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.

NOTE: The map also has an icon that
allows you to display/hide satellite imagery.
Immediately after initiating Smart Summon in either
mode, hazard lights
briefly flash, mirrors fold, and Model
3 shifts into 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

How Speed Assist Works
Model 3 displays a speed limit on the touchscreen and
you can choose if and how you are warned when you exceed the speed limit. Also, instead of using the detected speed limit, you can base warnings on an arbitrary speed limit that you enter manually.
NOTE: When using Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, you can
touch this speed limit sign to change your set cruising
speed to the detected speed limit (including any
offsets
that you have set).
In situations where Model 3 is unable to determine a
speed limit, or if Speed Assist is uncertain that an acquired speed limit is accurate, the
touchscreen may
not display a speed limit sign and warnings do not take
effect.
NOTE: Speed limit warnings go away after ten seconds,
or when
Model 3 slows down below the specified limit.
WARNING: Do not rely on Speed Assist to
determine the appropriate speed limit or driving
speed. Always drive at a safe speed based on
traffic and road conditions.
Controlling Speed Assist
To adjust the Speed Limit Warning setting, touch
Controls > Autopilot > Speed Limit Warning, then
choose one of these options:

Overview of Climate Controls
Climate controls are available at the bottom of the touchscreen. By default, climate control is set to Auto, which
maintains optimum comfort in all but the most severe weather conditions. When you adjust the cabin temperature
while in the
Auto setting, the system automatically adjusts the heating, air conditioning, air distribution, and fan
speed to maintain the cabin at your selected temperature.
Touch the displayed temperature at the bottom of the touchscreen to access the main climate controls screen, where you can adjust your climate preferences. You can revert back to Auto at any time by touching
Auto. Touch the
power button on the main climate controls screen to toggle on or
off. For quick access to common controls, touch <
or > to display the climate popup.
NOTE: The climate control system is powered by the high voltage Battery. Therefore, prolonged use decreases
driving range.
WARNING: To avoid burns resulting from prolonged use, individuals who have peripheral neuropathy, or whose
capacity to feel pain is limited because of diabetes, age, neurological injury, or some other condition, should
exercise caution when using the climate control system and seat heaters.
Adjusting Climate Control Settings
NOTE: Easily adjust your climate preferences, such as turning on the seat heater or changing the cabin temperature,
hands-free by using voice commands (see
Voice Commands on page 125).
NOTE: For one-touch access to seat heaters and defrosters, you can add these controls to My Apps. See
Customizing My Apps on page 8.
1.
Touch to turn the climate control system on or off.
2.
Touch to adjust the climate settings for the front cabin.
3.
Choose where air flows into the front cabin (windshield, face-level, or foot-level vents). You can choose one or
more vents.
4.
Touch to adjust the climate settings for the rear cabin. If set to Auto, the rear vents turn on automatically when
the front climate system is on and a passenger is detected (see Adjusting the Rear Vents on page 119).

Unpairing a Bluetooth Phone
If you want to disconnect your phone and use it again
later, simply touch
Disconnect on the Bluetooth settings
screen. If you no longer want to use your phone with
Model 3, touch Forget This Device. Once you forget a
device, you must pair it again if you want to use it with
Model 3 (see Pairing a Bluetooth Phone on page 122).
NOTE: Your phone automatically disconnects when you
leave
Model 3.
NOTE: Unpairing the phone has no effect on using the
phone as a key. To forget an authenticated phone, see
Managing Keys on page 13.
Connecting to a Paired Phone
Model 3 automatically connects to a phone that you
designated as
Priority Device on the Bluetooth settings
screen. If you have not set a phone as a priority,
Model 3
connects to the last phone to which is 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 at the top of the
Controls screen. The Bluetooth
settings screen 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 122.
When connected, the Bluetooth settings screen displays the Bluetooth symbol next to the phone

WARNING: Follow all applicable laws regarding the
use of phones while driving, including, but not
limited to, laws that prohibit texting and require
hands-free operation at all times.
In Call Options
When a call is in progress, the call menu displays on the touchscreen. Then roll the right scroll button to choose an option. To adjust the call volume, roll left scroll button during a call.

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
Model 3 connected to a Wi-Fi network whenever
possible (for example, when parked overnight).
To connect to a Wi-Fi network:
1.
Touch Controls > Wi-Fi icon at the top of the
Controls screen. Model 3 begins to scan and display
detected Wi-Fi networks that are within range.
When connected to Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi icon displays at
the top of the touchscreen.
NOTE: If a known Wi-Fi network does not appear in
the list, move
Model 3 closer to the access point or
consider using a range extender.
NOTE: When connecting to a 5GHz network (if
available), check which channels are supported in your region.
5GHz Network Channels Supported36-4852-64100-140149-165FFFF2.
Select the Wi-Fi network you want to use, enter the password (if necessary), then touch
Confirm.
3.
Model 3 connects to the Wi-Fi network. Whenever
the network is within range,
Model 3 connects to it
automatically.
You can also connect to a hidden network that isn
