Active Air Suspension
USING THE TOUCHSCREEN5.11
Active A ir SuspensionAutomatic Height Adjustments
If Model S is equipped with Active Air
Suspension, the system adjusts the height
based on driving speed. It also maintains a level
height between the front and rear when
carrying loads.
NOTE: When Model S starts, you might hear the
sound of a compressor as the system’s
reservoir fills with air.
If Model S is moving, Active Air Suspension
adjusts height as follows:
•Whenever you drive between 90 and 115
km/h, the suspension lowers to Low to
improve aerodynamics and handling. When
your driving slows to less than 65 km/h, the
suspension raises back to Standard.
•Whenever you drive over 115 km/h, the
suspension immediately lowers to Low.
•Whenever you drive at a speed less than
40 km/h, the suspension immediately
raises to Standard.
•If you set the suspension to Low, then drive
over 7 km/h, the suspension reverts to
Standard.
•If you set the suspension to Very High, then
drive over 15 km/h, the suspension lowers
to High.
•If you set the suspension to High, then drive
over 30 km/h, the suspension lowers to
Standard.
After driving, the height of the suspension
periodically levels, even when Model S is
powered off.
If a fault is detected with the air
suspension system, a yellow indicator
displays on the instrument panel. If the
problem persists, contact Tesla.
Manual Height Adjustments
CAUTION: Before adjusting the
suspension height, ensure Model S is
clear of all obstacles above and below.
Use the touchscreen to manually change the
height of Model S. Press the brake pedal and
touch Controls. Then choose from:
•Very High - The suspension raises 33 mm
above its normal height. Useful for extra
ground clearance (ramps, speed bumps,
etc).•High - The suspension raises 23 mm above
its normal height. Useful for extra ground
clearance (ramps, speed bumps, etc).
•Standard - The default height. This setting
ensures optimum comfort and handling
under all loading conditions.
•Low - The suspension lowers 20 mm below
its normal height. Useful for loading or
unloading cargo and passengers.
NOTE: Available settings depend on your
driving speed and other conditions. For
example, the suspension does not lower if a
door is open.
Jack Mode
Before jacking or lifting, set the suspension to
Jack mode to prevent the self-leveling that
occurs even when Model S is powered off.
Press the brake pedal, then touch
Controls > Jack.
When Model S is in Jack mode, a red air
suspension indicator displays on the
instrument panel.
To deactivate, touch Jack again.
NOTE: Jack mode automatically cancels when
you drive over 7 km/h.
