Speed Limit Mode
Speed Limit Mode allows you to limit the acceleration and maximum speed – between 50 and 90
mph (80 and 145 km/h) – of your Model S. This feature is protected by a 4-digit PIN that you
create when enabling it for the first time, and which must be entered whenever you want to
disable and enable it.
If your Model S comes within approximately 3 mph (5 km/h) of the selected maximum speed, a
chime sounds and text appears on the instrument panel above the driving speed. Additionally,
your mobile app sends you a notification.
To enable Speed Limit Mode:

2. Touch Controls > Safety & Security > Speed Limit Mode on the touchscreen or CONTROLS in
your mobile app.
3. Select the maximum driving speed that you would like to limit the vehicle to.
