Removing the Maintenance Panel
To access fuses and check fluid levels, remove the maintenance panel:
1. Pull the rear edge of the maintenance
panel upward to release the five clips that
hold the panel in place.
2. Maneuver the maintenance panel toward
the windshield to remove.Caution: The maintenance panel protects
the front trunk from water. When re- attaching, make sure it is fully seated.Checking Battery Coolant
If the quantity of fluid in the cooling system
drops below the recommended level, the
instrument panel displays a warning message.
Stop Model S as soon as safety permits and
contact Tesla.
Fluid Level Check
Tesla checks the Battery coolant level at the
regularly scheduled maintenance intervals. To
check it yourself, park Model S on level
ground. When Model S is cool, remove the
maintenance panel (see Removing the
Maintenance Panel on page 123).
Check the fluid level visually by looking at the
outside marks on the side of the reservoir. DO
NOT REMOVE THE FILLER CAP AND DO NOT ADD FLUID. Doing so can result in damage
not covered by the warranty.
The fluid level should be between the MIN and
the MAX marks. If you notice that the fluid
level has dropped significantly, contact Tesla before using Model S.
Topping Up the Battery Coolant
Under no circumstances should you add coolant. If the instrument panel warns youthat the fluid level is low, contact Teslaimmediately.
To maximize the performance and life of the Battery, the cooling system uses a specific
type of G-48 ethylene-glycol coolant (HOAT).
Contact Tesla for more specific information
about the coolant.

Fuse Box Locations
Three fuse boxes are located under the
maintenance panel, located in the front trunk.
For instructions on how to remove this panel,
see Removing the Maintenance Panel on page
123.
1. Fuse box 1 (see Fuse Box 1 on page 127).
DO NOT replace these fuses. If one of them fails, contact Tesla.
2. Fuse box 2 (see Fuse Box 2 on page 129).
3. Fuse box 3 (see Fuse Box 3 on page 131).
Replacing a Fuse
To remove a fuse box cover, press the plastic
tabs on either side.
Identify the fuse protecting the affected
circuit. Refer to the label on the inside of the fuse box cover or the fuse tables provided in
this section.
Pull the fuse to remove it. A break in the wire inside the fuse indicates that the fuse hasblown.
Note: Do not replace fuses in fuse boxes
1 and 4, and do not remove or replace any relays. If one of these fails, contact Tesla.
Warning: Always manually power Model S
off before replacing a fuse (see Powering
Off on page 41).Caution: Only use Tesla-approved
replacement fuses of the same rating and specification. Using an incorrect fuse can
damage the electrical system and result in a fire.Caution: If a replacement fuse blows after
installation, contact Tesla to have the electrical system checked.
