ECO mode TESLA MODEL S 2023 User Guide

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Navigate on
Autopilot, or the feature may not operate exactly as
described.
NOTE: Navigate on Autopilot is a BETA feature.
When using Autosteer on a controlled-access highway (a main highway on which road users enter and exit
using on-ramps and
off-ramps). Navigate on Autopilot
guides
Model S to off-ramps and interchanges based on
your navigation route. Along the highway portion of a navigation route, Navigate on Autopilot also changes
lanes to prepare for exits (route-based lane changes) and to minimize the driving time to your destination (speed-based lane changes).
WARNING: Navigate on Autopilot does not make
driving autonomous. You must pay attention to the
road, keep your hands on the steering yoke (or
steering wheel) at all times, and remain aware of
your navigation route.
WARNING: As is the case with normal driving, be
extra careful around blind corners, interchanges,
and on-ramps and off-ramps - obstacles can
appear quickly and at any time.
WARNING: Navigate on Autopilot may not
recognize or detect oncoming vehicles, stationary
objects, and special-use lanes such as those used
exclusively for bikes, carpools, emergency vehicles,
etc. Remain alert at all times and be prepared to
take immediate action. Failure to do so can cause
damage, injury or death.
Enabling and Customizing Navigate
on Autopilot
To enable Navigate on Autopilot, touch Controls >
Autopilot > Navigate on Autopilot (Beta). Then, to
customize how you want Navigate on Autopilot to operate, touch
Customize Navigate on Autopilot:

Navigate on Autopilot activates and deactivates as appropriate, based on the type of road you are driving on. For example, if Autosteer is active and Navigate on Autopilot is enabled, Navigate on Autopilot
automatically becomes active when you reach a
controlled-access highway on your navigation route.
Whenever Navigate on Autopilot is active, the
instrument panel displays the driving lane as a single
blue line in front of
Model S:
When Navigate on Autopilot is active and you approach an
off-ramp or interchange along your navigation route,
the appropriate turn signal engages and Autosteer maneuvers
Model S onto the off-ramp or interchange.
WARNING: Never depend on Navigate on
Autopilot to determine an appropriate lane at an
off-ramp. Stay alert and perform visual checks to
ensure that the driving lane is safe and
appropriate.
When you leave a controlled-access highway (for example, you take an exit or you enter a section of the navigation route that is no longer supported), Navigate on Autopilot reverts back to Autosteer

NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Traffic Light and
Stop Sign Control, or the feature may not operate
exactly as described.
NOTE: Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control is a BETA
feature and works best on roads that are frequently
driven by Tesla vehicles. Traffic Light and Stop Sign
Control attempts to stop at all traffic lights and may also
stop at green lights.
Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control is designed to
recognize and respond to
traffic lights and stop signs,
slowing
Model S to a stop when using Traffic-Aware
cruise control or Autosteer. This feature uses the
vehicle

How Speed Assist Works
Model S displays a speed limit on the instrument panel
and you can choose if and how you are warned when you exceed the speed limit. Also, instead of using the detected speed limit, you can base warnings on an arbitrary speed limit that you enter manually.
In situations where Model S is unable to determine a
speed limit, or if Speed Assist is uncertain that an acquired speed limit is accurate, the
instrument panel
may not display a speed limit sign and warnings do not take
effect.
NOTE: Speed limit warnings go away after ten seconds,
or when
Model S slows down below the specified limit.
WARNING: Do not rely on Speed Assist to
determine the appropriate speed limit or driving
speed. Always drive at a safe speed based on
traffic and road conditions.
Controlling Speed Assist
To adjust the Speed Limit Warning setting, touch
Controls > Autopilot > Speed Limit Warning, then
choose one of these options:

Your Model S is equipped with a cabin camera located
above the rear view mirror.
The cabin camera can determine driver inattentiveness and provide you with audible alerts, to remind you to keep your eyes on the road when Autopilot is engaged.
By default, images and video from the camera do not
leave the vehicle itself and are not transmitted to
anyone, including Tesla, unless you enable data sharing. If you enable data sharing and a safety critical event
occurs (such as a collision),
Model S shares short cabin
camera video clips with Tesla to help us develop future
safety enhancements and continuously improve the
intelligence of features that rely on the cabin camera.
Data may also be shared if diagnostics are required on cabin camera functionality. Cabin camera does not
perform facial recognition or any other method of identity
verification. To protect your privacy, cabin
camera data is not associated with your vehicle
identification number.
To adjust your data sharing preferences touch Controls >
Software > Data Sharing > Allow Cabin Camera
Analytics. You can change your data sharing settings at
any time.
NOTE: Keep the camera lens clean and free of
obstructions. Remove any buildup of dirt or dust by occasionally wiping the camera lens with a clean cloth.CAUTION: Do not use chemical-based or abrasive
cleaners. Doing so can damage the surface of the
camera lens.

