Wipers and Washers
DRIVING4.15
Wipers and WashersWipers
To wipe the windshield, rotate the end of the
left-hand steering column lever away from you.
You can choose from four levels:
•1st: Auto with low rain sensitivity.*
•2nd: Auto with high rain sensitivity.*
•3rd: Continuous, slow.
•4th: Continuous, high.
For a single wipe, press and release the end of
the lever.
If the wipers are set to Auto and the sensor
detects no water, the wipers do not wipe.
When you operate the wipers, headlights
automatically turn on (if they are not on
already).
*Model S has a rain sensor located on the inside
of the windshield at the base of the interior
mirror. When wipers are set to Auto, the
frequency at which they wipe depends on how
much water the sensor detects. When wipers
are set to the 2nd level, the sensor is more
sensitive.
To extend the life of wiper blades, remove ice
from the windshield before turning wipers on.
Ice has sharp edges that can damage the
rubber on the blades.
Periodically check and clean the edge of the
wiper blade. If damaged, replace the blade
immediately. For details on checking replacing
wiper blades, see page 7.15.
CAUTION: In harsh climates, ensure that
the wiper blades are not frozen or
adhered to the windshield.
De-icing Wipers
If Model S is equipped with the cold weather
option, you can de-ice wipers by touching
Controls > Cold Weather > Heated Wipers.
This control heats the wipers for 15 minutes and
then automatically turns off.
Washers
Press and hold the button on the end of the
left-hand steering column lever to spray washer
fluid onto the windshield. The wipers turn on.
When you release, the wipers turn off after
wiping the windshield a couple more times.
Periodically top up washer fluid (see page 7.18).
De-icing Washer Nozzles
If Model S is equipped with the cold weather
option, washer nozzles have de-icers that turn
on whenever the ambient temperature nears
freezing, or when you turn on the heated wipers
(Controls > Cold Weather > Heated Wipers).
The washer de-icers turn off when the heated
wipers turn off (after 15 minutes), provided the
temperature is warm enough to prevent
freezing.

Settings > Language & Units.
2.Apps
There are several ways to display an app in

•Drag the app’s icon directly onto the top
or bottom viewing area.
•Touch and hold the app’s icon to display
a popup that lets you choose whether to
display the app in the top or bottom of
the main viewing area. 3.Main viewing area

example, the Nav and Media apps are
displayed). For some apps (such as Nav and
Web), you can zoom in and out using
standard touchcreen finger gestures.
4.Maximize/minimize app
Touch the small rectangle to expand the
associated app to fill the entire main
viewing area (some apps are not

volume lowers. When the last door is
closed, Media Player stops playing.
