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. On a single motor Model S, you can check it
yourself. To do so, park Model S on level
ground. When Model S is cool, remove the
maintenance panel (see Removing the
Maintenance Panel on page 149).
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 fluidlevel 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 you that
the
fluid level is low, contact Tesla
immediately.
To maximize the performance and life of the Battery, the cooling system uses a
specifictype of G-48 ethylene-glycol coolant (HOAT).
Contact Tesla for more specific information
about the coolant.

Fuse Box LocationsThree 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
149.
1. Fuse box 1 (see Fuse Box 1 on page 153).
DO NOT replace these fuses. If one of
them fails, contact Tesla.
2. Fuse box 2 (see Fuse Box 2 on page 155).
3. Fuse box 3 (see Fuse Box 3 on page 157).
Replacing a Fuse
To remove a fuse box cover, press the plastic
tabs on either side.
Identify the fuse protecting the affectedcircuit. 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 has
blown.
Note: Do not replace fuses in fuse box 1, and do not remove or replace any relays. If one of
these fails, contact Tesla.
Warning: Always manually power Model Soff before replacing a fuse (see PoweringOff 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.
