Vehicle Hold - Tesla MODEL 3 2020 Owner's Manual

When Model 3 is stopped, Vehicle Hold can
continue to apply the brakes even after you
remove your foot from the brake pedal. When
driving on a hill or on a flat surface, brake as
you normally would. After coming to a
complete stop, simply press the brake pedal
again (until the touchscreen displays the
Vehicle Hold indicator light) to enable Vehicle
Hold. You can then release the brake pedal
and remain stopped, even on a hill.
This indicator displays on
the touchscreen whenever
Vehicle Hold is actively
braking Model 3.
To disengage Vehicle Hold, press the
accelerator pedal or press and release the
brake pedal.
NOTE: Shifting into Neutral also disengages

Vehicle Hold.

approximately ten minutes, Model 3 shifts into
Park and Vehicle Hold cancels. Model 3 also
shifts into Park if it detects that the driver has
left the vehicle.
NOTE: When Stopping Mode is set to Hold
(see Stopping Mode on page
Hold engages automatically whenever Model
3 stops while in a driving gear. There is no
need to press the brake to engage it.
