2018 TESLA MODEL 3 wiper blades

ServiceWiper Service Mode: Make wiper blades easy to access (see Wiper Blades
and Washer Jets on page 122).
Adjust Headlights : Make adjustments to the level of the headlights to
accommodate a load you are carrying (see Headlight Adjustments on page
46).Caution: Headlights should only be adjusted by Tesla Service.
Towing: Prepare Model 3 for towing by keeping it in Neutral (which
disengages the parking brake and prevents damage to the rear motor that is
caused by wheels turning as Model 3 is pulled onto a
flatbed truck). See
Instructions for Transporters on page 146.

Checking and Replacing WiperBladesCaution: 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 3 into Park, then use the touchscreen to move them to the service
position. Touch Controls > Service > Wiper
Service Mode > ON .
Note: Wipers automatically return to their
normal position when you shift Model 3 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.
