Auto-Fold Mirrors Based on Location
Model 3 can automatically fold and unfold the side
mirrors based on location, which saves you from having
to manually position them each time you need to fold
or unfold the mirrors when at a frequented place (such
as narrow garages, tight parking spaces, etc.).
To set up, Model 3 must be driving at a low speed (less
than 3 mph (5 km/h)) or stopped at the location you
want your vehicle to remember. Go to
Controls > Quick
Controls > Mirrors > Always Fold Mirrors at this
Location. Next time you approach the saved location,
your mirrors fold and unfold within 25 feet (7.5 meters)
of the specified location.
You can also integrate auto-folding mirrors with
HomeLink (see
HomeLink Universal Transceiver on
page 145). To enable, go to HomeLink > Auto-Fold
Mirrors when Nearby.
CAUTION:
Mirrors may not automatically fold or
unfold if you return to a saved location and are
driving faster than 3 mph (5 km/h).
Mirror Auto Tilt
Both exterior mirrors can automatically tilt downward
when Model 3 is shifted into Reverse. When you shift
back into Drive, the mirrors return to their normal
(upward) position.
To turn this feature on or o, touch Controls > Quick
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 > Quick
Controls > Mirrors > Mirror Auto Fold.
Rear View Mirror
The rear view mirror is adjusted manually. When in the
Drive or Neutral gear, the rear view mirror automatically
dims in low lighting conditions (for example, when
driving at night or through a tunnel).
Vanity Mirrors

visor downwards, then use the tab to lower the mirror
