Restarting the touchscreen or dashboard

You can restart the touchscreen if it is not responding or exhibiting unusual behavior.

Note: Maintain the safety of all passengers and other road users by restarting the touchscreen only when the vehicle is parked.

1. Put in park mode.
2. Hold down both scroll buttons on the square knob (or steering wheel) until the touchscreen turns black.
3. Wait about 30 seconds for the touchscreen to restart. If the touchscreen is still not responding or exhibiting unusual behavior after a few minutes, try turning the vehicle power off and on (if possible). See Turning vehicle power on and off.

Note: Restarting the touchscreen also activates the driving mode selector on the center console.

Note: Pressing the scroll buttons only restarts the touchscreen. It does not restart any other vehicle component and does not turn Model S off and on.