About the Security System
If Model S does not detect a key nearby and a locked
door or trunk is opened, an alarm sounds. The headlights and turn signals also
flash. To deactivate the
alarm, press any button on the key fob.
To manually enable or disable the alarm system, touch
Controls > Safety > Security Alarm. When enabled,
Model S activates its alarm one minute after you exit, the
doors lock, and a recognized key is no longer detected.
A battery-backed siren (if equipped) sounds in situations where a locked door or trunk is opened and
Model S does not detect a key nearby. If you also want
this siren to sound in situations where the vehicle
detects motion inside the cabin, enable Tilt/Intrusion
(see Tilt/Intrusion (if equipped) on page 133).
NOTE: If Model S is in Sentry Mode (see How to Use
Sentry Mode (Camera + App) on page 136), you must
disable Sentry Mode before you can disable the Security
alarm or the Tilt/Intrusion alarm.
Tilt/Intrusion (if equipped)
Depending on configuration, market region, and date of
manufacture, your vehicle may not be equipped with this
feature.
The Security Alarm must be on to enable Tilt/Intrusion.
Tilt/Intrusion sounds the alarm in your vehicle if Model S
detects motion inside the cabin, or is moved or tilted
(for example, with a tow truck or jack). To enable, touch
Controls > Safety > Tilt/Intrusion.
The intrusion sensor automatically disables in situations where the climate control system is operating when you leave your vehicle. To override, you can manually turn the Tilt/Intrusion Sensor on again after choosing Keep
Climate On, Dog, or Camp Mode.
The tilt/intrusion sensor automatically re-enables at the start of every drive cycle.
NOTE: If you plan to leave something that moves inside
your locked vehicle, remember to turn
off Tilt/Intrusion.
If this setting is on, any motion detected inside
Model S
activates the intrusion alarm.
Enhanced Anti-Theft Upgrade (if
equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the Enhanced Anti-Theft upgrade, the horn sounds in situations where a locked door or trunk is opened and
Model S does not detect a
key nearby. If
Tilt/Intrusion is on, the horn also sounds if
Model S detects motion inside the cabin or if the vehicle
is moved or tilted (for example, with a tow truck or jack). To turn the Tilt/Intrusion detection system on or
off,

touch Controls > Safety > Tilt/Intrusion.
PIN to Drive
To increase security, you can prevent Model S from
being driven until a 4-digit PIN (Personal
Identification
Number) is entered. To enable this setting, touch
Controls > Safety > PIN to Drive and follow the on-
screen prompts to create a driving PIN.
When enabled, in addition to entering the 4-digit driving PIN to drive, you must also use it to enter Valet mode for the
first time and create the 4-digit valet PIN to enter
and exit Valet mode. In Valet mode,
Model S can be
driven without the need for the valet to enter a driving PIN. The
PIN to Drive setting is disabled whenever Valet
mode is active.
If you forget your driving PIN, touch the link to enter your Tesla login credentials on the PIN to Drive popup,
then follow the on-screen prompts.
NOTE: In the unlikely event that your touchscreen is
unresponsive, you may be unable to enter the PIN. In this case,
first try to restart the touchscreen (see Restarting
the Touchscreen on page 8). If the touchscreen is still
unresponsive, you can still bypass PIN to Drive by turning on Keyless Driving in the Tesla mobile app.
Glovebox PIN
For additional security, you can protect the contents in your glovebox with a 4-digit PIN. To enable this setting,
touch
Controls > Safety > Glovebox PIN and follow the
on-screen prompts. When enabled, you are prompted to
enter the PIN to open the glovebox. To disable this
setting, select the toggle to disable and then enter the PIN.
If you forget your glovebox PIN, reset it by entering your Tesla login credentials, then follow the on-screen
prompts.
NOTE: Using a Glovebox PIN allows the glovebox to be
opened even when
Model S is in Valet mode.
Speed Limit Mode
Speed Limit Mode allows you to limit acceleration and limit the maximum driving speed to a chosen value
between
50 and 120 mph (80 and 193 km/h). The first
time you use this feature, you must create a 4-digit PIN
that you must use to enable and disable Speed Limit Mode. When enabled and the driving speed approaches within approximately
3 mph (5 km/h) of the maximum
speed, a chime sounds, the
instrument cluster displays a
message, and
Model S sends a notification to the mobile
app. You can also touch
Security > Speed Limit Mode to
enable from the Tesla mobile app. To enable Speed Limit Mode:
1.
Ensure Model S is in Park.
