The Pedestrian Warning System (if equipped) causes
Model 3 to emit sound when driving below 19 mph (32
km/h) or while driving in reverse. Electric vehicles
operate quietly and this sound helps to alert pedestrians of your oncoming vehicle. The sound, which activates
whenever
Model 3 is shifted out of Park, gets louder as
speed increases.
NOTE: The Pedestrian Warning System is not available in
vehicles manufactured prior to September 1, 2019.
WARNING: If sound cannot be heard, pedestrians
may not be aware of your oncoming vehicle, which
may increase the likelihood of a collision resulting
in serious injury or death. If the Pedestrian
Warning System is not operating, immediately
contact Tesla.

To ensure that Model 3 provides you with the best
ownership experience possible in harsh cold weather
conditions, follow these best practices.
Before Driving
When snow and ice accumulate on your vehicle, moving
parts, such as the door handles, windows, mirrors, and
wipers can freeze in place. For these reasons, and to
achieve maximum range and performance, it is helpful to warm the cabin and Battery before you leave. There are
several ways to do so:

Winter Tires and Tire Chains

NOTE: If your charge port latch is frozen in place, it may
not lock the charging cable in place when inserted, but it can still charge at a slow AC rate even if the latch is not engaged.
Storage
If you leave Model 3 parked for an extended period of
time, plug it into a charger to prevent normal range loss
and to keep the Battery at an optimal temperature. Your vehicle is safe to stay plugged in for any length of time.
When not in use, Model 3 enters a sleep mode to
conserve energy. Reduce the number of times you check
your vehicle

5.
Remove the towel or other soft material used to prop the door handle open.
6.
Pivot the door handle in and out approximately ten times.
7.
For a second time, place the end of the straw next to the pivot pin and spray it for approximately one
second, taking care not to accidentally spray other components.
NOTE: Rest the end of the straw on the top of the
spring around the pivot pin to better aim the spray.
8.
Remove the towel or other soft material used to prop the door handle open.
9.
Pivot the door handle in and out approximately ten times.
10.
Perform this procedure on the other three door handles.

How It Works
Your Model 3 includes the following Autopilot components that actively monitor the surrounding area:
1.
A camera is mounted above the rear license plate.
2.
Ultrasonic sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers.
3.
A camera is mounted in each door pillar.
4.
Three cameras are mounted to the windshield above the rear view mirror.
5.
A camera is mounted to each front fender.
6.
Radar (if equipped) is mounted behind the front bumper.
Model 3 is also equipped with high precision electronically-assisted braking and steering systems.
In addition, vehicles in the U.S. also have a cabin camera that can determine driver inattentiveness and provide alerts
when Autopilot is engaged. By default, data from the camera does not leave the vehicle itself. In other words, data is
not saved or transmitted unless you enable data sharing. To enable data sharing, touch
Controls > Safety & Security
> Data Sharing > Allow Cabin Camera Analytics. Cabin Camera Analytics helps Tesla continue to develop even safer
vehicles in the future. See
Cabin Camera on page 21.
NOTE: Ensure all cameras and sensors are clean before each drive. See Cleaning Cameras and Sensors on page 80
for more information. Dirty cameras and sensors, as well as environmental conditions such as rain and faded lane markings, can
affect Autopilot performance.
