The Pedestrian Warning System (if equipped)
causes Model 3 to emit sound when driving
below approximately 24 km/h (15 mph) 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 the setting
is turned on (if equipped) and Model 3 is
shifted out of Park, gets louder as speed
increases.
For vehicles manufactured prior to
approximately November 2021: In situations
where you need to turn the sound o (such
as in stop and go highway trac), touch
Controls > Safety > Pedestrian Warning >
Pause. The sound is paused for the current
drive only. On your next drive, the sound
automatically turns back on. The switch may
not be available for vehicles manufactured
after this date.
WARNING: Use the Pause switch to
silence the alarm only when absolutely
necessary and when there are no
other road users in the surrounding
area. You must turn the Pedestrian
Warning System back on immediately
after the circumstances that required
you to turn it o have passed.
The touchscreen displays
this indicator when the
Pedestrian Warning System
has been paused and is
therefore not active.
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. Never pause
the Pedestrian Warning System in
areas where pedestrians may be
present. If the Pedestrian Warning
System is not operating, immediately
contact Tesla.
