Creating a Driver Profile
When you first adjust the driver’s seat,
steering wheel, or driver’s side mirror, the
touchscreen prompts you to create a driver
profile to save these adjustments. Your profile
also saves some of the preferences you make
using the touchscreen

Steering Wheel
Scroll Buttons
A scroll button is located on each side of the
steering wheel. Use your thumb to press this
button to the right or left. You can also press
the button or roll it up or down.
1. Use the left scroll button to:

1.On the touchscreen, touch Controls >

Controls > Quick Controls > Mirrors . You can
choose which mirror you would like to adjust
by selecting Left or Right on the touchscreen.
Use the left scroll button on the steering wheel to adjust the mirror to its desired
position:
Note: You can also press the left scroll button
to change which mirror you are adjusting.

3.Turn the interior dome (map) lights on or
off. If set to AUTO, all interior dome lights
turn on when you unlock Model 3, open a
door upon exiting, or shift into Park.
You can also manually turn an individual dome light on or off by pressing its lens. If
you manually turn a dome light on, it turns
off when Model 3 powers off. If Model 3
was already powered off when you
manually turned the light on, it turns off
after 60 minutes.
4. If you turn on AMBIENT LIGHTS, interior
ambient lights turn on whenever the
headlights are on.
Note: To control the backlighting on the
steering wheel buttons, touch Controls >
Lights > Steering Wheel Lights . If off, they
do not turn on when headlights are on.
5. If you turn on Auto High Beam , your
vehicle automatically switches from high
beam headlights to low beam headlights
when light is detected in front of Model 3.
See High Beam Headlights on page 53.
6. If you turn on Headlights after Exit , the
exterior lights remain on for a short period
of time after you stop driving and park Model 3 in low lighting conditions. See
Headlights After Exit on page 54.
7. If you turn on Steering Wheel Lights , the
arrows associated with the scroll buttons
are backlit in low ambient lighting
conditions.

Wipers and Washers
Wipers
To perform a single wipe with the windshield
wipers, press and immediately release the
button on the end of the left-hand steering column lever.
To adjust the continuous wiper settings, touch the windshield wiper icon located in the"Cards" area on the touchscreen (see
Touchscreen Overview on page 4). The wiper
card displays the current state of the wipers.
Note: When you operate the wipers, the
headlights automatically turn on (if they were
not on already).
Caution: To avoid damaging the hood,
ensure that the hood is fully closed before
activating the windshield wipers.
1. Turn the wipers on or off.
2. Adjust the speed of the wipers.

Brakes
Braking Systems
Warning: Properly functioning braking
systems are critical to ensure safety. If you experience a problem with the brake
pedal, brake caliper, or any component of
a Model 3 braking system, contact Tesla
immediately.
Model 3 has an anti-lock braking system (ABS)
that prevents the wheels from locking when
you apply maximum brake pressure. This improves steering control during heavy
braking in most road conditions.
During emergency braking conditions, the
ABS constantly monitors the speed of each
wheel and varies the brake pressure according to the grip available.
The alteration of brake pressure can be felt as
a pulsing sensation through the brake pedal.
This demonstrates that the ABS is operating
and is not a cause for concern. Keep firm and
steady pressure on the brake pedal while
experiencing the pulsing.

Park Assist
How Park Assist Works
Model 3 has several sensors designed to
detect the presence of objects. When driving
slowly in Drive or Reverse (for example, when
parking), the sensors alert you if an object is
detected in close proximity of your Model 3.
Objects are only detected in the direction of
the gear you selected; front objects in Drive,
rear objects in Reverse.
Warning: You may not be alerted if Model
3 rolls freely in the opposite direction of
the gear you selected (for example, you
will not receive an alert if Model 3 rolls
backwards down a hill while in Drive).
The sensors are activated when driving slower
than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Warning: Never depend on Park Assist to
inform you if an area you are approaching is free of objects and/or people. Several
external factors can reduce theperformance of Park Assist, causing
either no readings or false readings (see
Limitations and False Warnings on page
64). Therefore, depending on Park Assist
to determine if Model 3 is approaching an
obstruction can result in damage to the vehicle and/or objects, and can
potentially cause serious injury. Always
inspect the area with your own eyes.
When reversing, perform shoulder checks and use all mirrors. Park assist does not
detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists,
animals, or objects that are moving, protruding, located too far above or
below the sensors, or too close or too far
from the sensors. Park Assist is for
guidance purposes only and is not intended to replace your own direct visual
checks. It is not a substitute for careful
driving.
Visual and Audio Feedback
When you shift to Reverse, the Park Assist
view displays on the touchscreen, showing objects that are in close proximity to the front
and rear of Model 3. This view closes when you shift into Drive unless an object is
detected close to the front of Model 3, in
which case the Park Assist view closes automatically when your driving speed
exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h). When reversing,
visual feedback also displays on the touchscreen, immediately below the camera
view (see Rear View Camera on page 68).
You can manually close the park assist view on
the touchscreen by touching the X in the
upper left corner.
When driving with the Camera app displayed
on the touchscreen, you can switch to the
Park Assist view when driving at speeds below
5 mph (8 km/h). Touch the button located in
the upper left corner of the Camera app
window. This is useful if you need assistance
with parallel parking.
If chimes are turned on (see Controlling
Audible Feedback on page 64), an audible
beep sounds as you approach an object. You
can temporarily mute the chime by pressing
the scroll button on the left side of the
steering wheel or by touching the mute button on the bottom left corner of the Park Assist
view.
Note: If a sensor is unable to provide
feedback, the touchscreen displays an alert
message.

Caution: Keep sensors clean from dirt,
debris, snow, and ice. Avoid using a high
pressure power washer on the sensors
and do not clean a sensor with a sharp or abrasive object that can scratch or
damage its surface.Caution: Do not install accessories or
stickers on or near the parking sensors.
Controlling Audible Feedback
You can use Park Assist with or without
audible feedback. To turn chimes on or off,
touch Controls > Safety & Security > Park
Assist Chimes .
To mute the chimes temporarily, press the
scroll button on the left side of the steering
wheel or touch the mute button in the corner
of the Park Assist view. The chimes are muted
until you shift into a different gear or drive
over 5 mph (8 km/h).
Limitations and False Warnings The parking sensors may not function
correctly in these situations:
