Fluid Reservoirs
Fluid Reservoirs
Topping Up Washer Fluid
CAUTION: Under no circumstances do
you need to inspect or top up other fluid
reservoirs. Two additional fluid reservoirs
are located next to the washer fluid, but
underneath the maintenance panel. In the
unlikely event that you see a message on the
instrument panel that one of these fluid levels is
low, stop Model S as soon as safety permits,
and contact Tesla.
Model S has only one reservoir into which you
can add fluid. This is the washer fluid reservoir
under the front trunk. When the level is low, a
message displays on the instrument panel. Fill
until the fluid level is visible just below the filler
neck.
Do not use formulated washer fluids that
contain water repellent or bug wash. These
fluids can cause streaking, smearing, and
squeaking, or other noises.
CAUTION: Do not spill washer fluid on
body panels. Doing so can cause
damage. Wipe up spills immediately and
wash the affected area with water.
Operate the washers periodically to check that
the nozzles are clear and properly directed.
WARNING: In temperatures below 4°C,
use a washer fluid with antifreeze. In cold
weather, using a washer fluid without antifreeze
can impair visibility through the windshield.
To top up washer fluid:
1.
Clean the filler cap before opening to
prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.
2.
Open the filler cap.
3.
4.
Fill the reservoir until the fluid is visible just
below the filler neck.
Replace the filler cap.
NOTE: Some national or local regulations
restrict the use of Volatile Organic Compounds
(VOCs). VOCs are commonly used as antifreeze
in washer fluid. Use a washer fluid with limited
VOC content only if it provides adequate freeze
resistance for all climates in which you drive
Model S.
