Steering Wheel - Tesla S Owner's Manual

Steering Wheel

Adjusting Position
Adjust the steering wheel to the desired
driving position by moving the control on the
left side of the steering column. Using this
control, you can move the steering wheel
forward and backward and up and down.
Warning: Do not make adjustments while
driving.
Adjusting Sensitivity
You can adjust the feel and sensitivity of the
steering system to suit your personal
preference:
1. On the touchscreen, touch Controls.
2. Choose a steering option:
• Comfort - Reduces the effort required
to turn the wheel. In town, Model S
feels easier to drive and park.
• Standard - Tesla believes that this
setting offers the best handling and
response in all conditions.
• Sport - Increases the effort required
to turn the wheel. When driving at
higher speeds, Model S feels more
responsive.
The only way to really know which option you
like best is to try them.
Using Left Steering Wheel Buttons
Use the buttons on the left side of the steering
wheel to change radio stations, control the
media player's volume, and to choose what

panel (whenever the Navigation app is not
