Starting and Powering OffStarting and Powering Off
4.6MODEL S OWNERS MANUAL
Starting and Powering OffStarting Model S
When you open a door, Model S powers on the
instrument panel and touchscreen. The center
circle on the instrument panel displays the
status of doors and the charge level, and you
can operate all controls.
To d r i v e :
•PRESS THE BRAKE - the center circle on
the instrument panel changes to display the
speedometer, power meter, charge level,
and selected gear (P, R, N, or D)
•SELECT A GEAR - all the way down for
Drive and all the way up for Reverse,
Everything you need to know when driving
Model S displays on the instrument panel.
Key Not Inside
If Model S does not detect a key when you
press the brake, the instrument panel displays a
message telling you that a key was not
detected.
Place the key in the center console cup holder
where Model S can best detect it.
If Model S still does not detect the key, try
holding it against the center console,
immediately below the 12V power socket (see
page 5.16). Or try using another key. If another
key does not work, contact Tesla.
A number of factors can affect whether
Model S can detect the key. These include a low
battery in the key, interference from other
devices using radio signals, and objects
between the key and receiver.Always keep the key with you. After driving,
you need it to restart Model S after it powers
off. And when you leave Model S, you must
bring it with you to lock Model S, either
manually or automatically (see page 2.5).
Powering Off
When you finish driving, shift into Park by
pressing the button on the end of the gear
selector. The parking brake automatically
engages and all systems keep operating. When
you leave Model S with the key, it powers off
automatically, turning off the touchscreen and
instrument panel.
Model S also powers off automatically after
being in Park for 15 minutes, even if you are
sitting in the driver’s seat.
To power off Model S while you are still sitting
in the driver’s seat, touch Controls > E-Brake &
Power Off > Power Off. Model S automatically
powers back on again if you press the brake or
touch anywhere on the touchscreen.
NOTE: Model S automatically shifts into Park
whenever you finish driving and exit, even if you
shift into Neutral before exiting. To keep
Model S in Neutral, see page 4.7.

Charging Model S
CHARGING6.5
Charging Model SOpening the Charge Port
The charge port is located on the driver’s side
o f M o d e l S , b e h i n d a d o o r t h a t i s p a r t o f t h e r e a r
tail light assembly.
Park Model S so that the charge cable easily
reaches the charge port.
With Model S unlocked, or a recognized key
nearby, press and hold the button on a Tesla
charging cable.
If the cable you are using
does not have this
button, touch Controls >
Charge Port. Or, you can
touch the battery icon at
the top of the
touchscreen, then from
the Charging screen,
touch Open Charge
Port.
To charge at a public
charging station, attach
an adapter to the station’s charging connector.
The most commonly used adapter(s) for each
market region are supplied with Model S.
The charge port lights up white when you open
the charge port door. If you do not connect a
charging cable, the light eventually turns off.
NOTE: If you do not insert the charge cable into
the charge port within a few minutes after
opening the charge port door, the latch closes.
If this happens, use the touchscreen to open
the charge port door.
CAUTION: The connector end of the
charge cable can damage the paint if
dropped onto Model S.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to force the
charge port door open. Doing so can
damage the latch. A damaged latch
cannot hold the door closed.
Plugging In
If desired, use the touchscreen to change the
charge limit and the charging current (see
page 6.7).
If you are using the Mobile Connector, plug it
into the power outlet before plugging it into
Model S.
Align the connector to the charge port and
insert fully. When the connector is properly inserted,
charging begins after Model S:
•Engages a latch that holds the connector in
place.
•Shifts into Park (if it was in any other gear).
•Heats or cools the Battery, if needed. If the
Battery requires heating or cooling, you
may notice a delay before charging begins.
NOTE: Whenever Model S is plugged in but not
actively charging, it draws energy from the wall
instead of using energy stored in the Battery.
For example, if you are sitting in Model S and
using the touchscreen while it is parked and
plugged in, the energy being used is drawn
from the power outlet instead of the Battery.
During Charging
During charging, the charge port pulses green
and charging status displays on the instrument
panel (see page 6.8). The frequency at which
the charge port’s light pulses slows down as the
charge level approaches full. When charging is
complete, the light stops pulsing and is solid
green.
NOTE: If Model S is locked, the light around the
charge port does not light up.
If the light around the charge port lights up red
while charging, a fault is detected. Check the
instrument panel or touchscreen for a message
describing the fault. A fault can occur due to
something as common as a power outage. If a
power outage occurs, charging resumes
automatically when power is restored.
NOTE: When charging, particularly at high
currents, the refrigerant compressor and the
fan operate as needed to keep the Battery cool.
Therefore, it is normal to hear sounds during
charging.
Stopping Charging
You can stop charging at any time by
disconnecting the charge cable or touching
Stop Charging on the touchscreen.
To disconnect the charge cable:
1.Press the button on a Tesla connector to
release the latch.
2.Pull the connector from the charge port.
3.Push the charge port door closed.

Maintenance ScheduleMaintenance Schedule
7.2MODEL S OWNERS MANUAL
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance ScheduleService Intervals
Regular maintenance is the key to ensuring the
continued reliability and efficiency of your
Model S.
Take Model S to Tesla at the regularly scheduled
maintenance intervals of every 12 months, or
every 20,000 kms, whichever comes first.
Model S must be serviced by Tesla-certified
technicians. Damages or failures caused by
maintenance or repairs performed by non-Tesla
certified technicians are not covered by the
warranty.
Fluid Replacement
Do not change or top up Battery coolant and
brake fluid yourself. Tesla service technicians
replace fluids at the regularly scheduled service
intervals:
•Brake fluid - every 2 years or 40,000 kms,
whichever comes first.
•Battery coolant - every 4 years or
80,000 kms, whichever comes first.
NOTE: Any damage from opening the Battery
coolant reservoir is excluded from the warranty.
Daily and Monthly Checks
In addition to the regularly scheduled
maintenance performed by Tesla, you should
carry out a few simple checks more frequently.
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.
•Check the operation of the brakes,
including the parking brake.
•Check the operation of the seat belts
(see page 3.5).
•Look for fluid 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).
Monthly Checks
•Check the condition and pressure of each
tire (see page 7.3).
•Check washer fluid level and top up if
necessary (see page 7.18).
•Check that the air conditioning system is
operating (see page 5.9).
CAUTION: Contact Tesla immediately if
you notice any significant or sudden drop
in fluid levels or uneven tire wear.
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:
•Read and follow all instructions provided on
the labels that are attached to Model S.
These labels are there for your safety.
•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 a fire occurs,
immediately contact your local fire
emergency responders.
WARNING: Always disconnect the charge
cable before working underneath
Model S, even if charging is not in progress.
WARNING: Keep your hands and clothing
away from cooling fans. Some fans
operate even when Model S is powered off.
WARNING: Some fluids (battery acid,
Battery coolant, brake fluid, 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 on fluid containers.
Dispose of used fluids and other
chemicals at authorized waste disposal
sites. It is illegal to pollute drains, waterways or
soil.
