Wiper Blades and Washer Jets
Checking and Replacing Wipers
To make wiper blades easy to access, turnoff
the wipers, shift Model X into Park, then use
the touchscreen to move them to the service
position. Touch Controls > Settings > Service &
Reset > Service Mode > ON.
Note: Wipers automatically return to their
normal position when you shift Model X out of
Park.
Periodically check and clean the edge of the
wiper blade and check the rubber for cracks,
splits and roughness. If damaged, contact
Tesla Service to have the blades replaced.
Contaminants on the windshield, or on the
wiper blades, can reduce theeffectiveness of
the wiper blades. Contaminants include ice,
wax spray from car washes, washerfluid with
bug and/or water repellent, bird droppings,
tree sap, and other organic substances.
Follow these guidelines for cleaning:
•
Clean the windshield using non-abrasive
glass cleaner.
•
Lift the wiper arm a short distance away
from the windshield, just far enough to
access the wiper blade, then wipe the
blade clean using isopropyl (rubbing)
alcohol or washerfluid.
If the wipers remainineffective after cleaning,
the wipers may need to be replaced. The
wiper washing system is an integrated part of
the wiper blades and therefore it is not
possible to replace just the wiper blades. For
wiper replacement, contact Tesla Service.
Caution: Only use cleaning products
approved for use on automotive glass and
rubber. Inappropriate products can cause
damage or smears, and create glare on
the windshield.
