Maintenance ScheduleMAINTENANCE
•
Check the condition and pressure of each
tire (see page 7.3).
Regular maintenance is the key to ensuring the
continued reliability and efficiency of your
Model S.
• Check washer fluid level and top up if
necessary (see page 7.18).
Take Model S to Tesla at the regularly scheduled
maintenance intervals of every 12 months, or
every 20,000 kms, whichever comes first.
• Check that the air conditioning system is
operating (see page 5.9).
CAUTION: Contact Tesla immediately if
you notice any significant or sudden drop
in fluid levels or uneven tire wear.
Model S must be serviced by Tesla-certified
technicians. Damages or failures caused by
maintenance or repairs performed by non-Tesla
certified technicians are not covered by the
warranty.
High Voltage Safety
Your Model S has been designed and built with
safety as a priority. However, be aware of these
precautions to protect yourself from the risk of
injury inherent in all high-voltage systems:
Fluid Replacement
Do not change or top up Battery coolant and
brake fluid yourself. Tesla service technicians
replace fluids at the regularly scheduled service
intervals:
•
Read and follow all instructions provided on
the labels that are attached to Model S.
These labels are there for your safety.
•
Brake fluid - every 2 years or 40,000 kms,
whichever comes first.
•
The high voltage system has no
user-serviceable parts. Do not disassemble,
remove or replace high voltage
components, cables or connectors. High
voltage cables are colored orange for easy
identification.
•
Battery coolant - every 4 years or
80,000
kms, whichever comes first.
NOTE: Any damage from opening the Battery
coolant reservoir is excluded from the warranty.
Daily and Monthly Checks
•
•
If an accident occurs, do not touch any high
voltage wiring, connectors, or components
connected to the wiring.
In addition to the regularly scheduled
maintenance performed by Tesla, you should
carry out a few simple checks more frequently.
In the unlikely event that a fire occurs,
immediately contact your local fire
emergency responders.
Daily Checks
•
Check the Battery’s charge level, displayed
on the instrument panel.
WARNING: Always disconnect the charge
cable before working underneath
Model S, even if charging is not in progress.
•
Check that all exterior lights, horn, turn
signals, and wipers and washers are
working.
WARNING: Keep your hands and clothing
away from cooling fans. Some fans
operate even when Model S is powered off.
•
•
•
Check the operation of the brakes,
including the parking brake.
WARNING: Some fluids (battery acid,
Battery coolant, brake fluid, windshield
washer additives, etc.) used in motor vehicles
are poisonous and should not be inhaled,
swallowed, or brought into contact with open
wounds. For your safety, always read and follow
instructions printed on fluid containers.
Check the operation of the seat belts
(see page 3.5).
Look for fluid deposits underneath Model S
that might indicate a leak. It is normal for a
small pool of water to form (caused by the
air conditioning system’s dehumidifying
process).
Dispose of used fluids and other
chemicals at authorized waste disposal
sites. It is illegal to pollute drains, waterways or
soil.
