Keeping Your Vehicle in Neutral
(Tow Mode)
Model S automatically shifts into Park
whenever you
finish driving and leave
Model S. To keep Model S in Neutral when you
exit, allowing it to roll freely (for example,
pulling onto a transporter, etc.), activate Tow
mode:
1. Shift into Park.
2. Press the brake pedal.
3.
Touch Controls > Service > Tow Mode.
Model S beeps, and shifts into Neutral (which
releases the parking brake).
When Tow mode is active,
Model S displays this
indicator light on the
instrument panel, along
with a message telling you
that Model S will roll
freely.
NOTE: In Tow mode, Model S does not shift
into a driving gear. To cancel Tow mode, shift
into Park or touch Tow mode again. Tow
mode also cancels if you use the touchscreen
to apply the parking brake (
Controls > Safety
& Security > Parking Brake).
