• Avoid parking on a grade (see
).
• Regularly confirm that all towing
components are securely tightened.
WARNING:
Towing requires you to
increase your stopping distance. When
towing, increase your following
distance and avoid situations that
could potentially cause heavy braking.
Failure to do so can result in a
collision.
WARNING:
Observe all regulations
and legal requirements in your
jurisdiction that apply specifically to
trailer towing. Failure to comply with
regulations can compromise your
safety.
WARNING:
Never attempt to connect
trailer brakes to the vehicle braking
system. Doing so can cause damage
to the vehicle and the trailer, and can
cause the braking system to
malfunction, resulting in serious injury.
Trailer Mode
Trailer Mode must always be active when
towing a trailer. When you connect a trailer's
electrical connection while the vehicle is in
Park, Model 3 automatically engages Trailer
Mode. When you disconnect the trailer's
electrical connection, Trailer Mode does not
disengage automatically. To manually engage
or disengage Trailer Mode, touch
Controls
>
Driving
>
Trailer Mode
on the touchscreen.
One of the following indicators display on the
touchscreen:
Trailer Mode is Active.
Model 3 detects a
connection for trailer
lights but Trailer Mode is
disabled. It is likely that a
carrying accessory has
been connected.
Model 3 detects a faulty
electrical connection for
the trailer lights. Some, or
all, trailer lights may not
be functioning. Pull over
as soon as safety permits
and inspect the trailer
lights for faulty cabling or
connections. If the issues
are resolved and the red
icon still persists, turn
Trailer Mode off and on
once more.
Some Autopilot features, as well as rear
parking sensor functionality, may not be
available when Trailer Mode is enabled. In
addition, these features operate differently:
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control increases the
following distance from the vehicle in front
of you.
• Side collision warnings are active but
automatic steering interventions are
disabled.
• The braking force provided by Automatic
Emergency Braking (see
) may be
limited.
WARNING:
Do not rely on Model 3 to
detect the trailer and automatically
engage Trailer Mode. Always check to
ensure that Trailer Mode is engaged
before towing a trailer.
WARNING:
Under no circumstances
should you exit Trailer Mode when
towing a trailer. Doing so can cause
serious injury.
Parking with a Trailer
Whenever possible, avoid parking on a grade.
However, if parking on a grade is absolutely
necessary, place wheel chocks under the
trailer wheels. Consider having someone help
you with these steps:
• One person presses and holds the brake
pedal.
• A second person places the wheel chocks
under the wheels on the downgrade side of
the vehicle's tires.
