Mirrors
Adjusting Exterior Mirrors
NOTE: When you leave the saved location, mirrors
remain folded until your driving speed reaches 31 mph
(50 km/h), or until you touch Controls > Unfold Mirrors.
Adjust the exterior mirrors by touching Controls >
Mirrors. Press the left scroll button on the steering wheel
to choose whether you are adjusting the Left or Right
mirror. Then use the left scroll button as follows to adjust
the selected mirror to its desired position:
CAUTION: Mirrors may not automatically fold if
you return to a saved location and are driving
faster than 3 mph/5 km/h.
NOTE: You can override the automatic folding/unfolding
of mirrors at any time (for example, Model Y has no
power) by pushing the mirror assembly away from you
to unfold, or pulling it toward you to fold.
• To move the mirror up or down, roll the left scroll
button up or down.
• To move the mirror inward or outward, press the left
scroll button to the left or right.
NOTE: If you expect ice to accumulate when Model Y is
parked, turn off Mirror Auto Fold. Accumulation of ice
can prevent exterior side mirrors from folding or
unfolding. See Cold Weather Best Practices on page 85
for information on how to ensure your mirrors function
properly in cold weather.
Both exterior mirrors can tilt downward when the
vehicle is shifted into Reverse. When you shift back into
another drive mode, the mirrors return to their normal
upward position. To turn this feature on or off, touch
Controls > Mirrors > Mirror Auto Tilt.
You can integrate auto-folding mirrors with HomeLink
(see Smart Garage Connectivity on page 145). To enable,
go to HomeLink > Auto-Fold Mirrors when Nearby.
NOTE: With a future software update, the Save button
will retain the mirror adjustments but it does not
function currently.
Rear View Mirror
When certain environmental conditions are met, the rear
view mirror and exterior side mirrors dim automatically
(for example, in low light conditions or to reduce glare
when driving at night). To enable or disable this feature,
touch Controls > Mirrors > Mirror Auto Dim.
Adjust the rear view mirror manually. When in Drive or
Neutral, the rear view mirror automatically dims in low
lighting conditions based on the time of day (for
example, when driving at night).
Availability of this Mirror Auto Dim depends on market
region and date of manufacture.
Vanity Mirrors
NOTE: Both exterior mirrors have heaters that turn on
and off with the rear window defroster.
To expose and illuminate the vanity mirror, fold the sun
visor downwards, then use the tab to lower the mirror
cover. After closing the mirror cover, the light turns off.
Folding Mirrors
To manually fold and unfold exterior mirrors (for
example, parking in a narrow garage, tight space, etc.),
touch Controls > Fold/Unfold Mirrors.
When you manually fold the mirrors, they remain folded
until your driving speed reaches 31 mph (50 km/h) (or
until you manually unfold them by touching Controls >
Unfold Mirrors).
NOTE: You cannot fold a mirror when driving over 31
mph (50 km/h).
To set the mirrors to fold automatically whenever you
exit and lock Model Y touch Controls > Mirrors > Mirror
Auto Fold. The mirrors unfold automatically when you
unlock Model Y.
You can also set mirrors to fold automatically whenever
you arrive at a specific location, which saves you from
having to manually fold them each time you arrive at a
frequented place. To set this up, stop at the location you
want to save (or drive at less than 3 mph (5 km/h)), and
fold the mirrors. Save Location appears briefly below
the Fold Mirrors control. Touch again if you no longer
want mirrors to automatically fold at the location.
