Restarting the Touchscreen or Instrument Panel
You can restart your touchscreen if it is unresponsive or demonstrates unusual behavior.
Note
To ensure the
safety of occupants as well as other road users, restart the touchscreen only when the vehicle
is in Park.
- Shift into Park.
- Hold down both scroll buttons on the steering wheel until the touchscreen turns black.
- Wait approximately 30 seconds for the touchscreen to restart. If the touchscreen is still unresponsive or demonstrating unusual behavior after a few minutes, try power cycling the vehicle (if possible). See Power Cycling the Vehicle.
To reset the instrument panel, shift into Park and press the top two buttons on the steering wheel (Voice Commands and Next) for 15-30 seconds, or until the screen turns black. A few seconds later, a Tesla logo appears. Wait approximately 30 seconds for the instrument panel to restart.
Note
Pressing the scroll buttons only restarts
the touchscreen. It does not restart any other vehicle component and does not power Model S off and on.
