Owner's Guide

Safety &
Security
You can manually apply and release the parking brake (see Parking Brake on
page 57), limit the acceleration and max speed (see Speed Limit Mode on
page 96), and power o the vehicle (see Powering O on page 46). You
can also turn the following settings on or o:
• Park Assist Chimes: If on, you will hear an audible beep when
approaching an object while parking (see Park Assist on page 59).
• Security Alarm: Enable the security alarm (see Security Settings on
page 115).
• Cabin Overheat Protection: Reduce the temperature of the cabin in
extremely hot ambient conditions for a period of up to twelve hours
after you exit Model 3 (see Cabin Overheat Protection on page 101).
Note: Cabin Overheat Protection operates only when the energy
remaining in the Battery is above 20%.
• Allow Mobile Access: Allow Tesla's mobile applications to access your
Model 3 (see Mobile App on page 10).
Note: To disable Allow Mobile Access, enter your Tesla account
credentials on the touchscreen.
• Data Sharing: Allow sharing of road measurement data (see Data
Sharing on page 164).
• PIN to Drive: To increase security, you can prevent Model 3 from being
driven until a 4-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) is entered
(see PIN to Drive on page 115).
Service
Wiper Service Mode: Make wiper blades easy to access (see Wiper Blades
and Washer Jets on page 140).
Adjust Headlights: Make adjustments to the level of the headlights (see
Headlight Adjustments on page 50).
Caution: Headlights should only be adjusted by Tesla Service.
Transporting: Prepare Model 3 for transporting by keeping it in Neutral
(which disengages the parking brake and prevents damage to the rear
motor that is caused by wheels turning as Model 3 is pulled onto a flatbed
truck). See Instructions for Transporters on page 158.
Owner's Manual: Display this manual.
Note: You can also display this manual by touching the Tesla "T"at the top of
the touchscreen.
Factory Reset: Erase all personal data (saved addresses, music favorites,
etc.) and restore all customized settings to their factory defaults.
Glovebox Open the glovebox (see Glovebox on page 20).
Naming Your Vehicle
To further personalize Model 3, you can name it. The name you give your Model 3 will appear in
the mobile app. To name your vehicle, touch the Tesla “T” at the top center of the touchscreen,
then touch Name Your Vehicle (or touch the vehicle's existing name). Enter the new name in the
popup then touch Save.
Speed Limit Mode
Speed Limit Mode allows you to limit the acceleration and maximum speed – between 50 and 90
mph (80 and 145 km/h) – of your Model 3. This feature is protected by a 4-digit PIN that you
create when enabling it for the first time, and which must be re-entered in order to disable and re-
enable it.
