Controls
Navigation
Customize how the navigation system works:
• Navigation Volume: Increase or decrease the volume
of spoken navigation instructions by touching - or +,
respectively. Fully decreasing the volume mutes the
instructions. You can also mute navigation
instructions when a navigation route is active by
touching the volume icon on the turn-by-turn
direction list.
NOTE: This volume setting applies only to the
navigation system's spoken instructions. It does not
change the volume of media player and phone calls.
• Automatic Navigation: If enabled and your phone's
calendar is synced to Model S, you are automatically
routed to an event if you get into Model S within two
hours of the event's start time (assuming the event
on your calendar includes a valid address). When this
feature is turned on, Model S also automatically
initiates a navigation route to your specified Home
and Work locations on weekdays (see
Navigation on page 126).
• Trip Planner: Use trip planner (if available in your
market region) to plan your driving and add stops at
superchargers if charging is needed to reach a
destination to which you are navigating (see
Planner on page 128).
• Online Routing: When selected, Model S can
automatically reroute you to a navigation destination
to avoid delays (see Online Routing on page
• Avoid Ferries: When on, navigation routes avoid the
use of ferries.
• Avoid Tolls: When on, navigation routes avoid the use
of tolls.
• Use HOV Lanes: When on, navigation routes include
the use of High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes. This
is particularly useful when using Navigate on
Autopilot, if equipped (see
page 87). You are responsible for ensuring Model S is
eligible to use HOV lanes.
NOTE: You can also display these navigation settings by
touching the settings icon on the map (see
Navigation on page 124).
Safety
Allow Mobile Access: Allow your Tesla mobile app to
access your Model S (see
NOTE: To disable Allow Mobile Access, you must enter

Powering
Speed Limit Mode: Speed Limit Mode allows you to limit
acceleration and limit the maximum driving speed to a
chosen value between 50 and 90 mph (80 and 145
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 panel displays a message, and Model S sends
a notification to the mobile app. To enable Speed Limit
Mode:
1. Ensure Model S is in Park.
2. Touch Controls > Safety > Speed Limit Mode on the
touchscreen, or touch Controls in your mobile app.
3. Select the maximum driving speed.
4. Drag the slider to the On position.
5. Enter the 4-digit PIN that you want to use to enable
and disable Speed Limit Mode.
NOTE: If you forget the PIN, you can disable Speed
Limit Mode by entering login credentials for your
Tesla account.
NOTE: While Speed Limit Mode is enabled, the
acceleration setting (Controls > Pedals & Steering >
Acceleration) automatically sets to Chill.
WARNING: Driving downhill can increase driving
speed and cause Model S to exceed your chosen
maximum speed.
WARNING: Speed Limit Mode is not a replacement
for good judgment, driver training, and the need to
closely monitor speed limits and driving
conditions. Accidents occur at any speed.
Sentry Mode: When enabled, cameras and sensors
remain powered on and ready to record suspicious
activity whenever Model S is locked and in Park. See
(Using Sentry Mode on page
Dashcam (if equipped): When enabled, cameras can
record and save video footage of the surrounding
roadway (see Using Dashcam on page
Dashcam by selecting:
• Auto: Dashcam automatically saves a recording to
the USB flash drive (if available and installed) in
situations where Model S detects a safety event, such
as a collision or airbag deployment.
• Manual: You must touch the Dashcam icon to save a
recording of the most recent 10 minutes of driving to
the USB flash drive.
• Off: Dashcam is disabled until you select Auto or
Manual.
• On Honk: When you press the horn, Dashcam saves a
recording of the most recent 10 minutes of driving to
