2018 TESLA MODEL S climate control

Keep Climate OnThe Keep Climate On settings allows you to
keep your climate control system running as
long as the vehicle is in Park, even after you

Ventilation
Outside air is drawn into Model S through the
grill in front of the windshield. Keep the grill
clear of obstructions such as leaves and snow.
To direct the
flow of air inside Model S, move
the interior vents up, down, or from side to
side.
Note: You can direct the outer face level vents
toward the side windows to help defrost or
defog them.
Cabin Air Filter
Model S has an air
filter that prevents pollen,
industrial fallout, road dust and other particles
from entering through the vents. Tesla
replaces the air
filter at the regularly
scheduled maintenance intervals of every
12 months, or every 20,000 km.
Cabin Overheat Protection The climate control system can reduce cabin
temperatures in extremely hot ambient conditions for a period of up to twelve hours
after you exit Model S. When enabled, air
conditioning turns on when cabin
temperatures exceed 40
