Mirrors - Tesla MODEL Y 2022 Owner's Manual

Adjusting Exterior Mirrors
Adjust the exterior mirrors by touching Controls >
Mirrors. Press the left scroll button on the steering wheel
to choose whether you are adjusting the Left or Right
mirror. Then use the left scroll button as follows to adjust
the selected mirror to its desired position:
• To move the mirror up or down, roll the left scroll
button up or down.
• To move the mirror inward or outward, press the left
scroll button to the left or right.
NOTE: Both exterior mirrors have heaters that turn on
and off with the rear window defroster.
Mirror Auto Tilt
Both exterior mirrors can automatically tilt downward
when Model Y is shifted into Reverse. When you shift
back into another drive mode, the mirrors return to their
normal upward position.
To turn this feature on or off, touch Controls > Mirrors >
Mirror Auto Tilt.
Mirror Auto Fold
Both exterior mirrors can automatically fold inward
whenever you exit and lock Model Y. When you unlock
Model Y, the exterior mirrors then automatically unfold.
To turn this feature on or off, touch Controls > Mirrors >
Mirror Auto Fold.
Mirrors remain folded until your driving speed reaches
50 km/h, or until you touch Controls > Unfold Mirrors.
You can also fold/unfold mirrors manually, or fold
mirrors automatically at specific locations. See
Mirrors at Specific Locations on page
NOTE: If you expect ice to accumulate when Model Y is
parked, turn off Mirror Auto Fold. Accumulation of ice
can prevent exterior side mirrors from folding or
unfolding. See Cold Weather Best Practices on page
82 for information on how to ensure your mirrors
function properly in cold weather.
Mirror Auto Dim
When certain environmental conditions are met, the rear
view mirror and exterior side mirrors dim automatically
(for example, in low light conditions or to reduce glare
when driving at night). To enable or disable this feature,
touch Controls > Mirrors > Mirror Auto Dim.
Availability of this feature depends on market region and
date of manufacture.
Driving
Folding Mirrors at Specific
Locations
In addition to having mirrors fold automatically
whenever you park Model Y, you can fold (and unfold)
mirrors anytime your driving speed is less than 50 km/h.
This is useful for parking in tight spaces. To do so, touch
Controls > Fold Mirrors.
When you fold mirrors, a Location Saved popup briefly
displays below the Fold Mirrors control. When Location
Saved is enabled, mirrors automatically fold whenever
you approach the location, saving you from having to
manually fold them each time you arrive at a frequently
visited location (such as narrow garages, tight parking
spaces, etc.). If you do not want the location saved,
simply touch Location Saved to disable it. This popup
toggles between Location Saved and Save Location to
allow you to specify whether or not you want mirrors to
automatically fold as you approach your current
location.
NOTE: To save or unsave a location at which the mirrors
fold, Model Y must be driving at a low speed (less than
5 km/h) or stopped at the location you want your
vehicle to remember.
NOTE: When you leave the saved location, mirrors
remain folded until your driving speed reaches 50 km/h,
or until you touch Controls > Unfold Mirrors. When
driving at or above this speed threshold, you can not
fold mirrors.
NOTE: You can also override the automatic folding/
unfolding of mirrors at any time (for example, Model Y
has no power) by pushing the mirror assembly away
from you to unfold, or pulling it toward you to fold.
Folding
You can integrate auto-folding mirrors with HomeLink
51.
(see
do so, touch the HomeLink icon on the top of the
Controls screen and enable Auto-Fold Mirrors when
Nearby.
Rear View Mirror
The rear view mirror is adjusted manually. When in Drive
or Neutral, the rear view mirror automatically dims in low
lighting conditions based on the time of day (for
example, when driving at night).
Vanity Mirrors
To expose and illuminate the vanity mirror, fold the sun
visor downwards, then use the tab to lower the mirror
cover. After closing the mirror cover, the light turns off.
CAUTION: Mirrors may not automatically fold if
you return to a saved location driving faster than
5 km/h.
