Mirrors - Tesla S Owner's Manual

Adjusting Exterior Side Mirrors
Press the button associated with the mirror you
want to adjust (left or right), then press the dial to
move the mirror to the desired position. Repeat for
the other side mirror. Touch SAVE on the
touchscreen to save the mirror adjustment in your
driver profile.
To fold an exterior mirror, place your hand on the
back of it and push it toward the door.
If Model S is equipped with the optional tech
package, the driver's side mirror automatically dims
in proportion to the level of glare from the headlights
of a vehicle behind you (except when in Reverse
gear). Also, both exterior side mirrors have heaters
that turn on and off with the rear window heater.
Mirror Auto-tilt When Reversing
If Model S is equipped with the optional tech
package, both exterior mirrors can automatically tilt
downward when backing up. To adjust the auto-tilt
position, shift into Reverse, then adjust the mirrors
as described above (press the button associated
with the mirror you want to adjust, then press the
dial to move the mirror to the desired position).
Touch SAVE on the touchscreen to save the mirror
adjustment in your driver profile.
When you shift back into Drive, the mirrors tilt back
to their normal (upward) position. But now that you
have adjusted them for backing up, they
automatically tilt to the selected downward position
whenever you shift into Reverse.
You can turn the auto-tilt feature on or off using the
touchscreen, Touch Controls > Settings >
Vehicle > Mirror Auto-Tilt.
Driving
Rear View Mirror
Except when in Reverse gear, the rear view mirror
automatically dims in proportion to the level of glare
from the headlights of a vehicle behind you.
