Climate Control Operating Tips
Outside air is drawn into Model S through the
grill in front of the windshield. Keep the grill
clear of obstructions such as leaves and snow.
To conserve energy, you can limit the
power of the climate control system by
turning on Range Mode. Cabin heating
and cooling may be less effective, but
seat heaters turn on to compensate.
Touch Controls > Settings > Vehicle >
Range Mode.
To direct the flow of air inside Model S, move
the interior vents up, down, or from side to
side.
If the climate control system operates
more loudly than you prefer, reduce the
fan speed or adjust the air flow to draw in
outside air (instead of recirculating).
In addition to cooling the interior, the air
conditioning system also cools the
Battery. Therefore, in hot weather, the air
conditioning system can turn on even if
you turned it off. This is normal because
the system’s priority is to cool the Battery
to ensure it stays within an optimum
temperature range to support long life
and optimum performance.
To ensure the climate control system
operates efficiently, close all windows and
ensure that the exterior grill in front of the
windshield is free of ice, snow, leaves, and
other debris.
Note: You can direct the outer face level vents
toward the side windows to help defrost or
defog them.
To reduce the time it takes to reach a
comfortable temperature in hot weather,
drive with the windows slightly open for a
few minutes when you first start driving.
In very humid conditions, it is normal for
the windshield to fog slightly when you
first turn on the air conditioning. This fog
clears within a few seconds.
It is normal for a small pool of water to
form under Model S when parked. Extra
water produced by the dehumidifying
process is drained underneath.
Cabin Air Filter
Model S has an air filter that prevents pollen,
industrial fallout, road dust and other particles
from entering through the vents. Tesla
replaces the air filter at the regularly
scheduled maintenance intervals of every
12
months, or every 12,500 miles (20,000 km).
