Shift Using the Touchscreen
When you press the brake pedal when parked, the drive
mode strip displays on one side of the touchscreen. Use the
drive mode strip to shift Model Y: Swipe up for Drive, swipe
down for Reverse, or press the drive mode strip for Park. A
chime sounds whenever you shift gears.
To shift into Neutral, open Controls, then press and hold the
Neutral icon until Model Y engages Neutral.
The touchscreen always shows which gear Model Y is in, but
the drive mode strip is hidden when driving at highway
speeds. To show the drive mode strip at any time, swipe from
the edge of the touchscreen towards the passenger.
NOTE: To shift from Drive into Reverse or vice versa, the
driving speed must be less than 8 km/h.
The touchscreen's drive mode strip displays Park at all times.
To shift into
Park when driving below 8 km/h, touch the
button on the drive mode strip while pressing the brake
pedal. In emergency situations when driving above 8 km/h,
press and hold the Park button to slowly bring the vehicle to
a stop.
The touchscreen is the preferred method to manually shift.
However, in the unlikely situation in which the touchscreen is
unavailable and therefore can't be used, the drive mode
selector on the overhead console automatically activates and
must be used to shift (see Shift Using the Overhead Console
on page 75).
If you try to shift when it is prohibited by the current driving
speed, the touchscreen displays an alert, a chime sounds,
and the drive mode does not change.
Auto Shift from Park
Auto Shift from Park is a BETA feature and is disabled by
default. When disabled, use the touchscreen or the overhead
console to manually shift. To enable Auto Shift from Park,
touch Controls > Dynamics > Auto Shift from Park.
When Auto Shift from Park is enabled, Model Y is designed to
automatically select Drive or Reverse. The touchscreen
displays the selected drive mode when the driver's door is
closed and seat belt is buckled.
To override the selection, press the brake pedal and use the
drive mode strip on touchscreen to shift into your desired
drive mode (Drive, Reverse, Park; see Shift Using the
Touchscreen on page 74).
Confirm the drive mode selection and follow the instructions
on the touchscreen before you press the accelerator.
WARNING: As always, be aware of your vehicle and
surroundings before driving. Never rely on Model Y to
automatically select a suitable drive mode without
confirming the selection before you start to drive.
If Auto Shift from Park is unavailable, the touchscreen
displays a message.
Model Y automatically selects a drive mode when:
• Auto Shift from Park is enabled.
• Model Y is in Park.
•
The driver's seat belt is fastened.
• The brake pedal is pressed.
•
All doors and trunks are closed.
•
The drive mode selector on the overhead console is not
activated (see Shift Using the Overhead Console on page
75).
NOTE: Model Y does not automatically select drive modes in
Valet Mode.
