Driving; Starting And Powering Off - Tesla CYBERTRUCK Owner's Manual

Starting
When you open a door to enter Cybertruck, the
touchscreen powers on and you can operate all controls.
To shift Cybertruck, press the brake pedal and swipe up
for Drive or down for Reverse on the touchscreen's drive
mode strip (see Shifting on page
If Auto Shift out of Park is enabled, Cybertruck
automatically selects Drive or Reverse based on the
detected surroundings . Pressing the brake pedal shifts
the vehicle into the selected drive mode displayed on
the touchscreen's drive mode strip (provided the driver's
door is closed and the driver's seat belt is buckled), and
pressing the accelerator moves the vehicle in that
direction.
NOTE: To turn Auto Shift out of Park on or off, touch
Controls > Dynamics > Auto Shift out of Park.
Before accelerating when Auto Shift out of Park is
enabled, check the touchscreen to make sure that
Cybertruck has shifted into the drive mode you want
(Drive or Reverse). If the selection is not correct, or if
Auto Shift out of Park is not enabled, swipe up for Drive
or down for Reverse on the touchscreen's drive mode
strip to choose a new drive mode. See
75.
NOTE: If PIN to Drive is enabled (see
page 139), you must enter a valid PIN on the
touchscreen before you can drive Cybertruck.
Everything you need to know when driving Cybertruck
displays on the touchscreen.
Drive Disabled - Requires Authentication
If Cybertruck does not detect a key when you press the
brake (a phone key is not detected or two minutes have
passed since you used the key card), the touchscreen
displays a message telling you that driving requires
authentication.
If you see this message, place the key card in either
phone dock where the RFID transmitter can read it. The
two-minute authentication period restarts and you can
start Cybertruck by pressing the brake pedal.

PIN to Drive on
A number of factors can affect whether Cybertruck can
detect a phone key (for example, the device's battery is
low or dead and is no longer able to communicate using
Bluetooth).
Always keep your phone key or a key card with you.
After driving, your key is needed to restart Cybertruck.
And when you leave the vehicle, you must bring your
key with you to lock Cybertruck, either manually or
automatically.
Powering Off
When you finish driving and shift into Park, simply exit
the vehicle. When you leave Cybertruck with your phone
key, it powers off automatically, turning off the
touchscreen.
Cybertruck also powers off automatically after being in
Park for 30 minutes, even if you are sitting in the driver's
seat.
Although usually not needed, you can power off
Cybertruck while sitting in the driver's seat, provided the
vehicle is not moving. Touch Controls > Safety > Power
Off. Cybertruck automatically powers back on after a
short period if you press the brake pedal or touch the
touchscreen.
NOTE: Cybertruck automatically shifts into Park
whenever it determines that you are exiting the vehicle
(for example, the driver's seat belt is unbuckled and the
vehicle is almost at a standstill). If you shift into Neutral,
your vehicle shifts into Park when you open the door to
exit. To keep your vehicle in Neutral, you will need to
activate Transport Mode (see
Transporters on page 217).
Power Cycling the Vehicle
You can power cycle Cybertruck if it demonstrates
unusual behavior or displays a nondescript alert.
