Shift Using the Touchscreen
When you press the brake pedal when Cybertruck is
parked, the drive mode strip displays on the driver's side
of the touchscreen. Use the drive mode strip to shift
Cybertruck: Swipe up for Drive, swipe down for Reverse,
or press the drive mode strip for Park.
The touchscreen always shows which gear Cybertruck is
in, but the drive mode strip is hidden when driving at
highway speeds. To show the drive mode strip at any
time, swipe right from the left edge of the touchscreen.
To shift into Park when driving below 5 mph (8 km/h),
touch the drive mode strip while pressing the brake
pedal. In emergency situations when driving above 5
mph (8 km/h), press and hold the gear strip to slowly
bring the vehicle to a stop.
NOTE: To shift from Drive into Reverse or vice versa, the
driving speed must be less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
The touchscreen is the preferred method to manually
shift. However, in the unlikely situation in which the
touchscreen is unavailable and therefore can't be used,
the drive mode selector on the overhead console
automatically activates and must be used to shift (see
Shift Using the Overhead Console on page
If you try to shift when it is prohibited by the current
driving speed, the touchscreen displays an alert, a chime
sounds, and the drive mode does not change.
Driving

by default. When disabled, use the touchscreen or the
overhead console to manually shift. To enable Auto Shift

To override the selection, press the brake pedal and use
the drive mode strip on touchscreen to shift into your
desired drive mode (Drive, Reverse, Park; see

Confirm the drive mode selection and follow the
instructions on the touchscreen before you press the
accelerator.

and surroundings before driving. Never rely on
Cybertruck to automatically select a suitable drive
mode without confirming the selection before you
start to drive.
