Adjusting Position

Steering Wheel

Adjust the steering wheel to the desired driving
position by moving the control on the left side
of the steering column.
WARNING: Do not make adjustments
while driving. Doing so increases the
likelihood of a collision.

Adjusting Sensitivity

You can adjust the feel and sensitivity of the
steering system to suit your personal
preference:
1. On the touchscreen, touch Controls.
2. Choose a steering option:
• Comfort - reduces the effort required to
turn the wheel. In town, Model S feels
easier to drive and park.
• Standard - Tesla believes that this setting
offers the best handling and response in
all conditions.
• Sport - Increases the effort required to
turn the wheel. When driving at higher
speeds, Model S feels more responsive.
The only way to really know which option you
like best is to try them.

Using Left Steering Wheel Buttons

Use the buttons on the left side of the steering
wheel to change radio stations, control the
media player's volume, and control what
displays on the left side of the instrument panel
whenever the Navigation app is not displaying
instructions.
