Topping Up Washer Fluid
The only reservoir into which you can add
fluid is the washer fluid reservoir located
under the front trunk. When the level is low, a
message displays on the instrument panel.
Do not use formulated washer fluids 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 washer fluid:
1. Clean the filler cap before opening to
prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.
2. Open the filler cap.
3.Fill the reservoir until the fluid level is
visible just below the filler neck.
4. Replace the filler cap.
Note: Some national or local regulations
restrict the use of Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs). VOCs are commonly used as antifreeze in washer fluid. Use a
washer fluid 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 other fluid
reservoirs. Two additional fluid reservoirs
are located next to the washer fluid, 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 washer fluid on body
panels. Doing so can cause damage. Wipe
up spills immediately and wash the
affected area with water.Warning: In temperatures below
40° F (4° C), use a washer fluid with
antifreeze. In cold weather, using a
washer fluid without antifreeze can impair
visibility through the windshield.
