Touchscreen Overview
66Model S Owner's Manual

Overview of Climate ControlsThe climate controls are always available at the bottom of the touchscreen. By default, climate
control is set to Auto On, which maintains optimum comfort in all but the most severe weather conditions. When you adjust the temperature, the system automatically adjusts the heating, air
conditioning, air distribution, air circulation, and fan speed to maintain your selected temperature.
To override these settings, touch Auto On (see Customizing Climate Control on page 73).
The fan, heating, and air conditioning systems are powered by the Battery. Therefore, prolonged use decreases driving range.
Note: The following illustration is provided for demonstration purposes only. Depending on
vehicle options, software version, market region, and settings, the information displayed may be
slightly different.1. The front seats are equipped with heating
pads that operate at three levels from 3
(highest) to 1 (lowest).
When operating, the indicator turns red
and displays the setting number.
Note: If Model S is equipped with the
optional cold weather package or
executive seats, you can also control seat
heaters in the rear seats as well as heated wipers by touching Controls > Cold
Weather (see Controls on page 67). When
equipped with executive seats, you can
control the seat and the backrest
separately in each second row passenger
seat.
2. Touch the up or down arrow to set the
cabin temperature (from LO, 63° F to
HI, 90° F/LO, 17° C to HI, 32° C). To apply a temperature setting to both the driver
and passenger side at the same time,
touch SYNC TEMP on the temperature
popup that appears when you touch an
arrow.
3. Automatic/Manual climate control (see
Customizing Climate Control on page
73).4. The windshield defroster distributes air
flow to the windshield and operates the
heating and fan at their maximum level.
Touch once for Normal Defrost and twice
for Max Defrost. When on, touch again to
turn off and restore the air distribution,
heating, and fan to their previous settings.
5. Turn climate control system on/off.
6. The rear window defroster warms up the
rear window* for 15 minutes, then
automatically shuts off.
*If Model S is equipped with the optional
tech package, exterior side mirrors are
also heated.Warning: To avoid burns resulting from
prolonged use, individuals who have
peripheral neuropathy, or whose capacity to feel pain is limited because of diabetes,
age, neurological injury, or some other
condition, should exercise caution when using the climate control system and seat
heaters.

72Model S Owner's Manual

Customizing Climate ControlThe climate control system is designed to automatically provide optimum comfort in most
situations. All you need to do is set the desired temperature, and the air conditioning, air
recirculation, air distribution, and fan speed automatically maintain your selected temperature.
To override the automatic setting, touch AUTO ON to view the individual settings. Then touch the
setting you want to change. When you change a setting, the AUTO ON icon turns from blue to
gray and RESET AUTO displays instead.
1.Touch RESET AUTO to change all settings
back to the their default values.
2. Touch A/C ON or A/C OFF to turn the air
conditioning on and off, respectively. Turning it off reduces cooling, but saves
energy.
Because Model S runs much quieter than a gasoline-powered vehicle, you may notice
the sound of the compressor as it is
operating. To minimize noise, reduce the
fan speed or recirculate the air.
3. Touch to specify how air is drawn into
Model S:
Outside air is drawn into
Model S (see Ventilation on
page 74). Although less
efficient than recirculating the
air in very hot or low climate
conditions, this setting draws
more air into the rear seating
areas, and is recommended
when occupants are seated in
the Tesla built-in rear facing
child seats.Air inside Model S is
recirculated. This prevents
outside air (traffic fumes) from
entering but reduces
dehumidifying and cooling
performance. Recirculating the
air is the most efficient way to
cool the front cabin area but it
is also the loudest. To prevent
the windshield from fogging in
some conditions, briefly change
the setting every hour to draw
in outside air.
4. Touch one of these icons to select where
air flows. You can choose more than one
location:
Foot-level ventsFace-level ventsWindshield vents
5. Touch and drag the slider to set the speed
of the fan.

Using the Touchscreen73

Ventilation
Outside air is drawn into Model S through the
grill in front of the windshield. Keep the grill
clear of obstructions such as leaves and snow.
To direct the flow of air inside Model S, move
the interior vents up, down, or from side to
side.
Note: You can direct the outer face level vents
toward the side windows to help defrost or defog them.
Cabin Air Filter
Model S has an air filter that prevents pollen,
industrial fallout, road dust and other particles
from entering through the vents. Tesla replaces the air filter at the regularly
scheduled maintenance intervals of every 12 months, or every 12,500 miles (20,000 km).
Climate Control Operating Tips
• To conserve energy, you can limit the power of the climate control system by
turning on Range Mode. Cabin heating and cooling may be less effective, butseat heaters turn on to compensate.
Touch Controls > Settings > Vehicle >
Range Mode .
• If the climate control system operates more loudly than you prefer, reduce the
fan speed or adjust the air flow to draw in
outside air (instead of recirculating).
• In addition to cooling the interior, the air conditioning system also cools the
Battery. Therefore, in hot weather, the air conditioning system can turn on even if
you turned it off. This is normal because the system’s priority is to cool the Battery
to ensure it stays within an optimum
temperature range to support long life and optimum performance.
• To ensure the climate control system operates efficiently, close all windows and
ensure that the exterior grill in front of the
windshield is free of ice, snow, leaves, and
other debris.
• To reduce the time it takes to reach a comfortable temperature in hot weather,
drive with the windows slightly open for a
few minutes when you first start driving.
• In very humid conditions, it is normal for the windshield to fog slightly when you
first turn on the air conditioning. This fog
clears within a few seconds.
• It is normal for a small pool of water to form under Model S when parked. Extra
water produced by the dehumidifying
process is drained underneath.
