area being monitored by Forward
Collision Warning can be adversely
affected by road and weather conditions.
Use appropriate caution when driving.Warning: Forward Collision Warning is
designed only to provide visual and
audible alerts. It does not attempt to
apply the brakes or decelerate Model 3.
When seeing and/or hearing a warning, it
is the driver

Obstacle-Aware AccelerationObstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed toreduce the impact of a collision by reducing
motor torque if Model 3 detects an object in
its driving path. For example, Model 3, while
parked in front of a closed garage door with
the Drive gear engaged, detects that you have
pressed hard on the accelerator pedal.
Although Model 3 still accelerates and hits the
garage door, the reduced torque may result in
less damage.
Obstacle-Aware Acceleration is designed to operate only when all of these conditions are
simultaneously met:

Speed Assist
How Speed Assist Works
When the Speed Limit Warning is turned on,
the touchscreen displays a speed limit as determined by GPS data. You can touch this
speed limit sign to automatically change the
set speed to the detected speed limit
(including any offsets that you have set).
Warnings (described later) take effect when
you exceed this limit.
In situations where Speed Assist is unable to
determine a speed limit (for example, speed
limit signs and GPS data are not available at the current location), or if Speed Assist is
uncertain that an acquired speed limit is
accurate (for example, although a speed limit sign was initially detected, some time has
passed before a subsequent sign has been
detected), the touchscreen may not display a
speed limit sign and warnings do not take effect.
If you set the speed limit warning to Display
(see Controlling Speed Assist on page 92)
and exceed the determined speed limit, the
speed limit sign on the touchscreen increases
in size.
If you set the speed limit warning to Chime
(see Controlling Speed Assist on page 92)
and exceed the determined speed limit, the
speed limit sign on the touchscreen increases
in size and Model 3 also sounds a warning
chime.
Note: Speed limit warnings go away after ten
seconds, or when Model 3 slows down below
the specified limit.
Warning:
Do not rely on Speed Assist to
determine the appropriate speed limit ordriving speed. Always drive at a safe
speed based on traffic and road
conditions.
Controlling Speed Assist
To adjust the Speed Limit Warning setting,
touch Controls > Autopilot > Speed Limit
Warning , then choose one of these options:

that may interfere with proper operation
of Speed Assist. Speed Assist may fail to provide warnings for many other reasons.

Using the Touchscreen
Controls
Overview
Touch Controls on the bottom corner of the touchscreen to control features and
customize Model 3 to suit your preferences. The Controls window appears over the map. Touch an option on the left side of the window to display the
associated controls and settings. By default, Quick Controls displays for quicker
access to commonly used settings.To close the Controls window, touch the X in the top left corner, touch Controls
again, or swipe down on the window.When an information icon displays beside a specific setting, touch it to display a
popup that provides helpful details about the associated setting.
Note: The following illustrations are for demonstration purposes only. Depending on vehicle
options, software version and market region, the options available may be different.

Quick
ControlsQuick Controls provides easy access to the following commonly-used
features:

DisplayManually control the brightness and the DAY (light background) or NIGHT
(dark background) setting of the touchscreen. When set to AUTO, the
brightness changes automatically between day and night brightness based
on ambient lighting conditions.
Brightness : Drag the slider to manually control the brightness level of the
touchscreen. When Auto brightness is on, the touchscreen is further
adjusted based on both the surroundings and by learning your preferences
(for example, it remembers the type of manual adjustments you make).
Screen Clean Mode : Disable the touchscreen momentarily for cleaning
purposes.
Customize how units are displayed:

DrivingAcceleration: Adjust the amount of acceleration. Chill limits acceleration for
a slightly smoother and gentler ride, whereas Standard provides the normal
level of acceleration.
Note: When Chill is selected, Chill displays on the touchscreen above the
driving speed.
Steering Mode : Adjust the amount of effort required to turn the steering
wheel. Sport feels more responsive whereas Comfort feels easier to drive
and park (see Adjusting Steering Effort on page 46).
Regenerative Braking : When you release the accelerator when driving,
regenerative braking slows Model 3 and feeds any surplus energy back to
the Battery. If set to LOW, Model 3 does not slow down as quickly, but also
feeds less energy back to the Battery (see Regenerative Braking on page
60).
Note: Regardless of the setting selected, the energy gained by regenerative
braking is reduced if the Battery is full, or is extremely cold or hot (in which
case, surplus energy is used to heat or cool it).
Traction Control : Turn slip start on to allow wheels to spin (see Traction
Control on page 62).
Creep : When on, Model 3 applies forward torque in Drive and backwards
torque in Reverse when you release the brake pedal (similar to a
conventional vehicle with an automatic transmission). The torque moves the
vehicle slowly on

AutopilotControl the features that provide a safer and more convenient driving
experience (see About Autopilot on page 70).

Safety &
SecurityYou can manually apply and release the parking brake (see Parking Brake on
page 61), limit the acceleration and max speed (see Speed Limit Mode on
page 100), and power off the vehicle (see Powering Off on page 49). You
can also turn the following settings on or off:
