here, you can display the percentage of battery energy remaining. To do so, touch Controls >
Settings > Units & Format > Energy & Charging (see Settings on page 77).
Note: When anticipating when you need to charge, use range estimates as a general guideline
only.
Note: In cold weather, some of the stored energy in the Battery may not be available on your
drive because the Battery is too cold. When this happens, a portion of the Battery meter is
blue and the driving distance value has a snowflake image next to it. If Model S is plugged in,
you can heat your Battery using wall power by turning on climate control using the mobile
app. When the Battery warms up, the blue portion on the meter and the snowflake image are

Bluetooth®
Compatibility
You can use your Bluetooth-capable phone
hands-free in Model S provided your phone is within operating range. Although Bluetooth
typically supports wireless communication
over distances of up to approximately 30 feet
(9 meters), performance can vary based on
the phone you are using.
Before using your phone with Model S, you
must pair it. Pairing sets up Model S to work
with your Bluetooth-capable phone (see Pairing a Bluetooth Phone on page 88).
You can pair up to ten Bluetooth phones.
Model S always automatically connects to the
last phone that was used (provided it is within
range). If you want to connect to a different phone, see Connecting to a Paired Phone on
page 89.
Note: On many phones, Bluetooth turns off if
the phone’s battery is low.
Note: In addition to phones, you can also pair
Bluetooth-enabled devices with Model S. For example, you can pair an iPod Touch or an
iPad or Android tablet to stream music.
Pairing a Bluetooth Phone
Pairing sets up Model S to work with your
Bluetooth-capable phone. Once a phone is paired, Model S can connect to it wheneverthe phone is within range.
To pair a phone, follow these steps while

5. On the Model S touchscreen, touch the
phone with which you want to pair. Within
a few seconds, the touchscreen displays a
randomly generated number, and your
phone should display the same number.
6. Check that the number displayed on your
phone matches the number displayed on
the touchscreen. Then, on your phone,
confirm that you want to pair.When paired, Model S automatically connects to the phone, and the touchscreen displays
the Bluetooth symbol next to the phone’s name to show that the connection is active.
Importing Contacts
Once paired, you can use the Bluetooth
settings screen to specify whether you want
to allow access to your phone’s contacts and recent calls.
If access is turned on, you can see your list of contacts on the Model S touchscreen. Touch
Phone > Contacts . You can then touch a
contact to dial its phone number or navigate
to its address.
Note: Before contacts can be imported, you
may need to either set your phone to allow syncing, or respond to a popup on your phone
to confirm that it is OK to sync contacts. This
varies depending on the type of phone you are using. For details, refer to the owner
documentation provided with your phone.
If access is turned on, imported information is
displayed when you touch the contacts tab on
the Phone app.
Unpairing a Bluetooth Phone
If you want to disconnect your phone and use it again later, simply touch Disconnect on the
Bluetooth settings screen. If you do not want
to use your phone with Model S again, touch

OverviewNote: Calendar is a BETA feature in Release 6.0.
The Calendar app allows you to view your phone’s (iPhone or Android) calendar for the current and next day. The Calendar app requires that:
• The Tesla Model S mobile app is running and you are logged in. When prompted on your phone, you must grant calendar access to the mobile app. The mobile app can then
periodically (and automatically) send calendar data from your phone to Model S. Also,
whenever you display the mobile app on your phone, updated calendar data is sent to
Model S.
• Your phone is connected to Model S via Bluetooth (for privacy reasons, calendar data displays only from a phone that is connected via Bluetooth).
• Remote access to Model S is turned on (touch Controls > Settings > Safety & Security >
Remote Access > On ).
• Both your phone and Model S have good connectivity.
When you enter Model S, the touchscreen can display a reminder of the day's events. You can
customize if and when your calendar events are displayed by touching Controls > Settings >
Apps > Calendar > Show Calendar Upon Entry .
To view scheduled events for the next 48 hours, choose the Calendar app from the main
touchscreen window. The Calendar app displays events in chronological order.
1. If the calendar event includes an address, a navigation arrow displays to indicate that you can
touch the address to navigate to the event's location (if your Model S is equipped with the
Navigation option).
2. If the calendar event includes a phone number, you can touch the number to initiate a phone
call.
3. In situations where events are displayed from multiple calendars, you can filter to show only
events from one or more specific calendars.
4. If the calendar event has notes associated with it, touch the information icon to display the
notes in a pop up window.
