Customizing Display and Sound Settings
Touch Controls > Display to adjust display settings to suit
your preferences:
•
Appearance: Customize the display to be Dark or Light.
When set to Auto, the brightness changes automatically
based on ambient lighting conditions.
• Reduce Blue Light: When enabled, the display
automatically adjusts to use warmer colors at night.
• Brightness: Drag the slider to manually control the
brightness level. If
Display Mode is set to Auto, the
touchscreen further adjusts based on both the ambient
lighting conditions and your brightness preference. Model
Y remembers your chosen brightness preference and
adjusts the touchscreen accordingly.
•
Screen Clean Mode: When enabled, your touchscreen
darkens and temporarily disables to facilitate cleaning.
Follow the onscreen instructions to exit Screen Clean
Mode.

(kilometers, centimeters, etc.) or imperial (miles, inches,
etc.) units.

Naming your Vehicle
To further personalize your vehicle, you can name it. Touch

Erasing Personal Data with a Factory
Reset
When transferring ownership of Model Y, perform a factory
reset for security purposes before removing your vehicle
from your account by touching Controls > Service > Factory
Reset. Before erasing data, Model Y verifies your credentials
by prompting you to enter the user name and password
associated with your Tesla account.
NOTE: Performing a factory reset is only possible when the
vehicle is in your account. After the vehicle is removed from
your account, you no longer have access to perform a reset
of customized settings to the factory defaults and to erase all
personal data.
