1. Place the curved part of the lug nut cover tool (located in the glovebox for some vehicles, or you can use a small allen wrench) into the lowered
perimeter around the middle of the lug nut cover.
NOTE: The lug nut cover tool can also be purchased
at an auto parts store or through online retailers.
2.
Twist the lug nut cover tool so that the end of the curved part is facing away from the Tesla "T".
3.
Firmly pull the lug nut tool away from the wheel until the lug nut cover is released.
To install the lug nut cover:
1.
Align the lug nut cover into position.
2.
Push firmly on the lug nut cover until it fully snaps
into place.
CAUTION: Make sure the lug nut cover is fully
secure before driving to prevent it from falling
off.
Tire Pressure Monitoring
Each tire should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the recommended pressures that are printed
on the Tire and Loading Information label located on the
driver’s door pillar (see Maintaining Tire Pressures on
page 164). If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label, determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a TPMS that displays a tire pressure telltale (Tire Pressure Warning) on the
touchscreen when
one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the Tire Pressure indicator light
displays on the
touchscreen to alert you about tire
pressure, stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure (see Maintaining
Tire Pressures on page 164). Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces range
