensure that the hood is fully closed before
activating the windshield wipers.
1. Turn the wipers on or off.
2. Adjust the speed of the wipers.

DisplayManually control the brightness and the DAY (light background) or NIGHT
(dark background) setting of the touchscreen. When set to AUTO, the
brightness changes automatically between day and night brightness based
on ambient lighting conditions.
Brightness : Drag the slider to manually control the brightness level of the
touchscreen. When Auto brightness is on, the touchscreen is further
adjusted based on both the surroundings and by learning your preferences
(for example, it remembers the type of manual adjustments you make).
Screen Clean Mode : Disable the touchscreen momentarily for cleaning
purposes.
Customize how units are displayed:

DrivingAcceleration: Adjust the amount of acceleration. Chill limits acceleration for
a slightly smoother and gentler ride, whereas Standard provides the normal
level of acceleration.
Note: When Chill is selected, Chill displays on the touchscreen above the
driving speed.
Steering Mode : Adjust the amount of effort required to turn the steering
wheel. Sport feels more responsive whereas Comfort feels easier to drive
and park (see Adjusting Steering Effort on page 46).
Regenerative Braking : When you release the accelerator when driving,
regenerative braking slows Model 3 and feeds any surplus energy back to
the Battery. If set to LOW, Model 3 does not slow down as quickly, but also
feeds less energy back to the Battery (see Regenerative Braking on page
60).
Note: Regardless of the setting selected, the energy gained by regenerative
braking is reduced if the Battery is full, or is extremely cold or hot (in which
case, surplus energy is used to heat or cool it).
Traction Control : Turn slip start on to allow wheels to spin (see Traction
Control on page 62).
Creep : When on, Model 3 applies forward torque in Drive and backwards
torque in Reverse when you release the brake pedal (similar to a
conventional vehicle with an automatic transmission). The torque moves the
vehicle slowly on
