Fluid Reservoirs
Removing the Maintenance Panel
Checking Battery Coolant
To access fuses and check fluid levels, remove
the maintenance panel:
If the quantity of fluid in the cooling system
drops below the recommended level, the
instrument panel displays a warning message.
Stop Model S as soon as safety permits and
contact Tesla.
1.
Pull the rear edge of the maintenance
panel upward to release the five clips that
hold the panel in place.
2.
Maneuver the maintenance panel toward
the windshield to remove.
Fluid Level Check
Tesla checks the Battery coolant level at the
regularly scheduled maintenance intervals. To
check it yourself, park Model S on level
ground. When Model S is cool, remove the
maintenance panel (see Removing the
Maintenance Panel on page 114).
Caution: The maintenance panel protects
the front trunk from water. When re-
attaching, make sure it is fully seated.
Check the fluid level visually by looking at the
outside marks on the side of the reservoir. DO
NOT REMOVE THE FILLER CAP AND DO NOT
ADD FLUID. Doing so can result in damage
not covered by the warranty.
The fluid level should be between the MIN and
the MAX marks. If you notice that the fluid
level has dropped significantly, contact Tesla
before using Model S.
Topping Up the Battery Coolant
Under no circumstances should you add
coolant. If the instrument panel warns you
that the fluid level is low, contact Tesla
immediately.
To maximize the performance and life of the
Battery, the cooling system uses a specific
type of G-48 ethylene-glycol coolant (HOAT).
Contact Tesla for more specific information
about the coolant.
