2017 TESLA MODEL S lock

Loading New Software
Model S updates its software wirelessly,
providing new features throughout your term of ownership. Tesla recommends that you
install software update as soon as they are
available. The
first time you enter Model S
after an update is made available, a scheduling
window displays on the touchscreen. The
scheduling window displays again at the end
of your
first driving session.
Note: Some software updates can take from
two to three hours to complete. Model S must be in P (Park) when the new software is being
installed. To ensure the fastest and most
reliable delivery of software updates, leave the
Wi-Fi turned on and connected whenever
possible (see Connecting to Wi-Fi on page
125).
When a software update is available, a yellow
clock icon appears on the touchscreen

Checking and Replacing Wiper
BladesCaution: Wiper blades do not lock into a lifted position. When cleaning or
replacing a wiper blade, lift the wiper arm
only a short distance from the windshield,
just far enough to access the blade. Do
not lift a wiper arm beyond its intended
position. Doing so can cause damage that
is not covered by the warranty.
To make wiper blades easy to access, turn offthe wipers, shift Model S into Park, then use
the touchscreen to move them to the service
position. Touch Controls > Settings > Service &
Reset > Service Mode > ON.
Note: Wipers automatically return to their
normal position when you shift Model S out of Park.
Periodically check and clean the edge of the wiper blade and check the rubber for cracks,
splits and roughness. If damaged, replace the blade immediately to prevent damage to the
glass.
Contaminants on the windshield, or on the wiper blades, can reduce the
effectiveness of
the wiper blades. Contaminants include ice,
wax spray from car washes, washer
fluid with
bug and/or water repellent, bird droppings,
tree sap, and other organic substances.

Connect the Towing EyeThe method used to connect the winch cabledepends on whether Model S is equipped with
a towing eye (located in the front trunk).
If not equipped with a towing eye:
1. Attach the tow straps to the large hole on each of the rearmost lower suspension
arms underneath the front of the vehicle.
2. To protect the underbody from any damage that could be caused by the tow
straps, place a 2" x 4" piece of wood
between the tow straps and the
underbody.
Caution: Before pulling, position the wood
between the tow strap and the
underbody to ensure the underbody is
protected from any damage that could be caused by the tow strap.If equipped with a towing eye:
1. Locate the towing eye in the front trunk.
2. Remove the tow hook cover by inserting a small
flat screwdriver into the slot located
along the top of the cover, then prying gently to release the cover from the topsnap.
3. Insert the towing eye.
Fully insert the towing eye into the
opening on the right side, then turn it
counter-clockwise until securely fastened.
4. Attach the winch cable to the towing eye.
Caution: Before pulling, make sure the
towing eye is securely tightened.
