To reset the air suspension on a Tesla Model S, follow these steps:
-
Tesla Model S Air Suspension Reset: Ensure the Car is in Park: Make sure the Tesla Model S is safely parked on level ground before proceeding. You don't want the car moving while adjusting the suspension.
-
Access the Air Suspension Settings: On the touchscreen, navigate to the car’s "Control" settings.
- Go to the "Suspension" section.
- You should see options related to adjusting the suspension height, such as "Low", "Standard", or "High."
-
Resetting the Suspension:
- In the Suspension menu, look for a button or option that says “Reset”. If the system isn't responding as expected, this button will restart the air suspension system.
- If you don't see a dedicated reset button, you can try toggling the suspension height settings (e.g., moving from "Standard" to "High" and back) to reset the system.
-
Perform a Hard Reset (if necessary): If the suspension doesn't respond or if there is an issue you cannot fix through the on-screen options, try performing a hard reset of the entire car:
- Hold both the brake pedal and the scroll wheels on the steering wheel for about 10 seconds. The screen will turn black and reboot.
- After the car restarts, try adjusting the air suspension again.
-
Check for Errors: After resetting, if the air suspension still doesn’t behave as expected, check the vehicle for error messages or warnings on the screen. If you see any, consult the Tesla app or the Tesla support center for further assistance.
-
Manual Override (if needed): If you have issues with air suspension height and cannot reset it through the touchscreen, Tesla service can manually recalibrate or diagnose more advanced issues.
-
Consult the Manual: Tesla Model S owners can always refer to the owner’s manual for additional troubleshooting steps or specific model variations.
If you're still having trouble after trying these steps, there may be an underlying issue with the air suspension system itself, like a sensor or compressor failure. In that case, it's recommended to contact Tesla service or take the car to a certified service center.
