Operating Seat Heaters
To control the front seat heaters for the driver
and passenger, touch the corresponding
control on the main climate control area. To
control rear seat heaters, and access duplicate
controls for the front seat heaters, touch the
fan icon, touch the Seats tab, then touch the
seat for which you want to adjust heating.
Seat heaters operate at three setting levels
from 3 (highest) to 1 (lowest). When
operating, the associated seat icon displays
twisting lines that turn red to indicate the
setting level.
Climate Control Operating Tips

Topping Up Washer FluidThe only reservoir into which you can add
fluidis the washer fluid reservoir, which is located
behind the front trunk. When the level is low, a
message displays on the touchscreen.
Caution: Do not add formulated washerfluids 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.
See Wipers and Washers on page 48.
To top up the washer
fluid:
1. Open the hood.
2. Clean around the filler cap before opening
it to prevent dirt from entering the reservoir.
3. Open the
filler cap.
4.Fill the reservoir until the fluid level is
visible just below the filler neck.
5. 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 3.
Caution: Under no circumstances do you
need to inspect or top up other fluidreservoirs. 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 touchscreen that one of these
fluidlevels is low, stop driving Model 3 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
