WARNING:
Do not rely on
regenerative braking and your chosen
Stopping Mode to keep you and your
vehicle safe. Various factors such as
driving with a heavy vehicle load, on a
steep hill, or on wet or icy roads affect
deceleration rate and the distance at
which Model 3 will come to a stop.
Drive attentively and always stay
prepared to use the brake pedal to
stop as appropriate based on traffic
and road conditions.
WARNING:
Forward Collision Warning
and Automatic Emergency Braking do
not operate when driving at very low
speeds (see
). Do not rely on these
features to warn you, or to prevent or
reduce the impact of a collision.
NOTE:
Your chosen setting is retained in your
Driver Profile until you manually change it.
Parking Brake
The parking brake automatically engages
when you shift Model 3 into Park, and
releases when you shift into any other gear.
NOTE:
The parking brake operates on the rear
wheels only, and is independent of the pedal-
operated brake system.
WARNING:
In snowy or icy conditions
the rear wheels may not have
sufficient traction to prevent Model 3
from sliding down a slope, particularly
if not using winter tires. Avoid parking
on hills in snowy or icy conditions. You
are always responsible for parking
safely.
WARNING:
Your Model 3 may display
an alert if the road is too steep to
safely park on, or if the parking brakes
are not properly engaged. These alerts
are for guidance purposes only and
are not a substitute for the driver’s
judgment of safe parking conditions,
including specific road or weather
conditions. Do not depend on these
alerts to determine whether or not it is
safe to park at any location. You are
always responsible for parking safely.
When you use the
touchscreen to manually
apply the parking brake,
the red parking brake
indicator lights up on the
touchscreen.
If the parking brake
experiences an electrical
issue, the amber parking
brake indicator lights up
and a fault message
displays at the top of the
touchscreen.
CAUTION:
In the unlikely event that
Model 3 loses electrical power, you
cannot access the touchscreen and
are therefore unable to release the
parking brake without first jump
starting Model 3 (see
).
Brake Wear
Model 3 brake pads are equipped with wear
indicators. A wear indicator is a thin metal
strip attached to the brake pad that squeals
as it rubs against the rotor when the pad
wears down. This squealing sound indicates
that the brake pads have reached the end of
their service life and require replacement. To
replace the brake pads, contact Tesla Service.
Brakes must be periodically inspected visually
by removing the tire and wheel. For detailed
specifications and service limits for rotors and
brake pads, see
.
Additionally, Tesla recommends cleaning and
lubricating the brake calipers every year or
20,000 km if in an area where roads are
salted during winter months.
