Adjusting Exterior Mirrors
Press the button associated with the mirror you want to
adjust (left or right). The button's light turns on and you
can then press the dial to move the mirror to the desired
position. Repeat for the other side mirror. If prompted,
touch
Save on the touchscreen to save the mirror
adjustment in your driver profile.
To fold and unfold exterior mirrors, press the center
button. You can set the mirrors to fold automatically
whenever Model S is locked by touching Controls >
Vehicle > Mirror Auto-Fold. The mirrors unfold
automatically whenever you unlock
Model S.
When you use the center button to fold the mirrors in
for parking in a tight space, the mirrors remain folded in
until your driving speed reaches
31 mph (50 km/h), or
until you use the center button to unfold the mirrors.
NOTE: You can override the automatic folding/unfolding
of mirrors at any time (for example, Model S has no
power) by pushing the mirror assembly away from you
to unfold, or pulling it toward you to fold.
NOTE: You cannot fold a mirror if driving above 31 mph
(50 km/h).
The driver’s side mirror automatically dims at night, in
proportion to the level of glare from the headlights of a
vehicle behind you (except when in Reverse). Also, both
exterior side mirrors have heaters that turn on and
o
with the rear window defroster.
NOTE: Depending on date of manufacture and options
selected at time of purchase, some Model S vehicles are
not equipped with a side mirror that automatically dims
at night and may not include heated side mirrors. In
addition, mirror adjustments may not be saved to your
driver
profile.
NOTE: See Cold Weather Best Practices on page 72
for information to ensure your mirrors function properly
in cold weather.
Auto-Fold Mirrors Based on Location
Model S 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 S must be driving at a low speed (less
than 3 mph/5 kph) or stopped at the location you want
your vehicle to remember. Go to Controls > Vehicle >
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
146). 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 kph.
Mirror Auto-tilt When Reversing
Both exterior mirrors can automatically tilt downward
when backing up. To adjust the auto-tilt position, shift
into Reverse, then adjust the mirrors (press the button
associated with the mirror you want to adjust, then press
the dial to move the mirror to the desired position).
When you shift into another drive mode, the mirrors tilt
back to their normal (upward) position. But now that
you have adjusted them for backing up, they
automatically tilt to the selected downward position
whenever you shift into Reverse.
You can turn the auto-tilt feature on or o using the
touchscreen, Touch Controls > Vehicle > Mirror Auto-
Tilt.
NOTE: Depending on date of manufacture and options
selected at time of purchase, some Model S vehicles are
not equipped with Mirror Auto-Tilt.
