Adjusting Exterior Mirrors
Adjust the exterior mirrors by touching
Controls > Mirrors. Press the left scroll button
on the steering wheel to choose whether you
are adjusting the Left or Right mirror. Then
use the left scroll button as follows to adjust
the selected mirror to its desired position:
• To move the mirror up or down, roll the
left scroll button up or down.
• To move the mirror inward or outward,
press the left scroll button to the left or
right.
NOTE: Both exterior mirrors have heaters that
turn on and o with the rear window
defroster.
Mirror Auto Tilt
Both exterior mirrors can automatically tilt
downward when Model 3 is shifted into
Reverse. When you shift back into another
drive mode, the mirrors return to their normal
upward position.
To turn this feature on or o, touch Controls >
Mirrors > Mirror Auto Tilt.
Mirror Auto Fold
Both exterior mirrors can automatically fold
inward whenever you exit and lock Model 3.
When you unlock Model 3, the exterior
mirrors then automatically unfold.
To turn this feature on or o, touch Controls >
Mirrors > Mirror Auto Fold.
Mirrors remain folded until your driving speed
reaches
50 km/h, or until you touch Controls
> Unfold Mirrors. You can also fold/unfold
mirrors manually, or fold mirrors automatically
at
specific locations. See Folding Mirrors at
Specific Locations on page 54.
NOTE: If you expect ice to accumulate when
Model 3 is parked, turn o Mirror Auto Fold.
Accumulation of ice can prevent exterior side
mirrors from folding or unfolding. See Cold
Weather Best Practices on page 88 for
information on how to ensure your mirrors
function properly in cold weather.
Mirror Auto Dim
When certain environmental conditions are
met, the rear view mirror and exterior side
mirrors dim automatically (for example, in low
light conditions or to reduce glare when
driving at night). To enable or disable this
feature, touch
Controls > Mirrors > Mirror
Auto Dim.
Availability of this feature depends on market
region and date of manufacture.
Folding Mirrors at Specific
Locations
In addition to having mirrors fold
automatically whenever you park
Model 3,
you can fold (and unfold) mirrors anytime
your driving speed is less than
50 km/h. This
is useful for parking in tight spaces. To do so,
touch Controls > Fold Mirrors.
When you fold mirrors, a Location Saved
popup briefly displays below the Fold Mirrors
control. When Location Saved is enabled,
mirrors automatically fold whenever you
approach the location, saving you from
having to manually fold them each time you
arrive at a frequently visited location (such as
narrow garages, tight parking spaces, etc.). If
you do not want the location saved, simply
touch
Location Saved to disable it. This
popup toggles between Location Saved and
Save Location to allow you to specify
whether or not you want mirrors to
automatically fold as you approach your
current location.
NOTE: To save or unsave a location at which
the mirrors fold, Model 3 must be driving at a
low speed (less than
5 km/h) or stopped at
the location you want your vehicle to
remember.
CAUTION:
Mirrors may not
automatically fold if you return to a
saved location driving faster than
5 km/h.
NOTE: When you leave the saved location,
mirrors remain folded until your driving speed
reaches
50 km/h, or until you touch Controls
> Unfold Mirrors. When driving at or above
this speed threshold, you can not fold mirrors.
