Stop Signs and Road Markings
When driving with Autosteer or Traffic-aware Cruise Control engaged, and Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control
enabled,
Model 3 is designed to respond as follows when approaching intersections controlled by stop signs, stop
lines, or road markings:
Type of IntersectionVehicle Intended Response
No Traffic Control
Arm of T-junction
Model 3 assumes the right of way and continues straight without slowing down or
stopping.
End of T-junction
If Model 3 detects a T-junction based on the map data, Model 3 slows down and
comes to a complete stop at the red stop line displayed on the
touchscreen. When
you want to proceed, you must take over steering and acceleration.
WARNING: Model 3 may not stop at a T-junction that does not have a stop sign
or stop line, or if the T-junction is not included in the map data. Drive
attentively and be prepared to stop (when necessary and/or appropriate).
Stop Sign
Model 3 slows down and comes to a complete stop at the red stop line displayed on
the
touchscreen. When you want to proceed through the intersection, you must
press down on the drive stalk or briefly press the accelerator pedal.
NOTE: If you confirm that you want to proceed through an intersection controlled by
a stop sign by
pressing down on the drive stalk or briefly pressing the accelerator
pedal before
Model 3 has stopped, your confirmation is ignored. Model 3 is not
designed to proceed through a stop sign without stopping.
NOTE: Even when using Autosteer, and even if you have engaged a turn signal, you
must turn the
steering wheel yourself (which cancels Autosteer) to complete a turn
at an intersection.

WARNING: Model 3 also slows down and stops at a roundabout. You must take over steering (which cancels
Autosteer) and press down on the drive stalk or briefly press the accelerator pedal to confirm that you want to
continue through the roundabout.
WARNING: At crosswalks, Model 3 may slow down and may stop, depending on whether the crosswalk is
controlled by a traffic light and whether the cameras detect pedestrians, bicyclists, etc. in the crosswalk. Pay
particular attention at crosswalks and be prepared to take over at any time. Failure to do so can result in injury
or death.
Limitations
Depending on many different circumstances and environmental conditions, Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control may
or may not stop at:

Immediately after initiating Smart Summon in either
mode, hazard lights
briefly flash, mirrors fold, and Model
3 shifts into the appropriate driving gear (Drive or
Reverse).
Model 3 then slowly moves to within 3 feet (1
meter) of you (COME TO ME) or your chosen destination
(GO TO TARGET), navigating obstacles as needed. As
Model 3 moves, the corresponding red arrow on the map
also moves to show the vehicle

Model 3 monitors the markers on the lane you are
driving in as well as the surrounding areas for the presence of vehicles or other objects.
When an object is detected in your blind spot or near
the side of
Model 3 (such as a vehicle, guard rail, etc.),
the
touchscreen displays colored lines radiating from the
image of your vehicle. The location of the lines correspond to the location of the detected object. The color of the lines (white, yellow, orange, or red)
represent the object

NOTE: When Chill is selected, Chill displays on the
touchscreen above the driving speed.
NOTE: If equipped with the Acceleration Upgrade
package, the modes of acceleration are
Chill and Sport.
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 45).
Stopping Mode: Choose how you want Model 3 to
behave once regenerative braking has reduced the driving speed to a very low speed, a driving gear is still
engaged, and both the accelerator and brake pedals are
released. See
Stopping Mode on page 59. You can adjust
this setting only when
Model 3 is in Park.
Track Mode: (available on Performance vehicles only)
when enabled, this mode
modifies the vehicle

Operating Seat Heaters
To control the front seat heaters for the driver and passenger, touch the corresponding control on the main climate
control area at the bottom of the touchscreen.
To control the rear seat heaters (if equipped) or access duplicate
controls for the front seat heaters, touch the fan icon, then touch the seat heater icon followed by the seat for which
you want to adjust heating. Seat heaters operate at three setting levels from 3 (highest) to 1 (lowest). When
operating, the associated seat icon displays twisting lines that turn red to indicate the setting level. You can touch
All
Off to turn off all seat heaters simultaneously.
Adjusting the Front Vents
Model 3 has a unique horizontal face-level vent that
spans the width of the dashboard. Using the
touchscreen, you can pinpoint exactly where you want to direct the air
flowing from this vent when heating or
cooling the front cabin area.

2.
Passenger vent and controls
When the face-level vent is on you can adjust the direction of the air
flow from each vent. To adjust the
direction of the air
flow, simply touch the radiating air
waves from the corresponding vent on the touchscreen.
The air
flows in a single stream when centered or splits
into mirrored air streams when air is directed outward or inward from the center of the vent.
NOTE: When you split a vent into two separate air flows,
the air flow in each direction is not as strong as when all
air is
flowing in a single direction.
NOTE: Outside air is drawn into Model 3 through the grill
in front of the windshield. Keep the grill clear of
obstructions, such as leaves and snow.
Adjusting the Rear Vents
Model 3 has vents located at the back of the center
console where air
flows from when the setting is turned
on from the touchscreen. To direct the
flow of air in the
rear cabin area, adjust the vents at the rear of the center console up, down, or from side to side as necessary.
Keep Climate On, Dog Mode, and
Camp Mode
The Keep Climate On, Dog, and Camp settings allow you
to keep the climate control system running when in Park,
even after you

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 3 begins to scan
and display detected Wi-Fi networks that are within
range.
NOTE: If a known Wi-Fi network does not appear in
the list, move your vehicle closer to the access point or consider using a range extender to reach your
vehicle.
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. Whenever the network is within range,
Model 3
automatically connects to it.
You can also connect to a hidden network that isn
