Note: Regardless of the setting you choose,
Adaptive Suspension Damping adjusts the
suspension system in real time to optimize both ride and handling.
Note: Available settings depend on your
driving speed and other conditions. For
example, the suspension does not lower if a
door is open.
Note: Your chosen Suspension Lowering and
Adaptive Suspension Damping settings are
saved to your driver profile (see Driver Profiles
on page 42).
Auto-Raising Suspension Auto-raising suspension saves you from
manually having to raise the suspension every
time you arrive at a frequently-used location
where you have previously raised the
suspension. Whenever you raise the
suspension to HIGH or VERY HIGH , Model S
saves the location. When you return to the saved location, Model S raises the suspension
and the instrument panel displays this
message:
Note: When returning to a saved location and
driving faster than the High and Very High
suspension settings allow, the suspension
does not raise until Model S slows down.
Note: After leaving a saved location, the
suspension may not lower until you are driving
faster than the speed threshold at which the
suspension lowers.
Note: If Model S reaches a saved location and
the existing suspension setting is already
higher than the level that has been saved for
that location, the ride height is not adjusted.
To remove an auto-raising location
If you do not want the suspension to auto-
raise at a saved location, touch the X in the
auto-raising location status message that
displays at a saved location. Doing so removes
the auto-raise location and the suspension no
longer raises automatically when you arrive at
the location.
Note: Manually lowering the suspension to
STANDARD or LOW while at a saved location
also removes the auto-raising location.
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 >
Suspension > Jack .
To deactivate, touch Jack again.
Note: Jack mode automatically cancels when
you drive over 4 mph (7 km/h).
Note: Model S also sets Jack mode
automatically if it detects that the vehicle
cannot lower to its target height, or if it
detects that an object is supporting the
vehicle
