Adjusting Exterior Mirrors
Adjust the exterior mirrors by touching Controls >
Mirrors. Press the left scroll button on the steering yoke
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 S 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. You can adjust the position of the
mirrors only when you are in Reverse.
Mirror Auto Fold
Both exterior mirrors can automatically fold inward
whenever you exit and lock
Model S. When you unlock
Model S, 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 31
mph (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 49.
NOTE:
If you expect ice to accumulate when Model S 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
79 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.
Folding Mirrors at Specific
Locations
In addition to having mirrors fold automatically
whenever you park
Model S, you can fold (and unfold)
mirrors anytime your driving speed is less than 31 mph
(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 S 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.
CAUTION:
Mirrors may not automatically fold if
you return to a saved location driving faster than 3
mph (5 km/h).
NOTE: When you leave the saved location, mirrors
remain folded until your driving speed reaches 31 mph
(50 km/h), or until you touch Controls > Unfold Mirrors.
When driving at or above this speed threshold, you can
not fold mirrors.
NOTE: You can also 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.
You can integrate auto-folding mirrors with HomeLink
(see HomeLink Universal Transceiver on page 154). To
do so, touch the
HomeLink icon on the top of the
Controls screen and enable Auto-Fold Mirrors when
Nearby.
