Controlling the Passenger Front Airbag
Model S has an occupancy sensor in the front passenger seat that controls the status of the
front airbag.
NOTE: The occupancy classification system (OCS) meets the regulatory requirement of
FMVSS 208 and automatically detects when inflating the passenger front airbag would be
unnecessary or potentially harmful.
WARNING: Seating an infant in a rear facing child safety seat on a seat equipped with an operational airbag can cause serious injury or death.Object ClassificationOCS Passenger

NOTE: It takes approximately six seconds after you power on Model S for the occupant classification system (OCS) to report accurate status of the front passenger airbag. As a result,
when you first power on Model S, even in situations when it should be OFF because the seat is
occupied by a weight of 20 lbs (9 kg) or less, a delay of approximately six seconds can occur
before the touchscreen displays the PASS AIRBAG OFF status. If it fails to do so, contact Tesla
Service and do not seat a child in the front passenger seating position.
To make sure the sensing system can correctly detect occupancy status, eliminate the following:

WARNING: If the front passenger airbag is not turning on or off as expected, do not seat a passenger in the front passenger seat. Contact Tesla Service.
WARNING: To ensure accuracy of the occupant detection system, do not make any modifications to the front passenger seat.
WARNING: Do not use seat covers on Model S. Doing so could restrict deployment of the seat-mounted side air bags if a collision occurs. It can also reduce the accuracy of the occupant classification system.

Incorrect Seating Positions

WARNING: Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you and be aware of hazardous driving conditions. While the ABS can improve stopping distance, it cannot overcome the laws of physics. It also does not prevent the danger of hydroplaning (where a layer of water prevents direct contact between the tires and the road).
NOTE: Automatic Emergency Braking (see Automatic Emergency Braking on page 123)
may intervene to automatically brake in
situations where a collision is considered
imminent. Automatic Emergency Braking is
not designed to prevent a collision. At best, it
can minimize the impact of a frontal collision
by attempting to reduce your driving speed.
Depending on Automatic Emergency Braking
to avoid a collision can result in serious injury or death. .
Brake Disc Wiping
To ensure brakes remain responsive in cold
and wet weather, Model S is equipped with
brake disc wiping. When cold and wet
weather is detected, this feature repeatedly
applies an imperceptible amount of brake
force to remove water from the surface of the
brake discs.
Hydraulic Fade Compensation
Model S is also equipped with hydraulic fade
compensation. This feature assists in
monitoring brake system pressure and ABS
activity for instances of reduced brake
performance. If reduced brake performance is detected (for example, as a result of brake
fade, or cold or wet conditions), you may hear
a sound, feel the brake pedal pull away from
your foot, and notice a strong increase in
braking. Brake as you normally would and
continue to press the brake pedal without
releasing or "pumping".
CAUTION: If brakes are not functioning properly, stop the vehicle when safety permits and contact Tesla Service.
WARNING: Always maintain a safe driving distance from the vehicle in front of you and exercise caution when driving conditions are hazardous. Brake disc wiping and hydraulic fade compensation is not a substitute for adequately applying the brakes.
Hydraulic Boost Compensation
Model S is equipped with a brake booster that
activates the brakes when the brake pedal is pressed. Hydraulic boost compensation
provides mechanical assistance if the brake
booster fails. If a brake booster failure is
detected, the brake pedal feels
stiffer to press
and you may hear sound when you press the
brake pedal. To stop
Model S, apply steady
force to the brake pedal without releasing or
pumping. Drive cautiously and maintain a safe
distance from other road users

How It Works
The traction control system constantly
monitors the speed of the front and rear
wheels. If
Model S experiences a loss of
traction, the system minimizes wheel spin by
controlling brake pressure and motor power.
By default, the traction control system is on.
Under normal conditions, it should remain on
to ensure maximum safety.
This yellow indicator flashes
on the instrument panel whenever the traction
control system is actively
controlling brake pressure
and motor power to
minimize wheel spin. If the
indicator stays on, a fault is
detected with the traction
control system. Contact
Tesla Service.
WARNING: Traction control cannot prevent collisions caused by driving dangerously or turning too sharply at high speeds.
Allowing Wheel Slip
To allow the wheels to spin at a limited speed,
you can enable Slip Start. Slip Start can be enabled only when Model S is moving 30 mph (48 km/h) or slower. Slip Start automatically disables when the speed exceeds 50 mph (80 km/h).
Under normal conditions, Slip Start should
not be enabled. Enable it only in
circumstances where you deliberately want
the wheels to spin, such as:

To change or delete the address associated
with Home or Work, press and hold the
shortcut icon and in the popup window, enter
a new address and touch
Save as Home or Save as Work, or touch Clear Home or Clear Work.
NOTE: Based on your usage patterns, Model S may prompt you to save a location as Home
or Work.
NOTE: Once a Home or Work location is
saved, Model S may prompt you to navigate
to your Work location in the mornings and to
your Home location in the evenings and
provide an estimated driving time based on
current
traffic conditions.
For security reasons, if you sell Model S, it is
recommended that you delete your Home
and Work locations. You can delete these individually or you can perform a factory
reset to erase all personal data (touch
Controls > Service > Factory Reset).

Touch Show Suspension Data to display
detailed information about the dampers for
each wheel, including ride height,
compression and rebound values, and body accelerations.
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, you can
touch Always Auto-Raise at This Location to
save the location. When you return to the
saved location,
Model S raises the suspension
and the instrument panel displays a message
indicating that the suspension is being raised.
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 automatically lowers. However, it
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.
Self-Leveling
Model S equipped with air suspension
automatically self-levels, even when power is
off. To prevent damage when jacking or lifting
the vehicle, you must activate Jack mode to
disable self-leveling (press the brake pedal
and touch
Controls > Service > Jack Mode).
For more details, see Jack Mode on page 201.
