Using Voice Commands
You can use voice commands to call a contact,
navigate to a location, listen to Internet music
or control many aspects of your Model S.
Voice commands are designed to understand
natural requests. Tap the voice button on the
upper right side of the steering wheel to
initiate a voice command. When you hear the
tone, speak your command. As you speak, the
instrument panel displays an interpretation of
your command. It also displays tips to remind
you of the type of commands you can speak.
When you finish speaking the command, tap
the voice button again or simply wait.
Note: Voice commands may be spoken in
English or French (Canada).
• To call a contact on your Bluetooth-
connected phone, say “Call” or “Dial”,
followed by the contact’s first and/or last
name(s). For example, “Call Joe” or “Call
Joe Smith”.
• To search for, or navigate to, a location,
say “Where is”, “Drive to”, or “Navigate
to”, followed by an address, business
name, business category, or landmark. For
example, “Where is Stanford University?”,
“Drive to Tesla in Palo Alto”, or “Navigate
to Starbucks on Homestead in Cupertino”.
If you have defined a navigation address
for your home or work locations, you can
use a voice command to navigate there by
saying "Navigate home" or "Navigate to
work".
• To listen to an Internet music service, say
“Listen to” or “Play”, followed by the name
of the song, album, artist, or combination.
To improve voice recognition accuracy,
provide multiple cues in your command,
such as artist plus song (for example,
“Listen to Yellow Brick Road” or “Play
Yellow Brick Road by Elton John”).
• Control various aspects of Model S by
speaking statements or commands. For
example, "Speed up the wipers", "The
screen is too bright", "Turn on the driver's
seat heater", "I'm cold".
Note: Tesla is continuously improving the
ability of Model S to recognize voice
commands. To support these ongoing quality
improvements, Tesla captures short voice
recordings anonymously. To protect your
privacy, these short recordings are not
associated with your personal information or
with your vehicle's identification number. Tesla
assures that it is not possible to search any
system for a recording associated with a
specific customer or vehicle.
Heated Steering Wheel
If Model S is equipped with the optional cold
weather package, you can warm up the
steering wheel by touching climate controls
on the touchscreen (see Climate Controls on
page 128). When turned on, radiant heat
keeps the steering wheel at a comfortable
temperature.
Note: Depending on date of manufacture, your
Model S may not include a heated steering
wheel, even when equipped with the optional
cold weather package.
Horn
To sound the horn, press the center pad on
the steering wheel.
