When you first adjust the driver's seat,
steering wheel, or driver's side mirror, the
touchscreen prompts you to create a driver
profile to save these adjustments. Your profile
also saves some of the preferences you make
using the touchscreen's Controls window.
You can also check the Use Easy
Entry checkbox if you want to save
(or use existing) Easy Entry settings
(described below) in which the
driver's seat and the steering wheel
are automatically adjusted to make it
easy to enter and exit Model 3. If you change the position of the steering
wheel, driver's seat, or driver's side mirror
after you have saved or chosen a driver
profile, the touchscreen prompts you to save
the new position or restore the previously
saved position (other settings are
automatically saved). To change a setting
without saving or restoring, just ignore the
prompt.
To adjust Model 3 based on a driver's profile,
touch the driver profile icon and choose the
driver name. The saved adjustments are
automatically made.
Note: Valet mode is a built-in driver profile
used to limit speed and restrict access to
some Model 3 features Note: To stop automatic adjustments that are
in process based on a driver's profile, touch
Stop on the Driver Profile dropdown menu.
Automatic adjustments also stop if you
manually adjust a seat, mirror or the steering
wheel. Easy Entry You can define an Easy Entry setting that
moves the steering wheel and driver's seat to
make it easy to enter and exit Model 3. Any
driver can use the Easy Entry setting by
associating it with their driver's profile. When
the Easy Entry setting is associated with a
driver's profile, the steering wheel and driver's
seat automatically adjust when the park gear
is engaged and the driver's seat belt is
unbuckled, allowing an easy exit from the
vehicle. When returning to the vehicle and
stepping on the brake pedal, settings
automatically adjust back to the settings used
by the most recent driver profile (or based on
the key if it's linked to a driver profile).
To use Easy Entry with a driver profile, ensure
the Use Easy Entry box is checked. Warning: Never use Easy Entry to move
the driver's seat to the full rearward
position when a child safety seat is
installed on a rear seat located behind the
driver's seat. With reduced clearance, the
movement of the seat may impact a
child's legs, cause injury, or dislodge the
seat. Restoring a Driver's Profile Saved Settings A subset of the settings that you choose from
the Controls window to customize your Model
3 are also saved to your driver's profile. The
settings that are associated with driver
profiles may vary depending on the version of
software currently installed on your Model 3. You can link a driver profile to a key (or keys)
to allow Model 3 to automatically select the
correct driver profile when the linked key is
detected as you approach the vehicle and
open the driver's door. To link a driver profile
to a key, first ensure you are using your
desired driver profile. Navigate to Controls >
Locks and touch the + icon. You can add an
authenticated phone, key card, or key fob by
following the onscreen instructions. When
finished pairing, touch the driver icon to link
the key to the desired driver profile. The name
of the driver profile will appear under the key
to show that it is linked. Note: Model 3 can support up to 19 linked keys
including authenticated phones, key cards,
and up to four key fobs. However, Model 3
only supports up to 10 driver profiles. You can
link multiple keys to a driver profile, but you
cannot link multiple driver profiles to a single
key. Valet Mode When Model 3 is in Valet mode, the following
restrictions apply: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are disabled. When
Model 3 is in Valet mode, you cannot pair
new Bluetooth devices or view or delete
existing paired devices. Note: If a Bluetooth paired device or a
known Wi-Fi network is within operating
range (approximately 30 feet or 9 meters)
of Model 3 in Valet mode, Model 3 will
connect to it. Starting Valet Mode With Model 3 in Park, touch the driver profile
icon on the top of the touchscreen, then touch
Valet Mode.
The first time you enter Valet mode, you will
be prompted to create a 4-digit PIN that you
will use to cancel Valet mode.
When Valet mode is active, the touchscreen
displays the word Valet above the driving
speed and the Valet mode driver profile
displays on the touchscreen.
You can also use the mobile app to start and
cancel Valet mode (provided Model 3 is in
Park). When using the mobile app, you do not
need to enter a PIN because you are already
required to log into the app using your Tesla
Account credentials. Note: If the PIN to Drive setting is enabled you must
enter the driving PIN before you can define or
enter a Valet PIN. Once in Valet mode, Model 3
can be driven without the valet needing to
enter the driving PIN. Note: The PIN to Drive setting is not available
when Valet mode is active. If you forget your valet PIN, reset it from
inside Model 3 by entering your Tesla Account
credentials (which also cancels Valet mode).
You can also reset your PIN using the mobile
app. Canceling Valet Mode With Model 3 in Park, touch the Valet Mode
driver icon on the touchscreen's status bar,
then enter your 4-digit PIN.
When you cancel Valet mode, all settings
associated with the most recently used driver
profile and climate control settings are
restored, and all features are available. Note: You do not need to enter a PIN to cancel
Valet mode from the mobile app.Creating a Driver Profile
