• Choose Neutral from the drive mode selector on the
center console.
NOTE: When Model S is traveling over 5 mph (8 km/h)
and you swipe up or down on the touchscreen's drive
mode strip, a Neutral icon displays at the bottom of the
drive mode strip from which you can also choose to
engage Neutral.
NOTE: You must press the brake pedal to shift out of
Neutral if
Model S is moving slower than approximately
5 mph (8 km/h).
Model S automatically shifts into Park when you open
the driver's door to exit the vehicle. To stay in Neutral
even when you leave Model S, you must engage
Transport Mode (described next).
Keeping Your Vehicle in Neutral
(Transport Mode)
Model S automatically shifts into Park whenever you
finish driving and leave Model S. To keep Model S in
Neutral when you exit, allowing it to roll freely (for
example, pulling onto a
flatbed truck), you must activate
Transport mode:
1.
Shift into Park.
2.
Press the brake pedal.
3.
Touch Controls > Service > Towing. The touchscreen
displays a message reminding you how to properly
transport Model S.
4.
Press and hold the Transport Mode button until it
turns blue. Model S is now free-rolling and can slowly
be rolled (no faster than walking speed) for short
distances or winched (for example, onto a flatbed
truck).
For more information on Transport Mode, see Activate
Transport Mode on page 202.
NOTE: In Transport mode, Model S does not shift into a
drive mode. You must first cancel Transport mode by
touching Transport Mode again. Transport mode also
cancels if you use the touchscreen or drive mode
selector on the center console to shift into Park or if you
manually apply the parking brake by touching
Controls
