antifreeze. In cold weather, using a washer
fluid without antifreeze can impair
visibility through the windshield.
The only reservoir into which you can addfluid
is the washerfluid reservoir located under the
front trunk. When the level is low, a message
displays on the instrument panel.
Do not use formulated washerfluids that
contain water repellent or bug wash. These
fluids can cause streaking, smearing, and
squeaking or other noises.
Operate the washers periodically to check that
the nozzles are clear and properly directed.
To top up washerfluid:
1.
Clean thefiller cap before opening to
prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.
2.
Open thefiller cap.
3.
4.
Fill the reservoir until thefluid level is
visible just below thefiller neck.
Replace thefiller cap.
Note: Some national or local regulations
restrict the use of Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs). VOCs are commonly
used as antifreeze in washerfluid. Use a
washerfluid with limited VOC content only if it
provides adequate freeze resistance for all
climates in which you drive Model S.
Caution: Under no circumstances do you
need to inspect or top up otherfluid
reservoirs. Two additionalfluid reservoirs
are located next to the washerfluid, 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
safe to do so, and contact Tesla.
Caution: Do not spill washerfluid on body
panels. Doing so can cause damage. Wipe
up spills immediately and wash the
affected area with water.
Warning: In temperatures below
40°
