When Model 3 is stopped, Vehicle Hold can continue to
apply the brakes even after you remove your foot from
the brake pedal. When driving on a hill or on a flat
surface, brake as you normally would. After coming to a
complete stop, simply press the brake pedal again (until
the
touchscreen displays the Vehicle Hold indicator
light) to enable Vehicle Hold. You can then release the
brake pedal and remain stopped, even on a hill.
This indicator displays on the
touchscreen whenever Vehicle Hold is
actively braking Model 3.
To disengage Vehicle Hold, press the accelerator pedal
or press and release the brake pedal.
NOTE: Shifting into Neutral also disengages Vehicle
Hold.
NOTE: After actively braking Model 3 for approximately
ten minutes, Model 3 shifts into Park and Vehicle Hold
cancels. Model 3 also shifts into Park if it detects that
the driver has left the vehicle.
NOTE: When Stopping Mode is set to Hold (see
Stopping Mode on page 62), Vehicle Hold engages
automatically whenever Model 3 stops while in a driving
gear. There is no need to press the brake to engage it.
