Shift Using the Overhead Console
In addition to manually shifting on the touchscreen, you can
shift by pressing P, R, N or D located on the overhead
console. In most situations, these buttons are not available
until you press the brake and touch one of the buttons to
activate it. When active, the LEDs associated with each
button illuminate and when you select P, R, N or D, the
associated LED illuminates amber.
In situations where the touchscreen is unavailable (for
example, experiencing a technical issue), or Model Y is in
Valet or Tow Mode, the drive mode selector on the overhead
console activates automatically and there is no need to touch
it.
NOTE: You can also activate the drive mode selector on the
overhead console by simultaneously and briefly pressing
both scroll buttons on the
steering wheel. However, if you
press and hold both buttons simultaneously, the drive mode
selector activates and the touchscreen restarts (see
Restarting the Touchscreen on page 9).
NOTE: The front trunk must be closed to shift using the
overhead console.
1. Park
2. Reverse
3. Neutral
4. Drive
NOTE: When the touchscreen is available for shifting and you
have manually activated the drive mode selector on the
overhead console, the overhead console automatically
deactivates if you don't shift within one minute.
Auto Shift (Beta)
NOTE: Auto Shift is a Beta feature and is disabled by default.
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle configuration,
options purchased, and software version, your vehicle may
not be equipped with Auto Shift (Beta) or the features may
not operate exactly as described.
Auto Shift
(Beta) can shift between Drive and Reverse, or out
of Park, to assist with actions such as turns, parking, or
reversing out of a parking spot. To enable, touch Controls >
Pedals & Steering > Auto Shift (Beta), where you can select
between On or from Park.
When On, Auto Shift (Beta) lets you shift without using the
touchscreen based on your surroundings. This assists with
multi-point turns, reversing out of a parking spot, parallel
parking, and similar driving maneuvers. When the vehicle
assists with shifting, a readiness indicator appears on the
touchscreen .
With from Park, Model Y is designed to select Drive or
Reverse when shifting out of Park (such as pulling out of a
parking spot).
Model Y selects a drive mode when:
•
Auto Shift (Beta) is enabled.
•
Model Y is in Park (for from Park) or in Drive or Reverse
(for On).
•
The driver's seat belt is fastened.
•
The brake pedal is pressed.
• All doors and trunks are closed.
• The drive mode selector on the center console is not
activated.
Auto Shift (Beta) is designed to enhance your driving
experience and may only appear in certain circumstances,
such as requiring a vehicle or object in the front and/or rear
to begin the maneuver. Confirm the drive mode selection and
follow the instructions on the
touchscreen before you press
the accelerator.
To override the selection, press the brake pedal and use the
drive mode strip on the touchscreen to manually shift into
your desired Drive Mode. Once you override, you’ll need to
shift gears again for Auto Shift (Beta) to reappear. If Auto
Shift (Beta) is unavailable, the touchscreen displays a
message.
NOTE: Model Y does not allow Auto Shift (Beta) in certain
modes and driving situations, including but not limited to:
Valet Mode, Track Mode, Creep, Trailer Mode, etc.
WARNING: Never rely on Auto Shift (Beta) without
confirming the selection before proceeding. Always
remain attentive, monitor your surroundings, and
maneuver safely.
Park
To manually shift into Park, press the brake pedal and touch
the Park button on the touchscreen's drive mode strip. If the
touchscreen is unavailable, press Park on the drive mode
selector located on the overhead console.
