2022 TESLA MODEL S Owner´s Manual

1.
Driving distance: Displays the total
estimated driving distance available.
2.
Set limit: Adjust the charge limit by
dragging the arrow below the battery to
indicate the level of charging you want.
The setting you choose applies to
immediate and scheduled charging
sessions.
NOTE: A portion of the battery image
may appear blue. This indicates that a
small portion of the energy stored in the
battery is not available because the
battery is cold. This is normal and no
reason for concern. When the battery warms up, the blue portion no longer displays.
3.
Stop charging: Touch to stop charging.
4.
Charge current at this location: The
current automatically sets to the
maximum current available from the
attached charge cable, unless it was previously reduced to a lower level. If
needed, touch
- or + to change the
current (for example, you may want to
reduce the current if you are concerned
about overloading a domestic wiring
circuit shared by other equipment). It is
not possible to set the charging current to
a level that exceeds the maximum
available from the attached charge cable.
When you change the current,
Model S remembers the location. If you charge at
the same location, you do not need to
change it again.
NOTE: If Model S is charging and detects
unexpected

Scheduled Charging and
Scheduled Departure
Toggle between Scheduled Departure and
Scheduled Charging by touching Controls > Charging > Switch to Scheduled Departure/Scheduled Charging.
Using Scheduled Charging
With Scheduled Charging selected, enable
the feature then set a daily time when you
want
Model S to start charging.
Using Scheduled Departure
When Scheduled Departure is displayed,
touch Schedule to set a daily time when you
want Model S to be ready to drive. Specify a
time, then touch Settings to enable either or
both of the following departure features:

Service Intervals
Your vehicle should generally be serviced on
an as-needed basis. However, Tesla
recommends the following maintenance items
and intervals, as applicable to your vehicle, to
ensure continued reliability and
efficiency of
your Model S.

NOTE: In addition to cooling the interior, the
air conditioning compressor also cools the
Battery. Therefore, in hot weather, the air
conditioning compressor can turn on even if
you turned it
off. This is normal because the
system

Maintaining Tire Pressures
Keep tires inflated to the pressures shown on
the Tire and Loading Information label, even if
it
differs from the pressure printed on the tire
itself. The Tire and Loading Information label is located on the center door pillar and is
visible when the front door is open.
The Tire Pressure indicator
light on the instrument panel alerts you if one or
more tires is under- or over-inflated.
The Tire Pressure indicator light does not immediately turn off when you adjust tire pressure. After inflating the tire to the
recommended pressure, you must drive over
15 mph (25 km/h) for more than 10 minutes to
activate the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS), which turns
off the Tire Pressure
indicator light.
If the indicator light flashes for one minute
whenever you power on Model S, a fault with
the TPMS is detected (see TPMS Malfunction on page 192).
You can display tire pressures on the touchscreen by opening Controls > Service.
You can also choose whether you want to
display tire pressures using Bar or PSI by opening
Controls > Display > Tire Pressure.
WARNING: Under-inflation is the most common cause of tire failures and can cause a tire to overheat, resulting in severe tire cracking, tread separation, or blowout, which causes unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury. Under-inflation also reduces the vehicle

Inspecting and Maintaining
Tires
Regularly inspect the tread and side walls for
any sign of distortion (bulges), foreign
objects, cuts or wear.
WARNING: Do not drive Model S if a tire is damaged, excessively worn, or inflated to an incorrect pressure. Check tires regularly for wear, and ensure there are no cuts, bulges or exposure of the ply/cord structure.
Tire Wear
Adequate tread depth is important for proper
tire performance. Tires with a tread depth less
than
4/32” (3 mm) are more likely to
hydroplane in wet conditions and should not be used. Tires with a tread depth less than
5/32” (4 mm) do not perform well in snow
and slush and should not be used when driving in winter conditions.
Model S is originally fitted with tires that have
wear indicators molded into the tread
pattern. When the tread has been worn down
to
4/32” (3 mm), the indicators start to
appear at the surface of the tread pattern,
producing the
effect of a continuous band of
rubber across the width of the tire. For
optimal performance and safety, Tesla
recommends replacing tires before the wear indicators are visible.
Tire Rotation, Balance, and Wheel
Alignment
Tesla recommends rotating the tires every 6,250 miles (10,000 km) or if tread depth difference is 2/32 in (1.5 mm) or greater,
whichever comes first.
Unbalanced wheels (sometimes noticeable as
vibration through the steering yoke) affect
vehicle handling and tire life. Even with
regular use, wheels can get out of balance.
Therefore, they should be balanced as
required.
If tire wear is uneven (on one side of the tire
only) or becomes abnormally excessive,
check the alignment of wheels.
NOTE: When replacing only two tires, install
the new tires on the rear if your vehicle
