Connecting to a Paired Phone
Model S automatically connects with the last
phone to which it was connected, provided it
is within operating range and has Bluetooth turned on. If the last phone is not within range,
it attempts to connect with the next phone
that it has been paired with.
To connect to a different phone, touch the
Bluetooth icon on the top of the touchscreen.
The Bluetooth window displays a list of paired
phones. Choose the phone you want to connect to, then touch Connect. If the phone
you want to connect to is not listed, you must
pair the phone. See Pairing a Bluetooth Phone
on page 133.
When connected, the Model S touchscreen displays the Bluetooth symbol next to thephone name to show that the connection is
active.
Using the Phone App
When your phone is connected to Model S
using Bluetooth, and you have allowed access to your phone

Auto-Raising SuspensionAuto-raising suspension saves you from
manually having to raise the suspension every
time you arrive at a frequently-used location
where you have previously raised the
suspension. Whenever you raise the
suspension to HIGH or VERY HIGH , Model S
saves the location. When you return to the saved location, Model S raises the suspension
and the instrument panel displays this
message:
Note: When returning to a saved location and
driving faster than the High and Very High
suspension settings allow, the suspension
does not raise until Model S slows down.
Note: After leaving a saved location, the
suspension may not lower until you are driving
faster than the speed threshold at which the
suspension lowers.
Note: If Model S reaches a saved location and
the existing suspension setting is already
higher than the level that has been saved for
that location, the ride height is not adjusted.
To remove an auto-raising location
If you do not want the suspension to auto-
raise at a saved location, touch the X in the
auto-raising location status message that
displays at a saved location. Doing so removes
the auto-raise location and the suspension no
longer raises automatically when you arrive at
the location.
Note: Manually lowering the suspension to
STANDARD or LOW while at a saved location
also removes the auto-raising location.
Jack Mode Before jacking or lifting, set the suspension to
Jack mode to prevent the self-leveling that
occurs even when Model S is powered off.
Press the brake pedal, then touch Controls >
Suspension > Jack .
To deactivate, touch Jack again.
Note: Jack mode automatically cancels when
you drive over 7 km/h.
Note: Model S also sets Jack mode
automatically if it detects that the vehicle
cannot lower to its target height, or if it
detects that an object is supporting the
vehicle

Connecting to Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is available as a data connection method and is often faster than cellular data networks.
Connecting to Wi-Fi is especially useful in areas with limited or no cellular connectivity.
To ensure fast, reliable delivery of software
and map updates, Tesla recommends leaving your vehicle connected to a Wi-Fi network
whenever possible (for example, if parked in
your garage overnight).
To connect to a Wi-Fi network:
1. Touch the cellular icon (usually LTE or 3G)
on the top corner of your touchscreen.
Model S will start scanning and display the
detected Wi-Fi networks that are within
range.
2. Select the Wi-Fi network you want to use,
enter the password (if necessary), then
touch Confirm .
3. Your vehicle connects to the Wi-Fi
network and will automatically connect to it whenever the network is within range.
You can also connect to a hidden network that
isn

Software Updates
Loading New Software
Model S updates its software wirelessly,
providing new features throughout your term of ownership. Tesla recommends that you
install software updates as soon as they are
available. The first time you enter Model S
after an update is made available, a scheduling window displays on the touchscreen. The
scheduling window displays again at the end
of your first driving session.
Note: Some software updates can take up to
three hours to complete. Model S must be in
Park while the new software is being installed.
To ensure the fastest and most reliable
delivery of software updates, leave the Wi-Fi
turned on and connected whenever possible
(see Connecting to Wi-Fi on page 142).
Note: Software updates using cellular data are
also available if your vehicle is equipped with
premium connectivity.
Warning: Do not attempt to use the
vehicle while the software is being
updated. Vehicle functions, including
some safety systems, may be limited or disabled while a software update is inprogress and you could damage the
vehicle.
When a software update is available, a yellow
clock icon appears on the touchscreen

Changing Charge SettingsThe charging screen displays on thetouchscreen whenever the charge port door is
open. To display the charging screen at any
time:Touch the Apps icon, then touch
the charging icon.
Note: The following illustration is provided for
demonstration purposes only and may vary
slightly depending on software version and
market region.
Note: If charging at a Tesla Supercharger, and
paid supercharging is potentially in effect, the
charging screen also displays information
about your previous or current Supercharger
session (see Supercharger Usage Fees and
Idle Fees on page 154).
Note: To reduce congestion at high-usage
supercharger sites, you may be automatically
limited to a maximum charge of 80% when not using Trip Planner (see Trip Information).
You can manually increase the limit by tapping
“Set Limit” on the touchscreen or mobile app.
1. Charge status messages (such as
Charging Scheduled, Charging) display
here.
2. To adjust the charge limit, touch Set Limit,
and drag the arrow to change the charge
limit setting. The setting you choose
applies to immediate and scheduled
charging sessions.
3. The current automatically sets to the
maximum current available from the
attached charge cable, unless it was
previously reduced to a lower level. If
needed, touch - or + to change the current
(for example, you may want to reduce the
current if you are concerned about
overloading a domestic wiring circuit
shared by other equipment). It is not
possible to set the charging current to a
level that exceeds the maximum available
from the attached charge cable. When
you change the current, Model S
remembers the location. If you charge at
the same location, you do not need to change it again.
Note: For 3-phase charging (if applicable
in your region), the available current
represents the current per phase (up to 32 amps). During charging, the right status
