Instrument Panel - Driving
When Model S is driving (or ready to drive), the instrument panel shows your current driving
status and a real-time visualization of the road as detected by Model S's Driver Assistance
components (see
on page 73).
Note:
The following illustration is provided for demonstration purposes only. Depending on vehicle
options, software version, and market region, the information displayed may be slightly different.
1.
Indicator lights display along the top to provide status (see
page 48).
2.
When you are actively navigating to a destination, navigation instructions display here. Use
the left steering wheel buttons to change what displays on the left side of the instrument
panel whenever navigation instructions are not displayed (see
on page 41).
3.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is cruising at a set speed. When Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is
available but you haven't set a cruising speed, the icon is gray and the speed is not shown
(see
4.
Driving speed.
5.
Autosteer is actively steering Model S. When Autosteer is available but you haven't activated
it, the icon is gray (see
on page 82).
6.
On the Energy graph, dashed lines appear on the power meter if Model S is limiting power.
The dashed lines appear on the top portion (energy being used) when power available for
acceleration is being limited, and on the bottom portion (energy being gained) when power
that can be gained by regenerative braking is limited. Model S limits power for many reasons.
Here are just a few examples:
•
Acceleration may be limited when the Battery is reaching a low state of charge or if the
powertrain is hot.
•
Both acceleration and regenerative braking may be limited when the ambient temperature
is either very high or very low.
•
Regenerative braking may be limited when the Battery is fully charged.
Note:
Use the right steering wheel buttons to control what displays on the right side of the
instrument panel (see
Using Right Steering Wheel Buttons
on page 42).
