Interior Overview
2Model S Owner
When you shift back into Drive, the mirrors tilt
back to their normal (upward) position. But
now that you have adjusted them for backing
up, they automatically tilt to the selected downward position whenever you shift into
Reverse.
You can turn the auto-tilt feature on or off
using the touchscreen, Touch Controls >
Vehicle > Mirror Auto-Tilt .
Note: Depending on date of manufacture and
options selected at time of purchase, some Model S vehicles are not equipped with Mirror
Auto-Tilt.
Rear View Mirror
The rear view mirror is adjusted manually.
When in the Drive or Neutral gear, the rear
view mirror automatically dims in low lighting
conditions (for example, when driving at night or through a tunnel).
