Use search
In Model 3 2017-2023 and 2024+, settings are focused on Controls. If you do not remember the section, use the search at the top of this window: the result allows you to go to the desired item. The information icon next to the setting reveals the explanation. The image from someone else's instructions may differ due to the software version and configuration.
Set up quick controls
On the bottom panel of My Apps, you can take frequently used applications and controls. Hold the icon, then drag the desired item from the application menu. Do not fill the panel with random features: first choose the ones you need daily and check if they are convenient to find.
If the display freezes
Restart only after stopping in Park: hold both wheels until the screen darkens and wait for it to return. This restarts the display, not the entire car. If the problem persists, write down the circumstances of the failure to contact the service; restarting does not prove that the cause has been eliminated.
Keep in mind: When restarting, no warnings and camera are visible; do not change screen settings on the go.
