Overview
The touchscreen displays the status of Model Y at all times.
What you see depends on whether the vehicle is:
•
Parked (shown below).
• Driving (see Driving Status on page 15).
•
Charging (see Charging Status on page 160).
When Model Y is parked, the status area shows the drive
mode, estimated range, and an overhead view of the car with
buttons you can touch to open the trunks and charge port
door. When you press the brake, Model Y powers up and
indicator lights flash briefly. Unless an indicator light applies
to the current situation (for example, a seat belt is not
fastened), it should turn off. If an indicator light fails to turn
on or off, contact Tesla.
NOTE: The following image is provided for demonstration
purposes only. Depending on vehicle options, software
version, and market region, the information displayed may be
slightly different.
Cards
The bottom of the car status display also shows shortcut
"cards" for quick access to Media, tire pressure data, trip
information, and more. Swipe the cards to the left or right to
customize your cards shortcuts.
Indicator Lights
The following indicator lights illuminate to advise you or alert
you of a specific status or condition.
If the touchscreen displays this red brake
indicator at any time other than briefly when
you first start
Model Y, a brake system fault is
detected, or the level of the brake fluid is low.
Contact Tesla immediately. Apply steady
pressure and keep the brake pedal firmly
pressed to stop the vehicle when safe to do so.
The touchscreen displays this amber brake
indicator if a brake booster fault is detected.
Apply steady pressure and keep the brake
pedal firmly pressed to stop the vehicle when
safe to do so. Hydraulic Boost Compensation
will be active (see
Braking and Stopping on
page 81).
The ABS indicator briefly flashes amber on the
touchscreen when you first start
Model Y. If
this indicator lights up at any other time, an
ABS fault has occurred and the ABS is not
operating. Contact Tesla. The braking system
remains fully operational and is not affected by
an ABS failure. However, braking distances
may increase. Drive cautiously and avoid heavy
braking.
When you manually apply the parking brake
using the touchscreen, the red parking brake
indicator lights up on the touchscreen.
If the parking brake experiences an electrical
issue, the amber parking brake indicator lights
up and a fault message displays on the
touchscreen.
NOTE: Depending on location of manufacture, vehicles in
Mexico may show either the text or icon of the brake, ABS,
and park indicator lights.
Tire pressure warning. The pressure of a
tire is out of range. If a fault with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is
detected, the indicator flashes. For a
TPMS fault, contact Tesla. See Tire Care
and Maintenance on page 173.
