Controls
NOTE: When Chill is selected, Chill displays
on the touchscreen above the driving speed.
Steering Mode: Adjust the amount of effort
required to turn the steering wheel. Sport
feels more responsive whereas Comfort feels
easier to drive and park (see
Steering Effort on page
Regenerative Braking: When you release the
accelerator when driving, regenerative
braking slows Model S and feeds any surplus
energy back to the Battery. If set to LOW,
Model S does not slow down as quickly, but
also feeds less energy back to the Battery
(see Regenerative Braking on page
NOTE: Regardless of the setting selected, the
energy gained by regenerative braking is
reduced if the Battery is full, or is extremely
cold or hot (in which case, surplus energy is
used to heat or cool it).
Stopping Mode: Choose how you want
Model S to behave once regenerative braking
has reduced the driving speed to a very low
speed, a driving gear is still engaged, and
both the accelerator and brake pedals are
released. See Stopping Mode on page
can adjust this setting only when Model S is in
Park.
Slip Start: Turn slip start on to allow wheels to
spin (see Traction Control on page
Range Mode: If on, Model S conserves energy
by automatically limiting the amount of
power that the climate control system uses to
maintain the temperature of the cabin area
and limits the amount of energy being used
to heat or cool the Battery. In addition, Range
Mode turns off signature lights (only in
market regions where daytime running lights
are not required).

• Navigate on Autopilot (Beta): Navigate
on Autopilot automatically exits at off-
ramps and interchanges based on your
navigation route and can also make lane
changes designed to prepare for exits and
minimize the driving time to your
destination (available only if your vehicle
is equipped with an Autopilot package)
(see Navigate on Autopilot on page
Customize Navigate on Autopilot: Specify
how Navigate on Autopilot performs lane
changes, and whether you want it to
automatically enable at the start of every
trip.
NOTE: Navigate on Autopilot is not
available in all market regions.
• Summon (Beta): Automatically park and
retrieve Model S from outside the vehicle
(available only if your vehicle is equipped
with an Autopilot package) (see
on page 109).
Customize Summon: Determine the
bumper clearance, distance, amount of
side clearance, and whether Summon
requires continuous press when active.
• Full Self-Driving Visualization Preview:
Turn on to display more details about the
roadway and its surroundings, such as
road markings, stop signs, stop lights,
objects (such as trash cans and poles),
etc. This may not be available on certain
vehicle configurations or in some market
regions.
• Speed Limit Warning: Select the type of
warnings, if any, you receive if you exceed
the detected speed limit (see
Assist on page 124).
• Speed Limit: Specify if you want Speed
Assist to use a relative (with offset) or an
absolute speed limit (see
page 124).
Offset: If relative speed limit is selected,
set a speed limit offset if you want to be
alerted only when you exceed the offset
speed limit by a specified amount.
• Forward Collision Warning: Choose if and
when you want to receive visual and
audible warnings in situations where there
is a high risk of a frontal collision (see
Collision Avoidance Assist on page
