Making A Phone Call - Tesla S Owner's Manual

Phone
Connecting to a Paired Phone
Model S automatically connects with the last
phone to which it was connected, provided it
is within operating range and has Bluetooth
turned on. If the last phone is not within range,
it attempts to connect with the next phone
that it has been paired with.
To connect to a different phone, touch the
Bluetooth icon on the touchscreen's status
bar. The Bluetooth window displays a list of
paired phones. Choose the phone you want to
connect to, then touch Connect. If the phone
you want to connect to is not listed, follow the
instructions on Pairing a Bluetooth Phone
page 107.
When connected, the Model S touchscreen
displays the Bluetooth symbol next to the
phone name to show that the connection is
active.

Making a Phone Call

You can make a phone call by:

dialer:
1. Touch the Phone app on the touchscreen,
then touch Dialer.
2. Enter the phone number on the dialer.
3. Touch Call. The touchscreen displays the
call screen and the number you are
calling.
To make a phone call by choosing a contact:
1. Touch the Phone app on the touchscreen,
then touch Contacts.

to call to display details about the contact.
3. Touch the number you want to dial (there
may be more than one). The touchscreen

selecting the contact directly from your
phone.

Receiving a Phone Call
When your phone receives an incoming call,
both the instrument panel and the
touchscreen display the caller's number or
name (if the caller is in your phone's contact
list and Model S has access to your contacts).
Touch one of the options on the touchscreen,
or use the scroll wheel on the right side of the
steering wheel to Answer or Ignore the call
(see Using Right Steering Wheel Buttons
page 35).
In Call Options
When a call is in progress, you can display the
call menu on the instrument panel by pressing
the top button on the right side of the
steering wheel. Then use the right scroll wheel
to scroll through and choose an option (see
Using Right Steering Wheel Buttons
35). To adjust the call volume, roll the steering
wheel's left scroll wheel during a call.
