Maintenance Schedule
Service Intervals
Fluid Replacement Intervals
Regular maintenance is the key to ensuring
the continued reliability andefficiency of your
Model S.
Do not change or top up Battery coolant and
brakefluid yourself. Tesla service technicians
replacefluids at the regularly scheduled
service intervals:
Rotate the tires every 5000 miles (8000 km),
maintain the correct tire pressures, and take
Model S to Tesla at the regularly scheduled
maintenance intervals of every 12 months, or
every 12,500 miles (20,000 km), whichever
comesfirst. It is also important to perform the
daily and monthly checks described below.
•
Brakefluid. Every 2 years or 25,000 miles
(40,000 km), whichever comesfirst.
•
Battery coolant. Every 5 years or
62,500
miles (100,000 km), whichever
comesfirst.
Note: Any damage from opening the Battery
coolant reservoir is excluded from the
warranty.
Model S must be serviced byTesla-certified
technicians. Damages or failures caused by
maintenance or repairs performed by non-
Teslacertified 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:
Daily Checks
•
Check the Battery’s charge level,
displayed on the instrument panel.
•
Check that all exterior lights, horn, turn
signals, and wipers and washers are
working.
•
Read and follow all instructions provided
on the labels that are attached to Model S.
These labels are there for your safety.
•
•
•
Check the operation of the brakes,
including the parking brake.
Check the operation of the seat belts
(see Seat Belts on page 19).
Look forfluid 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).
•
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.
•
•
If an accident occurs, do not touch any
high voltage wiring, connectors, or
components connected to the wiring.
In the unlikely event that afire occurs,
immediately contact your localfire
emergency responders.
Monthly Checks
•
Check the mileage to determine if the tires
need to be rotated (every 5000 miles/
Warning: Always disconnect the charge
cable before working underneath
Model S, even if charging is not in
progress.
8000
km), and check the condition and
pressure of each tire (see Tire Care and
Maintenance on page 135).
•
•
Check washerfluid level and top up if
necessary (see Topping Up Washer Fluid
on page 151).
Check that the air conditioning system is
operating (see Climate Controls on page
104).
Warning: Keep your hands and clothing
away from cooling fans. Some fans
operate even when Model S is powered
off.
Caution: Somefluids (battery acid,
Battery coolant, brakefluid, 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 onfluid containers.
Warning: Contact Tesla immediately if you
notice anysignificant or sudden drop in
fluid levels or uneven tire wear.
